When I challenge the statements many of you make I usually get insults, caveman pictures, and so on. That, to me, sounds like a lot of people on Kool-Aid who do not want their personal reality disturbed.
There were plenty of people who predicted the mess that we would be in, but everybody was too hyped up to go kick some ass to listen to anything but the rosy-case scenario. The leaders we currently have in place also have closed minds. As a result we will be unable to learn from our mistakes, and we will continue to do the same thing (or minor variations thereof) and expect different results. That is the definition of insanity.
You call me a liberal - what does that mean to you?
You say that you are conservative. What does that mean, and how does that compare with the people you last voted for?

That's all very interesting, but you've discounted yourself as a poster, so I'm elected not to enter into another discussion with you as time is money.
In addition, you need to recall the old saying "You cannot teach an old dog new tricks" and you are clearly an old dog, an old liberal dog. Normally, I like dogs.
