		<description>Re: &quot;Steve. This word was defined long ago, &quot;

Yes.  Defined by the neoConservatives as a buzzword.  Your hero, Rick Santorum was incensed when the Bush Administration tried to move away from the term, to be more specific toward individual terms, such as al Qqeda, a sunni Muslim organization, or Hezbolah, a violent Palistinian group.  They are different.  By lumping them into one, big amorphous term, you, and your NeoConservative may have nice FoxNews sound bites, but you have alienated a large group of the world, upon whom we depend for our oil and alliance in defeating the trrrorist groups, including al Qaeda.

But then, those levels of though are not easy, rush limbaugh labels that can make quick broadcasts, and Republican campaign bumper stickers.

Which is the real objective of NeoConservative invective, isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>What is an &quot;islamofascist&quot;?????  And then you throw in the &quot;conservative&quot; crap again!!!!!  AQ is part of that definition, as are the Maadis, HAMAS, the PLO, Hizbollah, Ansar al Islam, ect.  No &quot;code words&quot; Steve.  This word was defined long ago, though your &quot;thought leaders&quot; and &quot;heros&quot; on the left indoctrinated you into believing the word somehow applied to you and an attack on it was an attack on you.  A pity that you fell for it.

And you might want to look at Clinton&#039;s Library donors before accusing President Bush of anything.  Though as a placation, BOTH major parties are guilty of these ties.

&lt;blockquote&gt;What I have done is make blanket statements about “All Conservatives”. Considering that I am right more than I am wrong in those posts&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Correct: Never.  Wrong: Consistently.  Even more dead wrong:

&lt;blockquote&gt;just stereotype you and make predictions as to how you will respond. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wrong on BOTH counts.  You have been refuted TIME AND AGAIN with your &quot;blanket statements&quot; and your response is more of the same as if telling the same lie repeatedly makes the lie a truth.  The only blind loyalty is yours to the left.

But then, I can easily &quot;just stereotype you and make predictions as to how you will respond.&quot;  I already know how you will and those of us who read your garbage daily do also. 

And here is your fragile persecution complex showing:

&lt;blockquote&gt;You, however, do vehemetly hate me, because I believe that George W. Bush is an incompetent President, and have said so.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wrong again, as usual.  We do not &quot;vehemetly hate&quot; you or hate you at all.  Actually we pity you, your brainwashed parroting state, and your many psychological issues.  I know that &quot;hating&quot; you might give you some vindication in your persecution issues, but we do not.  Laugh at you and pick our jaws off the ground when we realized you actually are a true believer in the garbage you literally copy/paste (with updates as the DNC releases new talking points), and are very angry with your stupid charges against me here and on other threads.  But hate is not there.

Heck, you should have seen the letters I wrote to the RNC when I left the Republicans in 2003 over their lack of resolve in fighting socialism, non-defense related government expansion, ILLEGAL immigrant amnesty, and bowing to the Democrats as fast as possible.  They became, as I cited many times before &quot;democrat lite&quot;.  I do not like nor support the idiotic policies of the left, but both major parties are &quot;left&quot; and &quot;kinda left&quot;.  So congrats Steve, no matter who wins the election, (barring a huge surprise strong 3rd party) a leftist is in power.  You have socialism in slow motion (McCain), or socialism full speed ahead (either Dem).

&lt;blockquote&gt;You have already declared that you “despise” those like me. How is that different?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

From
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/despise

From the definition, I look down upon your projectionism, Party indoctrinated hate (what they teach, though you do not say the word), and &quot;conservatives this/that&quot; lies, and &quot;woes me&quot;/&quot;conservatives get different standards here&quot; B.S. with aversion, scorn and condemnation.  I find them and your attacks worthless and distasteful.  You accused me of wanting to kill you.  I do not, but you crossed another line with that charge.  I find your diatribes disgusting and full of lies, and contemptible.  Your &quot;holier than thou&quot; arrogance is even more disgusting.

But no where in this is &quot;hate&quot;.  I leave that to you and the left &quot;like you&quot;.  One day you will look in a mirror and see it.  Until then, we will have to put up with your arrogance and projectionism.

Interesting as you said &quot;those like me&quot; as that is EXACTLY what Code Pink, ANSWER, ACT, ACORN, Move-On, and other leftists groups fall into.  You said you are not part of them, yet they are &quot;like you&quot;.  They have the same screaming points, same visceral reactions to anyone who does not have a (D) after their name, and same desire to censor/refuse to hear conservatives, even when we act on policies supported by the left.

But as bad as these leftist groups are, I do not hate them.  I save that for the real Islamofascists and others like them who desire to crush civilization and kill/enslave us all.  Unfortunately, they also endorse a leftist for President which leads to even more jaw dropping on our part...

