I wish.
If Doug Bandow is too "liberal" for you, who the hell do you read while forming your opinions besides GWB?
I don't know who Doug Bandow is. I just looked him up and saw that he works for Cato. Fee fi fo fum. I smell a libertarian. I found some pearls of wisdom from Mr. Bandow, circa 1998:
The GOP viewpoint seems to be captured by the lament of North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones: ''The U.S. military that won the Cold War and the Gulf War no longer exists.''But there's no reason why that military should still exist. The Cold War is over. America won. Even though the world remains dangerous, it isn't particularly dangerous to the United States.
Monday, December 7, was the 57th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that thrust the U.S. into World War II. But the world, and America's place in it, is much different today.
He's got a college degree. He was a bureacrat for Ronald Reagan. I'm not saying he is ignorant. I'm not saying he is a liberal. I am simply saying his arguments are the same as Phil Donahue's.
Not quite, but any clock is right twice a day.
Concidering your self admitted lack of knowledge about the author, I would ask you to reconcider this comment and I would be happy to recommend some of his books for your perusal. I think you might feel a little sheepish after you found out how many of his opinons are also held by you.
It should be pointed out however, that the author is not the subject. Thoughtful concideration of the points he has made and critique of them should be the goal of this thread. I know you can rise above discussing the author instead of the ideas, I have seen you do it on occasion.

AND THEN YOUR FINE WORDS, Huck: He's got a college degree. He was a bureacrat for Ronald Reagan. I'm not saying he is ignorant. I'm not saying he is a liberal. I am simply saying his arguments are the same as Phil Donahue's.
