I've listened to you leftwing nutjobs wishing for the US to fall for over a year now.

It's disgusting.

What's disgusting is the conservative wingnuts hollowing the country from the inside out -

kill civil liberties,
kill science in education and policy making,
divide the people with petty cultural issues,
instill xenophobia,
nurture irrational fear along ideological lines,
cheering for 'dirty politics' as acceptable means to an end

- that's disgusting.

Interesting, Ax - you just listed off several of the problems that come from the Left, not the Right.

Kill civil liberties? It must be that liberal Patriot Act that you're talking about.

Kill science in education? I'm sure it was the liberals supporting "intelligent design" and creationism in the schools, and cutting science funding.

Instill xenophobia? Yeah, it's the liberals who want fences on the border and reduced immigration. (Which I support, btw.)

The others can be attributed to both sides, I'd guess, but Ax's list applies completely to the conservative side of the aisle.
It would be unwise to underestimate what large groups of ill-informed people acting together can achieve. -- John D'Oh, January 14, 2010.

What everyone seems to be missing is that George W Bush isn't a conservative.

Thank you, John. A number of us have been saying that for years.

So are we to assume you were a McCain supporter in the run up to the 2000 Republican Convention?

I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was a Buchanan supporter.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

You mean that isolationist loud mouth that received just under a half million votes or .04% of the popular vote in 2000?

Of course, we're both Zonies, and at a cocktail party where I met him he gave me a very sage piece of political wisdom: "never be photographed with a drink in your hand".

He must learned that from Peter Lougheed. The premier told me the very same thing during a government reception and dinner for Mikhail Gorbachev and his agriculture delegation back in the early 80's.

This was in the early 80s as well. Maybe they both subscribed to the same newsletter.

Either that or Lougheed mentored McCain.

Oh, I guess you were talking about Buchanan. Is he actual in the prelature? What's his status? I always though he was just a trad Catholic.
