I alwayas thought that conservatives were optimists. Either Rush is wrong, or these folks aren't conservative.
I found this tidbit buried in an article on what was found in Z mans safehouse...some reporter asks the Iraqi National Security guy....how we can trust the info on the laptops and thumbdrives we found in the rubble...and his reply.
When asked how he could be sure the information was authentic, al-Rubaie said "there is nothing more authentic than finding a thumbdrive in his pocket."
Zarqawi had a thumbdrive in his pocket....:-)
Which could contain the mother lode.
I always thought we were realists.
Given all the blessings which have been showered on our nation, optimism is usually realistic.
But the realism comes first.
I was reading something yesterday about President Reagan's second term. It was about this same time into his term that 'conservatives' started bitching and moaning that he had 'betrayed' them, and they started bad-mouthing him. So it sounds like President Bush is in pretty good company.
