No I'm conservative, just not Republican.
who boo our Vice President in public
Oh so we just boo our leaders in private? You do realize the intent of the First Amendment was originally to protect political speech. You think booing is bad? Look at some of the old political cartoons. Booing is nothing.
who say they’d take our troops out of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, *and* Israel so Bin Ladin won’t get mad.
No because there's no need for them. You'll provide the Constitutional basis for having troops stationed in over 70% of the world will you?
Not to mention not being able to tell us how far they’d back off for Saddam, Kim Chong Il, and every other little tyrant.
Yes, after all under the Bush administration we've been throwing food and materials at the North Koreans faster than before (look it up). As for 'every other little tyrant', we're now in the business of fixing every problem? World's policeman eh? Good luck with that. I would point out how specifically history is repeating itself again but your Wilsonian worldview would discount it....
There’s the difference - you see containing a nuclear power experimenting with missiles and with a history of selling weapons as a problem not worth fixing.
The defense of the citizens is the purpose of the government. Defense depends on strength. The strength and protection of the sovereignty of the United States includes protecting our borders from jets, missiles, nuclear fallout and bioweapons. Our defense can no longer stop at our physical borders.
I would have hoped that you could see the difference between food and war and between ensuring that the bargain made in exchange for that food is kept or ignored. Clinton gave food and did nothing when the bargain was broken. President Bush inherited this fiasco. At least since 9/11, and definitely since we marched into Baghdad, it is known that President Bush, like Reagan, will accept no aggression and punish fraud. (Just ask Qaddafi.)
This goes deeper than mere cultural and community differences between the anti-war faction and conservatives. You weren’t even aware that that phrase is unacceptable and why, or you didn’t care. Then, you couldn’t see my response as noting further proof of your lack of understanding of FReeper customs, but saw it as changing the subject.
You don’t know or don’t care how much your rhetoric and tactics resemble A.N.S.W.E.R. and the “Kos”es and “Pinks,” and that you are being used to break up the Republican party by those women and men on the street trying to “Register” Dems as Republicans and inside the Convention Center trying to buy credentials and booing and heckling our guests and officials.
Either way, your response is still essentially, “Put some ice on it,” as though it’s all my hangup and you have no personal responsibility for getting out of line by local standards.
At the least you, and the Paulers at the Straw Poll are impolite and don’t care. That’s impolitic as well.
