I don't recall those who profess to be conservative ever accusing their liberal brethern of possessing the same traits. Cannot you accept the fact that people who do not agree with you, are not psychotic, insane, idiotic, or unbalanced because they do not agree with your thinking?


Dougie:

I think you are exercising selective recall on the first point. Perhaps you have bever read those like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaiugh who turned the word "liberal" from meaning "believing in reciprocal freedom" to "pinko wussy loser commie faggot...." or the like?

Second of all I know I have often referred to Mister Bush as psycho, but I have no problem with people disagreeing with me if they are willing to satte clearly and factually what they see. I have had hundreds of conversations with people of good will in these threads where we ended up agreeing to disagree.

Bush, individually and institutionally, has messed up the things I love most about this country, has perpetrated violence on others without regret, cannot conceive of doing wrong, is proud of his illiteracy, believes he is empowered by God to rule, and has undermined the economic strength and good repute of the nation. I think those things alone would qualify him as a deluded, destructive person who pretends his destructiveness is actually good. That's why I refer to him as a psycho -- because of the covert destruction he has wrought.
