Could make it really kinky with a Reagan mask, and you three could wear Pelosi, Hillary, and Michelle Obama masks.

OK....this is getting more creepy.

You get to be Hillary, right?

Thanks for those links, GC.

Sigh, how many more times must we see it? Right:Evil. Left:Good.

GC, thanks for those very intresting reads, nice to read a erudite column.

What a shame, I'm sure this kind of thing happens on the liberal side more than I will ever know (Joe Lieberman probably got some of this), but sheesh the nastiness and the threats.

And I thought warmly of Sceagles as he quoted his own conservative hero

Quote:

So, to paraphrase a real conservative, Ronald Reagan: I haven’t left the Republican Party. It left me.

Left:Stupid. Right:Smart.

Oh, wait. I'm not supposed to make generalities like that, no matter how many links I could find to articles from columnists that might assert the same thing. My bad.

Well, it is indeed true that the Republicans are no longer the party of small government or fiscal conservatism or any number of other things. Sad thing is the dems certainly aren't it either.

I keep telling myself as it becomes more and more certain that Obama wins that it took a Carter to get a Reagan. The republicans at present aren't that much different than they were under Ford.

Looking back now - I don't remember things being "this bad" when Carter was around. Granted, I wasn't near old enough to vote or anything but wasn't that a better time then the Bush years?

Will we all be saying it takes a Bush to get an Obama?

Carter had double digit inflation and double digit interest rates, with much, much higher unemployment. Not a great time. Hard to say which was worse. Can't really say which was until this one finishes.

You can knee-jerk all you want, scaeagles ... but I've yet to hear any tales of people shouting "Kill Him" about McCain at a Biden ralley, or of people writing they wish their mothers had aborted them and thrown their fetus-selves into a dumpster about Democrats who happen to endorse the Republican ticket.

Tell me again which side of the polarization constantly wants violence, and then tell me who's good and who's evil. If Stupid is good, I'll pick stupid. But tell me with a straight face that peace is a mode of the stupid and violence a mode of the intelligent. Go on.
