All of us left wing nut jobs that believe that propaganda. I've worked and lived w/these righties all my life. How can I convince them when Druggie has all the answers that make them feel better. This is partly why the polls look the way that do. We need to gather together bajillions of dollars and buy back the media. Make it left wing like they've been claiming it is for all these years. Better yet, make it truly fair and balanced...socialist. Not dependent on any bottom line.
They aren't conservatives or anything else but weak-minded authoritarian followers. They follow neocon ideas because these ideas have been marketed to them in a way that sounds "strong" and "manly." These are the same kinds of people who were the Hitler Youth beating up Jews, Stalin's NKVD lobotomizing dissidents, and good 50s patriots informing on their "communist" family, friends, and neighbors. If Chim-Chim gets his martial law, they will be our guards in the detention camps.

Thanx icon! I should flatter myself to think that I could write as well or as succinctly as you(and I truly mean that). Now I'm going to go drink heavily and open up a vein.
Please liberals, let's stop this nonsense of saying "neocons aren't real conservatives" or "bushies aren't real conservatives". Yes, they are. This is what conservatism is. They may not represent all conservatives, but the vast bulk are indeed like this. The conservatives got exactly what they wanted when Bush stole his elections, made the presidency a mini-dictatorship, and the conservatives in Congress went along. They can't now say that isn't real conservatism, and liberals shouldn't let them get away with it.

War is hell for everybody, including Christians.
So What Can We do

You think it's difficult for regular Iraqis? Ask about the more than a million CHRISTIANS that lived in Iraq in 2004. WHERE ARE THEY NOW????
This is Bush's dirty little secret.
