I only take ex...Once again, thanks for the linkage. I only take exception to a couple of things in this post. One is that I'm no partisan. I've said numerous times that the democratic party is the one I hate the least of the two. At one point a very long time ago I may have considered myself a democrat (though I gave that up even before my year-long stint working at the DNC), but they've let me down way too many times (and working at the DNC during election 2000 really cemented that for me).<BR/><BR/>Secondly, do you even take yourself seriously when you paint the entirety of the left as being anti-semitic? I know you are very personally and emotionally involved in the Israel/Palestine conflict issue and I think that that has severely clouded your logic and judgment on it, and only rational minds are going to be able to stop the killing on both sides.<BR/><BR/>As for my post, I know my post about Falwell wasn't particularly nice. Sometimes I go out on a limb to be provocative, but this one came quite naturally. If there's ever been a corpse that deserved a kick to the head, it's Falwell. If any of that Bible stuff is true, Jesus is breaking his foot off in Jerry's ass as we speak for all of the wack shit he's done in his name.<BR/><BR/>OK, one last thing... is wanting to get out of a war we have no business being in really isolationism? I don't see any other examples of anything to suggest that. I don't hear anybody in either party saying we need to get out of Afghanistan. But I'm hearing a lot of talk of isolationism blowing out of the right wing echo chamber. Despite being a republican activist, you seem smart enough to rise above that kind of bullshit. I guess it's a matter of which is more important to you, your party or honesty.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.com
