BDS [Bush Derangement Syndrome] On the Right (Paleocons, and the like)
To The Point ^

Ever since George W. Bush won the presidency by preventing Al Gore's hanging-chad attempt to steal it, liberal Democrats have become progressively infected with BDS Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Here's how I think that the contagion of BDS is now infecting a number of conservative Republicans.
If you're a guy, perhaps you have endured this unpleasant and bewildering experience. You're in a relationship and you and the lady have had some disagreements but nothing major. From your perspective things are pretty ok. Then one day you and she disagree on some minor trivial issue and suddenly, inexplicably, it escalates as she unloads on you.
It seems like the love of your life has had a personality transplant, you're facing a virago disgorging a torrent of anger, and all you can think is, "Where did this come from?"
If you're a guy, you're nodding your head in understanding. If you're a gal, you're muttering, "Men are so clueless. We give them all these hints for so long that things are bugging us, they never get the message, then when we finally can't take it any more and snap, they're mystified."
I think you get the analogy.
A relationship that suffers this trauma can survive only if both parties calm down afterwards, focus on their mutual interests and commitment, and work together to solve their grievances.

But it's another thing entirely when Duncan Hunter (R-CA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, goes around the bend and offers a bill to make all foreign ownership or leasing of any cargo terminal in any US port illegal. Duncan, my buddy whom I've gone quail hunting with, how could he get so nuts?
There are some 3,200 terminals in US ports. 80% of them are foreign owned or leased. Unions and government regulations have made it impossible for US shipping companies to stay in business, making them bit players in the international shipping business. (See this story in the New York Times, US Companies Weighed Anchor on Ports Long Ago.)
Duncan's bill would cause astronomical damage to the US economy, but he doesn't care because he's on a BDS rant.

Give it up boy. You're wrong, and you're trying to pick a fight with the wrong person.
But you can keep talking with yourself, if that makes you feel important. I'm leaving.

LOL! Let's review this situation, shall we? You start posting to me, picking at me, insulting me, trying to start some kind of fight, and then you call ME on insulting YOU?
You are a funny one, sour. But, as I said........most definitely not worth my time.
SMALL GOVERNMENT CONSERVATIVE..........all my long life. :)

Dialoguing requires TWO people who can think.
(Crayolas and Koolaid do not reveal an active thought process........but really cute insults.......I mean it. You're cute........darling, even......).

Yes, indeed. A real man, that young son of mine (actually BOTH of them).
(Someone on this thread could have used a little better rearing, methinks. ;)
