JC, although this is a news AND discussion site, you'd never know it from some of the participants who would have you defend every idiot and their incomprehensible actions (e.g., Rumsfeld) because they're employed by a conservative president. In other words, abandon your free thinking, independent logic, and vote like the citizens of Philadelphia do for the Left. Not in this house, no way, never.
"...you'd never know it from some of the participants who would have you defend every idiot and their incomprehensible actions..."
Exactly. Sticking to a position and defending it at all costs no matter what happens is the same mindless "logic" that has sunk the American Left and the Islamic Arab world into their current pathetic state of denial and conspiracy.
I refuse to follow any sort of playbook in the way I see things. Cheers!
