Now hold on there, son... there's been a lot of smugness and BS thrown around the nation about "failed neo-con policies" and I look around me and I don't see any failure except failure to adhere to left-wing lunacies. That adds up to successes.

The Left and the Democrats manifestly wouldn't have won the war. Sadly, they haven't the gumption even to try -- or at least they did not for the greater part of the Bush Administration. They are still manifesting the same bad habits nowadays.

Which means the Republicans are back in in 2012 or before -- in the mid-terms -- to try and fix the mess the Dem Party's myopia and irresolution has left.

Any example of so-called failures will boil down to "offends the left-liberals." Offending the left-liberals has a real tendency to benefit the Republic, as the left-liberals are generally economic illiterates and pretty much incapable of correctly identifying a national enemy, for two big reasons I'm not one. Of course, the beneficial effects of offending and marginalizing the hard Left are obvious, and so large as to be almost incalculable.

If I take my time replying to something, it's because I'm giving it thought, and the only difference it makes is I've given you a chance to sneer, and to pooh-pooh, and generally to be shallow, in accordance with the brummagem values so beloved of the left of center. You wanted linked material, and I said okay, fair enough -- and I'm sifting through what I find to filter out the idiot stuff that I wouldn't trust or be swayed by either.
