Well, I'm not sure about "the rest of you", but I know I didn't make my decision about Bush based on one article from the NYT, much less jump in bed with them, as you seem insistent on believing. I don't know if it makes it easier to dismiss an entire group by believing they all have horns and mate with monkeys or whatever drivel is thrown out, but that seems to be a consistent practice on FR (from this relative newcomer's perspective).
I have not supported Bush for President since the idea first hit the media. It had nothing to DO with some recent article. I have judged him off what he has said and does; there is no preconceived prejudice because he is who he is. It's not that I don't believe he's telling the truth; my frustration is with what he actually says! I didn't know the first thing about the man until he began running in the primaries.
I'm not a Libertarian and never will be. I'm a Christian, conservative, Air Force captain who happens to be black (hence my alias). I'm simply someone who has been and will always be, unhappy with needless compromise. I have a tremendous admiration for men of principle and passion (ala Bibbi Netanyahu).
If that makes me some kind of outcast on this website, I welcome the label.
i so agree!
