Allow me to add another reason for your fall from grace. You tolerate conservative counter opinion far better than most other “Lefty” sites. The fact that you haven’t been subject to the inquisition and burned alive still amazes me. Keep up the good work. Oh, and if they ever come for the burning thing, I drink a lot of beer so I’ll help put out the flames.

We are in complete agreement, for the very same reason on the legalized marijuana issue. What may surprise you is that most of my friends with ruby-hued necks are right there also. I would venture that the great majority of today’s angry conservatives are not from the religious branch. For every person that complains about stem cell this, and abortion that, I hear 9 folks upset about mind boggling spending and government encroachment on personal liberty. I suspect there is more common ground than the intertubes would lead one to believe.

I think there is an issue with the definitions of peoples political leanings. There are folks like you and Alan Colmes, among others, who call themselves liberals, and dip to the left a bit of the Classical Liberalism model, where you believe in tough national security, limited government intervention in our lives, but do lean more towards more government programs. It is not quite the Socialist Democratic model (in this case, Socialist is not really a bad word, per se, it just means that a person believes in more government intervention in the Economic Core.) Then there are the hard edged progressives, who want massive federal government control in the Moral and Economic Cores of Democratic government. It’s what Jonah Goldberg called “nice fascism.”

Now, bring on the $$$ p0rn! I have been tempted to have another blog. Heck, one or two link posts a day along with one or two picture posts (nothing more then R rated,) could make some money.

Anyone on either side that thinks that a political party has all the answers is not living in reality.

Have a great day!

I have a major nit to pick with your statement. There is a profound difference between the GOP and us conservatives. Beyond that, I stand by my right-wing motto: Often wrong, but never in doubt.
