I don't work for you, and have no responsibility to repeat for you the list that I posted here the last time you asked. Go look if you want to find it. |

You must admit it would be useful in the context of this discussion. |

I agree, reference to what I have written previously ... on more than one occasion, and at least once in response to a request by IT ... would be useful. However, I don't have it saved in a Word document, and I don't wish to search for it or recreate it yet again, when it's obvious that IT didn't pay attention the last time he asked. |

I disagree with your opinion regarding the relative merits of two parties. You are unstinting in your condemnation of Democrats, much less so in your defence of the Republicans. If I didn't know better, I'd suspect you had shares in the GOP. This isn't about the differences between 'conservatism' and 'liberalism', it's about the actual people people running your two major parties. With a few exceptions, they're bloody awful. So my view is cartoonish. Maybe there's a reason. The last election was like a very, very, very long, bad cartoon, or more accurately a badly written melodrama. 'Aging, war hero with heart of gold, with plucky young country-girl made good competes with messianic figure, righting the wrongs of 400 years of oppression.' Give me a f*cking break - it's a sodding soap opera. Sadly, 'That's All Folks' just means 'See you in a couple of years'. |

What disagreement about the relative merits are you talking about? I left the opposition party position open for liberals/leftists/Democrats to speak for themselves. Quirt got all snippy about "Well hell, who's against that?". I would expect that no one is against promoting the over all well being of the society and all its members, but I will leave it to the Left to construct their own thoughts about that in language and patterns of thought that are typical to their way of thinking.
You just haven't been paying attention. I am not a republican. If I saw the democrats holding out something that looked like a common good platform (where the role of the government was more limited to providing for the common good and the accommodation of public goods) instead of redistributing private goods through taxation and entitlement programs, and had some consistent legal ethic that protected innocent human beings before birth-- much like the Democrats were before 1968 -- I'd be all in favor of them. I come from historically Democrat, union, Catholic east coast families from both my parents. |

Nope. Given that you didn't pay attention last time, I don't plan to spin my wheels every time you get a thought in your head. |

I think we need a good fight around here. Too much pent up hostility. Larry needs to get well fast.

You spin your wheels often enough to take snipes at what I write -- I suppose that is far easier for you than actually having an original thought, and less risky than putting an original idea out there for consideration. |
