Walter Hinteler:

I did not mean to imply that you were a militaristic conservative.

Did you not tell us that you were from the Prussia section of Germany?

If I am mistaken, I apologize.

Dear Hobitbob:

I believe that the Zogby family has an Arabic heritage.

If I am wrong, I stand corrected.

The famous Helen Thomas of the press corps has a lebanese heritage, does she not?

I must confess to being guilty of linking some people's prejudices to their ethnic backgrounds.

Perhaps I am mistaken.

But, again--what is Zogby's ethnic background???

This is the most completely and amazingly bigoted line of reasoning I've seen from anyone on A2K in the short time I''ve been here. Shocked

Anyone else remember the pundits theorizing -- in the aftermath of the 2000 Republican convention -- that Bush chose the semi-geriatric Cheney as a running-mate because Cheney could be counted on to step aside in 2008 and let Jeb take his turn in the White House?

I can't remember having told you anything privat.

Since 1945, we don't have Prussia anymore in Germany.

ad 3
We don't have sections in Germany, but states.

Italgato, do you mean to say that you will apologize if you find out you mistakenly chose the wrong ethnic slur?

I have become quite concerned with the apparent desire of the Bush clan to become a ruling dynasty. The concept of "rule by those bred to it" went out in the aftermath of WWI. I don't wish to see it return. This is the very same reason I would be leery of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

In Vanity Fair last year, a feature on the Chelster implied that that was where she saw her future. I hope it doesn't happen. I think the Bush presidency is one of many bad precedents that have been set in the last decade (the Clinton Impeachment and surrounding "get him at all costs" mentality, the redistricting shuffles in many states, including Colorado's (the CO. Supreme Court is hearing the case today!), the recall fiasco in CA, to name a few).

I just found a nice quote from you, Italgato, on another thread, where you showed your good education and denounced some typos :
Quote:
When such errors are made, one has to wonder about the depth of the reasoning offered by the contributor!!!!!


Besides those earlier mentioned wrong facts, you're obviously not very good in your mother tongue's grammar: "Prussian section" it should be.

Reminds me of the halfhearted apologies of a well known politician of my country which he uses after insulting his opponents.

Few people have faces as patently absurd as Bush's. He really looks like a jerk, doesn't he! Piggy little eyes, Christian Broadcasting Network haircut, feminine jaw, prissy mouth -- all gloriously framed by sticky-outy ears. Definitely worse than Clinton's thighs.
