I just thought it'd be the right time to point out that Australia still wins as far as the most people killed in one sitting by a loony with a gun.

The Democratic Presidential record for the last two generations is pretty hard to argue with, Spexx. Martial victory just isn't in these guys, not since Kennedy, and actual military victory under a Democratic President hasn't happened since Truman's first term.

So if it's important to anybody to destroy undemocratic regimes, it's important to keep Democrats out of the Oval Office and install war winners there instead. Bush isn't getting a lot of credit, but he seems to have laid the proper groundwork, sufficient to The Continuing Crisis.

Yes, he did a wonderful job of laying the groundwork for continuing crisis.

Tuba, I suggest you avoid the politcs and current events fora until you've got your bearings a bit. Homebase and Nothingland are good fun. Mostly.

Hey, no need to play the ace if the two will do it, Griff -- whattaya want already, the Apocalypse? I'm as happy with it as any antitotalitarian person of freedom should be. Shut the Cubans up nicely, as I recall, and that's just how I want them until Raśl dies or leaves office and takes the Bad Religion of Communism with him. He's too old, too set in his ways, and too Third World Despot to pull a Gorbachev/Yel'tsyn and yank the lid right off.

Actually, that was the last time the Republicans won a war. The previous being the time they took down the Republic for good or ill.

I dunno; I keep seeing Republican Presidents thinking at least somewhat Libertarian. Reagan, despite his measure of statism, does come to mind. The Donkey Party? Not even close. Tens of lightyears out.

Cuba is down there at the bottom of the list below abortion and faggots as far as things that actually affect my life so much I need to complain about it.

I have no idea how these distant and nebulous concepts inspire so many blowhards.

WOW. Nice disgusting language. I hope you were referring to cigarettes.

No sorry, I dearly hope to see equal rights for all of Dorothy's friends in my lifetime.

I was lampooning the ridiculous right. I will stop now. And gather a bundle of sticks to use for kindling.
