@Setanta,
Set, glad you appreciated the sentiment.
I loathed Richard Nixon, Set…but there was a point in proceedings where I realized that the liberals of the 1970’s were in a feeding frenzy…and that ideology had become more of a driving force in what was happening than principle.
During the impeachment of Bill Clinton…I think most intelligent people realized that ideology had become more of a driving force among Republicans than principle.
Nixon, whether I agreed with his focus or not, was leading the country; Clinton was leading the country. Sure ideology was in play…I wouldn’t have it any other way. But the ideology at least seemed focused on competence"on leadership…with ideology being a secondary consideration.
But with George Bush and Darth Cheney…with the incompetence of this administration…the ideology became primary…and became putrid"and filthy sore oozing pus onto our nation.
Any of these people still backing these miscreants…have allowed ideology to usurp not only love of country…but also love of humanity in general.
I have no respect for them at all…and I’m glad to see that you don’t have much either.
Much as I have hated this in other people at other times and under other circumstances…much as I considered those people petty…I am reveling in extreme conservative America’s pain right now. I hope it saturates their lives for a very, very long time.
There are lots of people I love who are conservatives…but if they are of the ilk posting here…I hope they suffer the agonies of the damned.
