Hey Portia,
You forgot to add something under the U.N.: Let's accept bribes from Genocidal Dictators and the leaders of the terrorist organizations while we look the other way and publicly criticize their actions.
Posted by: Peter at July 7, 2005 02:26 PMOutstanding contrasts. Leftists will criticize you for not being "nuanced." because nothing is black and white (unless you are getting your @$$ bombed). Three cheers.

Posted by: Mike at July 7, 2005 09:46 PMI don't like the way you are making up phony quotations and putting them in people's mouths to make those you like sound good and those you don't like sound bad. You should use real facts and real information, not phony strawmen.
Posted by: ziggy at July 10, 2005 05:47 PMwas "strawmen" in some kind of memo or something? I keep hearing that tossed around all over the place. I'm just wondering.
as far as strawman, I look at this list, and it isn't a bunch of made-up hooey...it's what people did and said. well, maybe not Springstien.
upon first reading, it looked pretty satirical to me. but as I read it, that's really more of what the character of the people involved would say or do. would you deny that the MM and AC quotes sound like what they would say?
Posted by: MacStansbury at July 10, 2005 10:17 PMYou see, dear Ziggy. There is this thing called satire. And everything, spare the Springsteen thing (I just can't stand him), is either a direct quote or the general worldview of those I'm "quoting."
You libs need a better sense of humor. :) We conservatives have learned to put up with much worse.
Well if that's true then you may as well do the work to find real quotations.
