Finally, a Ron Paul / Iran apologist who actually thinks she makes sense.

I don't give a damn whether Ron Paul said it, Newt Gingrich said it or anyone else said it. It's about logic to me. Does it make sense? -- not just "Does it appeal to emotions?" or "Did my guy say it?"

We've been running on easily manipulable emotions for too long -- it's those same emotions that elected Barrack Obama. We need strategic thinkers, not wild-eyed zealotry. Conservatism used to have a tradition of thinkers and intellectuals who actually thought things out instead of who just pissed people off so they go jumping off of cliffs. What in the hell happened to that tradition? Because it was from there that we used to be able to come to agreement on issues based on principles. Now it's all some mob mentality that attacks ad hominem and name calls to make their point.

We've got to do better than this if we want any sort of future for this country.
