guess I'm a nut that is informed on a lot of things that what I would call moderates are not.

What are you informed about that moderates aren't?

They either don't care or are just to busy to put it all together. Bill Orielly has basically put it together in his book Culture Warrior which I will be throwing tidbits up on this site over the next month or so.

Come on...Bill O'Reilly is a boob. I can't understand how anyone can take him seriously. O'Reilly is just a propaganda man. He promotes bullshit but at least is enough of a comedian to say he's working in the "No Spin Zone" while he spins away. I suppose I can understand being entertained by him but that's because he'll say anything to promote his agenda. Basically the same way the Republicans have boatloads of gay folk in their party but pretend to be against all things gay. It's all a big line of crap just to win votes. Truth be told the Republican leadership including big gay Ken Mehlman prefers gays over Christians...they think the Christians are nuts. I mean you know this, don't you?

And for the record you may be an eloguent writer but I still consider you a left wing kook.

I love it! That may be one of my favorite things you've ever said to me. If I could I'd hug you right now...you're a nut and I'm a kook...two peas in a pod! Better be careful people may start to think we're having a fling! You are a Log Cabin Republican aren't you?

I said listen to Rush for a week and then listen to the evening news and tell me if you notice a slant. He had never heard of Rush and about 2 or 3 months later he said he saw things in a different light. I will tell you his slant was right to begin with but he had no idea what was going and now he does.

Are you really gonna keep using guys like Rush and O'Reilly to make your points? Rush is a wacko and O'Reilly is a first class clown. I mean if you're looking for fun on a Saturday night they are your guys. Rush will get you high and Bill will loofah you up in the shower.

Hey Reg I don't support blind bombing in fact how often are we bombing at all.

So you were against "Shock and Awe"...this again seems to be a reverse of position from you. I guess you missed the fact that we bombed the hell out of Iraq and that the boys from Bushco believe that bombing the shit out of stuff is what works. In fact, here is a couple paragraphs from a recent article about how Bushco is planning to deal with Iran:

-----------------------------------------------------------

The question was whether the Administration expected the Iranians to agree, or was laying the diplomatic groundwork for future military action. In his speech, Bush also talked about “freedom for the Iranian people,” and he added, “Iran’s leaders have a clear choice.” There was an unspoken threat: the U.S. Strategic Command, supported by the Air Force, has been drawing up plans, at the President’s direction, for a major bombing campaign in Iran.

Inside the Pentagon, senior commanders have increasingly challenged the President’s plans, according to active-duty and retired officers and officials. The generals and admirals have told the Administration that the bombing campaign will probably not succeed in destroying Iran’s nuclear program. They have also warned that an attack could lead to serious economic, political, and military consequences for the United States.

A crucial issue in the military’s dissent, the officers said, is the fact that American and European intelligence agencies have not found specific evidence of clandestine activities or hidden facilities; the war planners are not sure what to hit. “The target array in Iran is huge, but it’s amorphous,” a high-ranking general told me. “The question we face is, When does innocent infrastructure evolve into something nefarious?” The high-ranking general added that the military’s experience in Iraq, where intelligence on weapons of mass destruction was deeply flawed, has affected its approach to Iran. “We built this big monster with Iraq, and there was nothing there. This is son of Iraq,” he said.

------------------------------------------------------------
If you support Bushco you certainly support bombing civilian targets because that's how they like to operate.

 And Congress signed over this War Declaration? I do believe Sadaam and Co had ignored U.N. resolutions for years which ultimately brought this on.

 At the risk of getting bashed again for bringing this up, Israel has violated UN resolutions for years and we could care less. In fact Iraq had nowhere near the number of violations Israel has...and I guess the most ridiculous aspect of this whole thing is you bash the UN all the time and seem to think they are a joke but if you can use them to back up Bushco suddenly we need to take those UN resolutions very seriously. The fact is Pat, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. Your side can use the UN if they want to support their illegal activities but otherwise we're supposed to laugh at the UN. That quite simply makes no sense.