And as a final note:  You comment was caught in the spam filter.  Do not feel bad.  I am logged on as an admin and mine get caught too.  Anyways, IF I did &quot;hate&quot; you, why did I recover it?  Why so the writers here constatly scour the spam filter and rescue your comments even though you spew the same crap over and over?  Something to think on as you look in that mirror.</description>

		<description>Can you document one post Ihave ever made that expressed anything approaching the raw hatred toward anyone (excepting of course Chris Matthews, the most vapid commentator on television)?  Particularly in light of the raw venow that is tossed my way in response to virtually every single post.

What I have done is make blanket statements about &quot;All Conservatives&quot;.  Considering that I am right more than I am wrong in those posts (and, unlike conservatives and their hero, George W. Bush, I can admit to making mistakes), I have no qualms about it.  That does not indiate that I hate you or anyone else.  I just stereotype you and make predictions as to how you will respond.  You, however, do vehemetly hate me, because I believe that George W. Bush is an incompetent President, and have said so.

.

Re: &quot;Are you part of these above leftist organizations?&quot;

Nope.

.

Re: &quot;Do you support the islamofascists we are fighting?&quot;

What is an &quot;Islamofacist&quot;?  That is apparently a code word that Conservatives are supposed to use.

Is that a member of al Qaeda?  Then no.
Is that a member of the Saudi Royal family, who finance Madrass recruiting schools for al Qaeda?  The answer is still no, but for Conservatives you have to be careful about your condemnations there because the Saudi royal Family (at least the higher ups) are all personal family friends of the Bush&#039;s and you cannot criticize them.
Is that a member of the Iraqi government, who have an Islamic consitituion and meet regularly with their friends and mentors in the Iranian govenment?  The answer is still no, but my tax money is being sent to prop them up anyway, and so is yours.

.

Re: &quot;I do not hate you, despite your crossing SEVERAL lines and attacking me repeatedly&quot;

You have already declared that you &quot;despise&quot; those like me.  How is that different?</description>

		<description>Question Steve,

In your hatred and slander of all things &quot;conservative&quot;, why do you think Ann Coulter is my &quot;hero&quot;?  I think I have read more from Kos or Salon than her.

Since the first part of your asinine accusations are wrong, the remainder is incorrect and invalid as a question.  Your question becomes a logical fallacy so often repeated by you.  As I stated before to you, your projection onto us of what you &quot;think&quot; &quot;conservatives&quot; are in a question like asking &quot;Since I *know* you  have been beating your wife; as a wife beater, do you want to beat me too?&quot;.  Since Part A of the question is a lie stated as a fact, Part B of the question does not merit an answer.

As for treason, I would hold Code Pink, their members, supporters, and allies for trial on treason charges as the openly admit to aiding the enemy on their website.  Since that forms a large umbrella of the modern left who seem to rejoice at every setback we face in fending off the barbarians attacking us, it does chafe at our patience with them.  The fact the talking points of the left and the islamofascists mirror each other also is diconcerting.  

Since you have ACCUSED me of wanting to kill you (a capital offense BTW), I feel entitled to ask the following questions.  Are you part of these above leftist organizations?  Do you support the islamofascists we are fighting?  Are you here to spread lies and assist them?  Do you provide material aid to said islamofascists (or any other name you wish to call them)?

And here is the kicker.  You could answer &quot;yes I am all of the above and more&quot; and I could not do a thing to you.

I do not hate you, despite your crossing SEVERAL lines and attacking me repeatedly (and again attacking me with this &quot;would you have me put to death&quot; arrogant stupidity).  For that, I now throw your idiocy back at you ten fold.  I think you are misguided, easily brainwashed, delusional, and a projectionist with a paranoia, TV addiction, and family issues.  You are a programed robot.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Your violent hatred for anyone who is not your political clone is apparent. I have never said I hated anyone here. You, on the other hand, are seething with hate, and make no pretence that you do not hate everyone who is not your political servant. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

This Steve is projectionism.... AGAIN.  It comes back at you and others like you ten fold.  &quot;Violent hatred&quot;?  I do not assault leftists who attack unarmed US Military recruiting stations or shoot us in our driveways.  I do not wish leftists to die even as ANSWERs &quot;peace&quot; protest signs openly state they want me to.  That IS the modern left.  You may try to keep the words &quot;hate&quot; out of your moronicy and regurgitated talking points, but we all see it and have cited it again and again.

You, on the other hand, have allowed your masters to fill you with hate, lies, and bile, as has been cited repeatedly.  But you are a religiously loyal leftist and your above screed is nothing more than the &quot;party truth&quot; your masters feed you and you recite as if you came from a Marxist Madrass.

