If Bush showed some balls, the media couldn't touch him. But he doesn't. And his pussy father shamed his family when he went ahead with a Bush Award for Public Service to Ted Kennedy TWO DAYS after Kennedy called his son--the President--a "liar" on the Senate floor. HE gave him the medal anyway! What absolute fools the Bushes are. They love their enemies and their enemies shit all over them. All they seem to care about is having people like them. Reagan couldn't give two shits about what the media and elites thought about him. All he cared about was the PEOPLE. Bush has made a huge error kowtowing to the evil elites for 5 years. He just seems weak, and Americans don't respect weakness, and the media viper feed on it like piranhas.
Invading Iraq was not a mistake. Acting like pussies once we got there was a huge mistake. Had we killed another 250,000 Iraqi civilians and eliminated Tikrit and Fallujah from this Earth, killed Al Sadr and hundreds of others (MacArthur hung 950 Japanese agitators in a relatively tame occupied Japan), stuffed ham into the mouths of every killed insurgent and burned their bodies, forgot about stupid elections until every ounce of resistance was brutally crushed, we would have no problems there right now whatsoever. Where the hell is the rage we all felt on 9/11? Who gives a shit about Arab democracy (as if there ever could be such a thing)? We wanted vengeance and we got Realpolitik instead.
I have decided that cats are social conservatives (individualists), but fiscal liberals (what's theirs is theirs and what's yours is theirs).
Agreed. Well put.
"It is class warfare rhetoric."
You have mistaken it for class warfare rhetoric, and then closed your mind on that error. If you knew Stein, you'd know better.
"You obviously don't have a clue about free market capitalism."
And you obviously don't have a clue about not being an obnoxious jerk. My initial reaction was to respond to each of your erroneous points. Upon reflection, I don't care to discuss this or anything else with someone who behaves as badly as you. You can post me again when you grow up and get some manners.

(HeeHeeHee!) Well said! And *that* saying's a Keeper!
I must confess I forgot to give credit for that. It is a statement made by a character in a Louis L'amour short story. The character was Chick Bowdrie, Texas Ranger.
Reminder bump - way past time to fix media's wagon. ;-)
I have to disagree! GW isn't trying to be liked by being nice to his enemies. He just isn't giving into the same hate that they are throwing at him. The man has class. I also don't see him as weak, but he is one of the strongest leaders I have every seen. A weak person would never have kept focused on the WOT but would have "cut and ran". All while he has been under constant assault, not just from liberals but also increasingly from the his own party.
To be hated as much as he is and to not hate back says alot about his character. Most people could not handle it.
I don't think there was any "class" in H.W. Bush going ahead with the "public service" award for Ted Kennedy two days after the creep called his son--the President--a "liar" on the floor of the Senate, something which had not been done in anyone's memory. Character involves courage. The courageous move would have been for H.W. to tell Ted not to bother making the trip.
Well, to me, the situation is a little more complicated than your solution would dictate.
We are?
It was a huge mistake,
Really Mr. Stein? Have you consulted the ordinary Iraqi about that? Have you asked any Kurds?
