That's it! Thanks! (I love that this is such a smart place.)

I am offended because if I were a liberal, this blind squirrel talk would not be tolerated. hmph!

:)

If you were liberal, the squirrel would have better health care and perhaps not be blind.

Damn conservatives dumping chemicals into the environment caused a genetic defect in the poor squirrel, I'm sure.

Sometime scaeagles, and I'm being entirely serious here, I'd like it if you'd remind me why exactly it is you are a Conservative, and what Conservative principles appeal to you personally.


For instance, is it not a Conservative principle that markets should be as free as possible, with little or no regulation? And yet won't free markets take whatever shortcuts are necessary, including poisoning the environment affecting everyone (shareholders and squirrels included), with little or no regulation?

Do Conservatives support checks and balances on corporate and business activity? On government activity? Do you support such things?


With all the generalizations being bandied about, I'm genuinely confused.

I will respond to this, ISM....just might take a little longer than I can do at work.

It's also my youngest's 7th birthday today! So I'm not sure if it will be this evening either.

Please remind me if this gets lost somewhere.

Sure. And Happy Birthday to your youngest! BTW, age 7 is when personality becomes completely fixed and you as a parent cease having any influence. Your job is done! (Well, except for the money that will continue to flow for 20 more years.)

If that's the case, my 7 year old is going to be a great person because her personality ROCKS! Unofficially the most fun of my children.

I believe that is the same person. If so, then her assertion that McCain and Obama could not do as she did counts as a glowing endorsement of both, in my book. I was surprised when I saw her in his pack.

Happy Birthday to your baby girl, Scaeagles!:snap::babette::snap:
