Nice. Swiped for future (personal) use.

You liberals never saw a vicious regime you didn’t like: Soviet Russia, Mao’s China, Ho Chi Minh’s Vietname, Fidel Castro’s Cuba all came in for praise from leftists.

Again, this makes sense if you think of anything friendlier than a preemptive nuclear attack as “praise”.

When in god’s name did conservatives start trying to pretend they were mankind’s best hope for anti-authoritarian democracy?

Just pretend for a moment that businesses are human beings and human beings are delicious shrimp cocktails. With that perspective, policies that we’ve always thought of as necessary regulation for the public interest become transformed into “Oh Noes! Teh ebil Nanny State iz takin’ away r shrimpz!”

Oh, & what brutal damage it is! This cunning plan is already bearing a rich harvest, too. The poor Dems may win by LESS than 180 seats – yes, that tactic is certainly a key to getting McCain solidly into 2nd – unless Barr comes up the middle, I mean.

Aren’t you glad you can’t hear “people from November 5″ laughing at you – yet?

i.e. Conservatives don’t want to pay for government services, they want to be given them as their due. See “freeloader”.

2) Conservatives believe in free trade.

Demonstrably false, as large government corporate subsidies still exist after years of conservative rule. “Free Trade” means getting the other guys to drop their subsidies.

3) Conservatives believe in vigorous national defense.

Psst – when you invade random middle east countries, that’s not defense, that’s offense. If that is considered defense, I’d like to hear the conservative plan for defeating the rest of the planet.

4) Conservatives believe in treating people as individuals, not as members of a tribe or class.

So conservatives are objectively anti-civilization. I’d long suspected same, but it nice to hear it confirmed so clearly.

Look, liberals, on November 5 you are going to want to know what went wrong. You will want to know why President McCain was elected. I’m telling you now, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Hello everyone from November 5! I linked here three months ago – greetings from your delusional past.

Carry on.

So, after the war, the Allies punished the Vichy French by … giving Vietnam back to the French.

Is this new to you, Troof? Are you scratching your head and wondering what the Japanese have to do with World War II? I’ve noticed that the subtleties of history are confusing to conservatives, precluding any meaningful or useful analysis.

Also: Ho-Ho-Ho-Chi-Minh! Viva Fidel! Long live the revolution!

You liberals never saw a vicious regime you didn’t like: Soviet Russia, Mao’s China, Ho Chi Minh’s Vietname, Fidel Castro’s Cuba all came in for praise from leftists.

You got some kind of evidence that anybody here has been praising these regimes? Or is a bunch of leftover straw man mush from Rush Limbaugh’s table all you got … for any of your issues?

Please, Troof. If any conservative anywhere has anything real or substantial or relevant to throw into the national debate, it is way past time to pony up.

I like that you liberals cling bitterly to your high taxes, protectionism, and identity politics. I like even more that you can’t see how this is killing you in an election year that (at least you claim) should be a slam dunk for you.

You liberals never saw a vicious regime you didn’t like: Soviet Russia, Mao’s China, Ho Chi Minh’s Vietname, Fidel Castro’s Cuba all came in for praise from leftists. And why? Because these leftist leaders had the power to enforce their horrific vision of collectivism, and did so, brutually suppressing all opposition. Do you really think you can pretend that the Bush Administration and the US are the same? That’s somewhat rhetorical, because I know you do, but it ain’t working, children, putside of your groupthink college campuses.

I’m pleased to see liberals here in their true colors, sticking up for affirmative action: legalized discrimination! I laugh when I read your comments like “The Rev Wright affair didn’t stick to Obama”. And I pine for the lack of teh funny (I’d settle for teh wit at this point).
