You are correct, sir. Accordingly, I shall correct the source of your offense:
Your comments proving, once again, the old adage: you can lead aliberalPopulist to the truth, but you can't make him drink.
The rest stands.
I can live with that label. I'm a live and let live kind of guy though, so libertarian would be closer to the truth. (OK I voted for Bush and I am a Republican - but that doesn't obligate me to support their policies when they do something stupid.)
