I'm far from "going ballistic"; dear. LOL
Unlike your world, mine is just fine and dandy. President Bush got Roberts and Alito on the SCOTUS, we're doing well in Iraq and make steady progress, the IslamoNazis are making the Europeans made as a wet hen at them all, and I'm laughing at your posts, with such hilarity, that I really must tone it down, or I'll wake my husband. :-)
If you think I'm a fringer you have no idea who I am. While I support Bush on his SCOUTUS picks, the Iraq war and so on i do not like his border politics, nor did I support his choice of Harriet Miers. Do I want to hold hands and sing Kumbaya? No, but I will not allow some sniviling idiots on this board to kick someone whose ideas might be different from our own. I don't want mindless drones here, I want someone who can think for themselves. His lefty ideas don't scare me into wanting to toss him because I am confident of my views, that are not PC, and not dronish. If I am in the minority here in supporting this new member so be it. Kick me to the curb, but don't do so under false pretenses of me being a lefty, or a PC touchy-feely type.
