You as well as I know that the real debate is your insistence that the above right to preemptively attack anyone they please extends to people who belong to the Islamic faith and to every individual. This is implicit in your defense of Gadhafi et al and the argument that Islam is a Religion of Peace because you conducted a survey and found that 999.999 million members of Islam are purveyors of peace. The least you could do is not pretend to be a conservative. As far as I am concerned, Islam is a violent religion and is the cause of terrorism.

I think we are in agreement with the idea that Islam sucks, so I'm not sure what you're point is here. Do you want to make a specific accusation against George W. Bush or someone else? If so, I would be happy to defend him. If you contend that I somehow defended Muammar al-Gaddafi, I'll let you know that the older sister of a close friend of mine was on Pan Am Flight 103. I went to her funeral. You're barking up the wrong tree my friend.

You libertarians seem to forget that war once made a bedfellow of Joseph Stalin for us.

Do you want to make a specific accusation against George W. Bush

When it came to a fundamental conservative principle like fiscal discipline. George W. Bush was neither a conservative, nor a libertarian. As a Texan, I knew this to be the case long before Bush ran for the Presidency.

Nonetheless, I held my nose and voted for him in the name of party unity.

I have no confidence that if the roles were reversed, you'd vote for a libertarian-leaning Republican.

That disconnect is why our party is as fractured as it is. And it's why Obama, as arrogant, out-of-touch, and inexperienced as he is, may end up being a two-term president.

I don't care if you hate libertarians. I don't care if you ignore all evidence, no matter how well sourced, you're wrong about libertarian Republicans.

But I do care if you and those like you keep the party fractured so Obama gets a second term.

Remember, I'll vote for folks like you for the chance to send Obama home from DC. But I don't see you voting for libertarian Republicans.

So, currently, you're the problem. Decide who you hate more, and move in a straight line based on that decision.
