Have a cow, man.

Mmm, tasty that. Was it grass-fed?

Can you be right when you're left, V? I'm right. I'm also libertarian, of the right-lib description. I've said that often, and tried to show it.

So, with just the merest touch of regret, request denied. You Jackass Party types are losing big, and you know it, and I know you know it. When the Party Of No Values is brought to account, how painful it is for you.

I would have loved to had the chance to see that. But I would have wanted to see the original version. I am not sure the off Broadway one would have been as good.

I saw it off Broadway and found it hilarious. You might be taking your chances but there is a lot of talent in the world.

I miss the way our country was in late fall of 2001. We were united. People showed patriotism and meant it.

That was in spite of bush (in many cases), not because of.

They also showed a lot of hatred, intolerance, racism, stupidity and bigotry and meant it. (I probably missed a few, but you get the drift). However, I'm sure the armed forces were suddenly appreciated a whole lot more and that has faded now

I think most people barely knew who he was or what he was about since he had really only been in office 9 months.

True. I should have payed more attention to the date specified.

Still had nothing to do with Bush.

Bush certainly squandered that quite spectacularly, when he invaded Iraq and tried to equate support for that to patriotism.

I strongly support Operation Iraqi Freedom. I think it was an excellent strategic move to force AQ to fight in Southwest Asia instead of being able to choose their own battleground, such as the US.

We managed to sort of create and sort of defeat Al Qaeda In Iraq, I suppose, but Al Qaeda Everywhere Else was just fine. It wasn't a flypaper strategy; it was a hunk of rotting meat strategy. Rotting meat certainly attracts flies, but more than that it allows them to breed.

You might as well build a filthy hospital to attract all of the germs from the other hospitals.

AQI and ISI siphoned manpower and funding from AQ thus depriving them of the means to successfully conduct attacks on our soil.

Attracting some flies into a newly created fly breeding ground doesn't diminish the number of flies, even if you swat some.
