So let's see... Hussein was the cheating whore... the Iraqis denied it and the US of A did the fucking/liberating? Is that the comparison you are making?
Ummmmm... did my friend fuck her in the ass without lube when he liberated me? Perhaps then yes, I am grateful.
Sorry... getting lost on your comparison.

I threw in my  . Carry on friend. |
Wasn't arguing at all. I appreciate people that debate as you did.
Your 2cents were appreciated. Thx.

Well, I was going to argue against being a neo-con, but honestly, I believe you meant it as an insult and I refuse to take it that way. The true definition of neo-con is basically a liberal that has either moved to the right or switched completely. They are not hard-core right wingers. Well, I have never felt fully Liberal in the slightest so moving right would make me totally conservative. I consider myself a moderate-conservative.
However, Cheney, Wolfowicz, perhaps even Bush are labeled as neo-cons (the first two at least) and I would not liken myself to them. I would say they are very conservative in comparison to me.
I support Choice on the abortion issue. Know what Rush say's that makes me? Spineless and indecisive!!!
I have not lost touch with reality as reality is perception. Your perception is different than mine, nothing more.
I don't worship at the foot of Bush and freely admit he made mistakes, as did those working for him and around him (congress anyone??). Do I lay the last 8 years completely at his feet? Nah. He's the President, nothing more. When it all goes great, who gets credit for your personal fame, fortune and wisdom? You of course. When it all goes to shit, who gets it? Well the man at the top. Must have been Bush's fault.
BTW... I don't hear anyone patting him on the back for the economic boom that everyone in this industry enjoyed from what.... 02-05ish?? perhaps 06.. still going now just not as crazy strong as before?? Oh yeah... he fucked everyone over and that's why we are in the mess with the economy the way it is, right? Gotta blame someone, why not him?
Not sure... but I do seem to recall this shitstorm that hit right around September of 01 where everyone was fearing that the economy was going to go to hell more than it already was due to some planes crashing into buildings. Not going to discuss that one at all, but it would seem to me that that administration did some things right to move the economy forward and made lots of people some pretty serious money (even prior to the housing bubble that has helped to create our current situation).... Point for the GWB good/bad guys??? LOL Probably not. I think Clinton was in on it and Obama was just beginning to try on his big boy pants... so lets give it to them, shall we? LMAO
Nothing in my original post was more than about why are we supporting or doing anything for countries/citizens of countries that show no respect for any of the support/finances/protection/what-have-you we have/are providing them? I didn't jump up and say... Praise GWB!!!! Not even close. If you can tell me why we dump money into these places just so they can tell us to fuck off.... be my guest. Calling me a delusional neo-con doesn't achieve that.
Sure makes for great GFY drama though
