I have been accused of some rather odd things as well on FR for not following the worship-line. Among the more colorful things one unbalanced individual said to me were that (1) Clinton was my "god" and then that (2) I had obviously voted libertarian; there are some individuals who are very quick to flame for the oddest reasons. I often wonder how many of them are drunk at the time of posting.

Yeah, who knows. I'm learning more and more everyday whom the unstable/challenged ones are and choose to forgive them and move on. Life's too short and FR has brought a little fun back to politics and patriotism for me. Thanks for the comments.

It is a shame, however, to see a senior republican have something innocuous he said interpreted maliciously in the worst possible of many contexts by the media and then that used as a club to take him down. His 1980 comments were in the context of current events like with Carter, Iran, inflation, canal treaties, etc, for goodness sakes!

It obviously wasn't innocuous enough, in context with his previous assertion of same, along with the facts that he, being a southern (Mississippi), high profile politician, to rise above the appearance of impropriety. He had no political cache of support left in too many corners on the right to be spent on him. I personally believe the case can be easily made (and has been all over FR lately) that Duncehead is not worthy of leading a new, thriving GOP Senate Majority and doesn't deserve the opportunity to allow the conservative agenda to be co-mingled with RAT leadership again. Yes, I understand where you are coming from, but this is, IMO, the very best thing that could have happened and at the very most opportune time. Lott is, IMO, a GOP disaster waiting to happen and it appears he has taken himself out from his sheer obliviousness to what he says. This only happened because of what he says and how poorly he then handled it. And it doesn't sadden me one bit, because, again, IMO, he has drastically improved the opportunities for conservatives in the future. Lott's because problem is himself and his focus on himself. He has no balls to do the right thing, dam* the consequences. Just do the right thing for America, not just for self or just for the party.

Just do the right thing for America, not just for self or just for the party.

I don't see it as being the "right thing for America" for a good man to be placed on a skewer and roasted for committing a thought crime, and least good is that the "conservatives" on this forum are participating in the "auto de fe".

I'll say this for the Democrats, at least they stand by their man. Lott's "thought crime" is nothing compared to Clinton's real crime and from this site, of all places, the worst of motives are imputed to him. Woe to any Pubbie who brings upon himself the scorn of the politically correct as you will have not friends here.

Regards.
