“But what this country needs isn’t a conservative die-hard as much as it does a real leader. “
You don’t understand Leadership. Some of the best leaders in History have been some of the most evil and dispicable men. You choose a “real leader” (which you don’t understand leadership characteristics) of a die-hard conservative...son you are truely in the wrong place.
Go read up on Leadership when you have a chance. Your earlier statement that if someone leads you in the wrong direction means they are not a great leader. That is a foolish mindframe. You didn’t like the Hilter reference, which was indeed very appropriate to counter your argument, so how about Stalin, Lenin, the Mutada Al-Sadr, Osama Bin-Ladin, Aiman Al-Zawahri. You would discount all of them as great leaders. Well, I would say, their followers disagree(d).

Nevertheless, I'll be happy to answer you.
zeroisanumber and I were having a discussion. In the context of that discussion, we were talking about "leaders" and, in the context of that discussion, it was understood that both of us were talking about leaders in the sense of good men who people will follow. In fact, in the context of that discussion we were talking about who would be a good leader for this nation in 2008. A certain amount of that was understood, but we were both reasonable enough to understand it.
We were having a disagreement about whether or not certain candidates fall into that category, but there was never any misunderstanding between us about the context in which we were using the term.
Now you're still going off on a rant about Hitler and a whole cast of characters who absolutely and in no way fit the term in that context.
I sincerely hope you are not representative of the caliber of poster who will be replacing all the folks who are being banned. You've added nothing but vitriol to what was otherwise a decent conversation, even if it was a disagreement.
Respond if you like. I'm leaving work and going home and won't be back to FR until tomorrow ... assuming I'm not banned when I try to log on. If you've anything to say in response to this, I'm sure I'll respond then.
Maybe you can even bait me into saying something nasty and getting myself kicked off of FR, and then you can go around all day long butting into conversations and ignoring context and defining words for yourself and posting things like "you don't understand leadership" and "which you don't understand leadership characteristics" and "son you are truely in the wrong place" and "Go read up on Leadership when you have a chance" to people who have no ability to respond.
