Hey, where is murrymom? Haven't heard a peep outta her in ages.
He KNOWS that he will be ZOTTED, should he post what he REALLY feels, so is being supra-careful.
And...he has NOT engaged anyone in debate; just posted his "feelings" and random thoughts.
"Classes" only exist in those countries that don't know the freedom of America.
Just ask any european they all think Americans are classless buffoons, little did you know they meant something else entirely.
One of the best books to read on conservatism is "The Conservative Mind" by Russell Kirk. He is considered to be one of the fathers of the modern (post 1950) conservative movement. In his book, the political philosophy of Edmund Burke is explained, which forms the core of intellectual conservatism. When I was 22, I voted for George McGovern for President. After working for the government for 6 years (and seeing first hand how in spite of good intentions how screwed up it was), I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and again 1n 1984. I don't know what party I will vote for in 2006. I am very disillusioned by the big spending Republicans right now.
He seems to know his way around and is doing his utmost to not get ZOTTED. This does not bode well, for those who seem to think that we can "change" him!
Zot him then. No sweat off my back.
An interestin' li'l thread o'er 'ere.
Their beer is usually better than mine.
And they have the good pot.
DU doesn't explain why----you're just gone w/o explanation----why should you get one here?
That's not what my husband says. LOL
"Man, you're hella-stupid!"
LOL! I could use your zeal over at this other forum where I've been doing battle:

I haven't been booted yet. And their AM must be going crazy because he hasn't been able to boot me for violating any of their rules. I'm having a blast taking these lefties on.
Agree with the above and would further remark that socialists' and Democrats' entire philosophy is based on greed and envy. It's true that socialism is a parasite which requires capitialism as a host on which to feed, with the usual harmful or fatal results.
I only know one person who admits to being a socialist (retired college professor, of course) and he doesn't really know what socialism is. Also very pro Second Amendment, like this poster. I have quite a few friends and acquaintenances who, while not socialists, are "Democrats," but they don't realize they're voting for socialism when they vote Dem. Or they don't realize what socialism is.
I am 31 years old.
As far as my reading and open mind, I have read a lot of different things from different political views. I do value honesty, and will read anyone who I think is being honest. One example is one of Bernard Goldberg's books. I read it once because I had nothing else to read. But I felt he was honest in the book - he was conservative, but I thought he wrote well and was self-critical and honest.
Honesty works. The Russian Vladimir Posner said Radio Free Europe was effective because it was not all propaganda but was honest. In RFE they said the US did have problems, but was working on them. Meanwhile Posner said Pravda tended to be more towards propaganda and dishonesty. So RFE was appealing.
I think a more honest left-leaning movie is Germinal. There is a scene where the workers confront the mine owner. In many left-leaning movies, the mine owner would be an evil villain, but in Germinal, he wasn't a bad guy, and he wasn't cutting wages to be some greedy guy. I thought this type of honesty was more effective than the cartoon villian you so often see in left-leaning movies.
O.K. So you're here. Read any good books lately? Like "State of Fear" by Crichton?
It was on the Alito confirmation thread. Nothing new.
I don't "make friends" with stinking Commies! :-)
Howdy back at cha. Lots of action here tonight.
