I can respect an arrogant politician who occassionally admits he's wrong. What are the chances of Karl Rove, John McCain, or Linda Graham saying they may have erred? Too many politicians are arrogant and when you point to some flaws in their ideology they suddenly look at you as a rival and assume you're wrong. Nothing else in the world would convince them otherwise.

“It may be that our capacity to export democracy is a lot more limited than we thought,” Gingrich said.

Ya think???

In too many recent wars, the politicians have rushed to secure the peace before the war was actually won and the enemy surrendered.

Thus, they end up negotiating with the enemy and the enemy usually wins that.

Good judgment is the result of experience. Experience is the result of bad judgement.

Neo-cons are all about democracy. Willian Kristol, who coined the term, described neo-cons as Democrats who had wearied of the radical elements in their party during the 1960-70s period. They are the Trotskyite wing of the communist movement.

Trotsky advocated a global, incremental push toward communism, by first instilling democracy, which would naturally morph to socialism, which would naturally morph to full-blown communism. Neo-cons perpetuate the democracy-to-socialism-to-communism scam of Trotsky by their advocation of nation building, global free trade, open borders, amnesty, and on and on.

The neo-con elements in the Republican party are just as much threatened by a republican form of government as are their Leninist comrades in the Democrat party.

In a democracy, minority groups are always persecuted to some extent. You can see this work on smaller scales in our own Constitutional Republic, wherein the more local units of government are true democracy. City and county governments are democracies, while States and Federal governments are supposed to be representative republics. The US Constitution states that the Federal government shall guarantee that each state will have a republican form of government.

This was, by design, to prevent tyranny of the majority. People can move from out of a county or city if they are a persecuted minority much more easily than they can move out of a state or out of a country.

Every country that has fallen prey to the neo-con promise of "democracy" has shortly thereafter devolved into tribal warfare. It doesn't work.

Bipolar Newt.

I really don’t give a flying flip what he thinks today because it will change tomorrow.

Trying to topple and occupy two distant hostile nations requires many, many more US forces than anybody even spoke about.

Consequently we confirmed to radical islam, that they can expect only token politically motivated opposition.

They will have A. and I. back soon.

Led by isolationists from the left and right, we’ll spend money on Detroit, instead of on our military safety.
