Setting aside differences on social and economic issues between liberals
and
conservatives, I believe there is a fundamental difference in their
respective styles of governance.

It seems to me that conservatives govern using instinct, belief and
faith in
one's own actions. Liberals govern using history, precedent and usually
have
a better comprehension of geopolitical affairs.


Any evidence to butress your rather ill-informed claim? "Liberals
govern using history and precedent?" Uh, son, those are the two
guiding principles of modern day conservatism -- the very two things
we often get accused of relying too heavily upon.

How's the weather in Bizzaro world, btw?

Que?

Extending my argument, doesn't it worry you that the most powerful man in
the world, albeit the one who quite literally has his finger on the button,
is a person who has denounced evolution is favor of creationism?

And then he calls Rush Limbaugh 'a great American'. A man, steeped in his
own hypocrisy about treating drug offenders, but someone who offers blurs
the lines between conservatism and hate. Here's a man who once said that
United States should convert all the jihad fighters. Yep, I'm sure
converting these terrorists to Christianity will magically make them good
people with warm hearts.

And then you claim to have the sagacity and definitely the audacity to tell
me that contemporary conservatism is based on history and precedent? What
precedent was set in Iraq? Did they attack us? Did they aid and abet Osama
and 9/11 perpetrators?

If your compassionate conservatives were really that altrusitic, then we
would not have heard of the likes of Augusto Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, Pol
Pot, Noriega, Osama Bin Laden or the Shah of Iran. Ever heard of the Savak?
Read up about it sometime, jimjams. It was the Shah of Iran's secret police.
But you never read about their torture chambers or rape rooms. Why? Well, I
suppose the fact that he had American support might have something to do
with it.

Look, I'm the last one to say that all Democrats are good. As far as I'm
concerned, politics is a dirty business and politicians are a dirty lot. But
Republicans are certainly no saints. It's just a shame that most
conservatives are too egotistical to ever concede that.
