. . . in the attempt to be “balanced,” that he, like a lot of libertarians, is harsher in degree for the sins of the right than the left.
Think of it as being a little more harsh (or firm, if you will) on your own because you expect your own perhaps to know better, and your own proffers clues enough that he does know better. Nobody needs to be reminded of the sins of the left, but an awful lot of people seem to think--or act as though they think---that the right, if not conceived immaculately, can do little to no wrong, even in the face of empirical evidence that needs to be exhumed and revisited regularly enough lest Satayana's Law clap it for an even longer stretch in purgatory than His Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada, COD, RIP, LSMFT, Would-Be Life President of the Republic Formerly Known as the United States, and Chairman of the Organisation of Halfrican Unity, would see it consigned.
The Paulites say Bush was a failure so we have Obama.
Thus, since Ron Paul and all other Libertarians are failures, a Libertarian is not and never will be president.
Agreement on what?
On the bailouts? On the Constitution? On the size and scope of Government?
It's pretty sad when your only defense is to spew ad hominems and smears, namely the tired allegation of DU membership and the implicit "liberaltarian" smear against small-l libertarians.
It's pretty sad when self-proclaimed "conservatives" quickly default to more Government when it's fairly evident that Government has failed terribly--at education, at health care, and even at defending the Republic, as demonstrated by the incompetence displayed on September 11 and more recently, the snafu involving unencrypted communications channels on the Predator drones because the U.S. government simply "assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit [the unencrypted communications channel]."
It's pretty sad when self-proclaimed "conservatives" turn their backs on Reagan's words that "government is the problem and not the solution."
Why would I support Alan Grayson, a liberal Democrat?
McCain is a fu%king fuddy duddy. Everytime I watch him “politic” his licked finger in the wind I want to vomit and smash my TV with a brick. I am a Navy vet.
And I’ll tell you another thing... the next time you reference me to the Democratic Underground I’m gonna be very pissed. Back off of it. I don’t like what’s become of our government anymore than you do. I despise Hussein and EVERYTHING liberal and anti-God.
As one vet to another, I have your back. Do you have mine? Because baby, when the day comes that they knock on my dooor to “take me away” is the day the bullets fly. I hope I’m not the only one standing there either. But I will be if I must.
An idiot is someone who drops everything to chase a robber down the street while leaving his front and back door swinging open, assuming that the robber is too stupid to double back and walk right in.
Because he’s good enough for Paul to accept him as co-sponsor of his signature legislation; that’s a real affinity of thought and purpose.
Back atcha!
There were many Democrats and many Republicans, of all ideological stripes, co-sponsoring his Federal Reserve audit legislation, yet you chose Alan Grayson.
Why?
Michele Bachmann also co-sponsored his bill; she even invited him to join her for a Town Hall on monetary policy in Minnesota.
They don't care who leaves them alone.
Huh-uh; Just like it’s McCain-Feingold, who cares who else sponsored it, it is Paul-Grayson, http://news.firedoglake.com/2009/11/19/paul-grayson-audit-the-fed-bill-passes-financial-services-committee/
Ironically DU is ripping Obama and the Senate-Reid_Obama Health reform plan now, very unhappy over there.
But yes, the only defense Bush-bots are left with for Bush is “They are using that argument.” This is every day, 24-7. Pretty pathetic.
Probably true, but a Liberty Republican has a good shot and is far better than a "moderate" (read Liberal RINO) Republican.
I cannot understand those Republicans that see a Constitutional government as their enemy and Liberal Republicans as their "friends".
We are headed in a direction of an all powerful state -- whether led by a Democrat or a Republican -- the pendulum needs to swing back toward the side of Liberty so that no politicians and no Party has the power to destroy us.
That's a given in my book. So you and ole Dakota can call us whatever names you want. I am banking that the call of Liberty is stronger than your puny voices.
Good post.
Once again!
Whew! you left the repubs .. good for you!!
At least that’s one less RINO in our midst!!!!!
Do they not originate “over there?”
Do they not train to attack us “over there?”
Sorry to pop your little Paulistinian mind, but they are also here and with the measures you all opposed by Bush, they weren’t able to pull of another attack, where they?
They got here long before Bush was in office and were training long before Bush was elected.
Compared to the total of our Forces, we have a small number “over there,” where the fight belongs.
Unless, you enjoy seeing American school children dodging IED’s in the way to school.
No, you’d rather wait until more are here, more are amassed on our borders and our streets are bloody.
BUsh took it back to the heart of the matter, “Over there!”
Bashing Bush and the War on Terror.
You and Democratic Underground spew the same talking points.
Despite the fallacious attribution of the quote to Jefferson, it was the RINO Gerald Ford who said , “ The government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.” That just may be the lowest common denominator to get to 50%+, like it or not.
You don’t want me referencing you to DU, then stop with their talk.
Congratulations on Navy, I was Army.
I have your back but with the notion of just walking away and allowing those who have been attacking us for so long to regroup, retrain and launch another attack, I wonder if you have mine.
Do yourself a big favor and visit some anti-war left sites and read what they say and then compare it to what you and Paul say. See how much in agreement you all are and how much you repeat their own bashing of Bush.
If you really fear that one day they will come to your doorto take you away, stop tearing the GOP down and help us rebuild it with strong candidates, not McCains.
Recognize that far from perfect, Bush took the fight back to where it needed to be.
You had a constitutional government.
Learn that the founders built in an amendment process that has been followed, whether we like all those amendments or not.
Those within the GOP are who are standing up to RINO’s moderates and now, Paulies.
Your efforts to destroy the GOP helps stop Democrats how?