So, as usual Steve, you are WAAAAYYYYY off base and WRONG AGAIN.</description>

You are a programed robot.</p>
<blockquote><p>Your violent hatred for anyone who is not your political clone is apparent. I have never said I hated anyone here. You, on the other hand, are seething with hate, and make no pretence that you do not hate everyone who is not your political servant. </p></blockquote>
<p>This Steve is projectionism&#8230;. AGAIN.  It comes back at you and others like you ten fold.  &#8220;Violent hatred&#8221;?  I do not assault leftists who attack unarmed US Military recruiting stations or shoot us in our driveways.  I do not wish leftists to die even as ANSWERs &#8220;peace&#8221; protest signs openly state they want me to.  That IS the modern left.  You may try to keep the words &#8220;hate&#8221; out of your moronicy and regurgitated talking points, but we all see it and have cited it again and again.</p>
<p>You, on the other hand, have allowed your masters to fill you with hate, lies, and bile, as has been cited repeatedly.  But you are a religiously loyal leftist and your above screed is nothing more than the &#8220;party truth&#8221; your masters feed you and you recite as if you came from a Marxist Madrass.</p>
<p>So, as usual Steve, you are WAAAAYYYYY off base and WRONG AGAIN.</p>

		<description>The Bush Administration track record on &quot;turning the corner in Iraq&quot; certainly makes them the last ones we should believe.

You can anser this.  How many times have Conservative pundites declared &quot;we are turning the corner in iraq&quot;?

How many times have we been told about the Sadr militias being &quot;taken&quot; or &quot;defeated&quot;?

How many times have we been told about the &quot;great progress&quot; that does not get reported?

Right now the Bush Administratoin and neoConservatives are giving themselves High-Fives because the violence levels in Iraq are ONLY at 2005 levels.  As though that were something about which they shold be proud (another round of medals of Freedom perhaps?)

How about the Donald Rumsfeld pronouncements about &quot;six months&quot; for an occupation.

Or that &quot;Iraqi oil money will pay for the occupation&quot;?

Or the &quot;cakewalk&quot; predictions

Not one single Conservative is willing to hold the Bush Administration acocuntable for the botched occupation of Iraq.  Every single Conservative is required to declare what a &quot;success&quot; the occupation is.  The books &quot;Fiasco&quot; and &quot;Enemy at the Gates&quot; detailed the gross incompetence ofthe Bush Administration after the fall of Saddam&#039;s government.  But every single Conservative, without exception, is required to attack the authors of these books and declare what great things Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell did there.

I repeat my previous comments:  Were a Democratic president to have presided over such a botched occupation, Conservatives would be screaming.  However, since we are talking about Saint George W. Bush, not one single Conservative is permitted to allow that the occupation was anything other than spectacular.  Just as every single Conservative is required to declare that he/she is perfactly satisfied that the Bush Administration has failed to capture the man behind the September 11 2001 attacks, Osama bin Laden.  They are universally required to say how happy they are just knowing that he is living in tents and caves.

Your violent hatred for anyone who is not your political clone is apparent.  I have never said I hated anyone here.  You, on the other hand, are seething with hate, and make no pretence that you do not hate everyone who is not your political servant.  And while other Conservatives dclare that I &quot;hate&quot; people and how wrong it si, ther is not one single Conservative here who willutter even the slightest criticism of your hate.  Not one.  now or ever, because you are a loyal Conservative.

Question ChrisG: Your hero  Ann Coulter has declared that those who hold my political opinion are guilty of treason, a crime punnshable by death.  Since you hate me so much, would you have me put to death for the comments I have made here?

Yes or No?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Until then it is just more Bush Administration spin.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Verses Democratic spin which Steve demands is the &quot;Truth&quot; (as dictated by the Party) and how dare we &quot;conservatives&quot; use different sources than those dictated by Steve and the &quot;Party&quot; or question leftist &quot;Party Truth&quot;.

I reread one of my letters home from Iraq last year.  In it, I stated about the same thing as I discussed my loathing of the left and their lies as I saw reality in Iraq.  Reality that does not fit Steve&#039;s master&#039;s agenda or the leftist &quot;Party Truth&quot; he marches too like a good drone.</description>

		<description>Re: &quot;More about the Sadr militia disbanding. I hadn’t realized that it is the last militia operating.&quot;

This is about the eighth time that a Conservative outlet has told America that we are &quot;Turning the corner in Iraq&quot;.  It is about the fifth time we have &quot;taken&quot; Sadr militia.

When it happens, and whe it lasts more than one Friedman Unit, then I will find it credible.  Until then it is just more Bush Administration spin.</description>

		<description>You mean to say that we have achieved a stable government that can project itws authority over the entire country in Iraq?  After all, that was what the purpose of our occupation was, wasn&#039;t it?  Just being about to control territory by force of arms was not our objective when we launched George W. Bush&#039;s greatest Crusade in Iraq.

If not, when can we expect to see that &quot;success&quot;?</description>

Iraq&#039;s top Shiite religious leaders have told anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr not to disband his Mehdi Army, an al-Sadr spokesman said Monday amid fresh fighting in the militia&#039;s Baghdad strongholds.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki demanded Sunday that the cleric disband his militia, which waged two uprisings against U.S. troops in 2004, or see his supporters barred from public office.

But al-Sadr spokesman Salah al-Obeidi said al-Sadr has consulted with Iraq&#039;s Shiite clerical leadership &quot;and they refused that.&quot; He did not provide details of the talks.
