After you have built your house, does the first wall erected disdain the last wall to be put up? Where would your home be without all four walls? Do you really want nothing between you and, say, Alaska?

While your analogy is very poetic it might fit better in another situation. I see this more akin to a bunch of guys hanging out watching the game and arguing about whether to order Chinese take out or Pizza. Eventually all but two of the guys decide on Pizza and go ahead and order it. After some time passes the two guys who hadn't cast their votes chime in with their preference. It doesn't really matter if they wanted Chinese or Pizza because the pizza delivery guy is pulling into the driveway.

The word springing immediately to my mind is "footdragging." I've been quite pleased over the last seven years with how the Federal level of government has largely confined its central effort to foreign policy -- this outward concentration has minimized any tendency to meddle with the nation in the manner so characteristic of the Clinton Administration. That's how I prefer things to go in our Republic.

I never lie on this or any other forum or in person. I realize you know absolutely nothing about being a libertarian, and it's got to be disappointing that a war monger lost, and you think America's military is here to start unprovoked wars against other nations that pose no harm to ours, but today the better man and the more libertarian man won.

Now we can get to work ending the unconstitutional, unwarranted, unreasonable, and unlibertarian war in Iraq as quickly as possible.

Sorry, Radar, but the evidence goes against your word. I'll take the evidence, thanks, over your narcissistic disorder. There is no libertarian in Obama's makeup, unless he's been cozening the socialist base the whole campaign.

The crushing of ultrastatism is a necessary thing, Radar, to any man of freedom. It is not necessary to you.

Whatever psycho. Facts, truth, history, and reason are all on my side. You've got nothing on your side but your psychosis, and stupidity.

Aha. Defeated by history and truth, you leap instanter to namecalling, like that'd prove diddly. Typical of your "thinking," and why you don't have friends, Paul. The merest prick to your exaggerated amour-propre, and bang! like a balloon.

Whatever psychos! You're both defeated by the awesome rainbow shit of Obama. So shut up and hug because we're succeeding in putting the racist history we have behind us.

I agree, there can be no more excuses, no more race cards. Let's move forward as one.

I agree with Merc. The silver lining immediately visible is that the race-hustlers' "Myth of the Hobbled Black" is now exploded, even if the fragments haven't hit the ground yet.

Race-hustlers were the kind of people Ken Hamblin used to give a pasting to, particularly in his books.

I'm happy the race thing is behind us, and I'm happy the most libertarian candidate won.
