It sure is a pleasure to spend some time with open-minded, reasonable folks.
You have enlightened me.
I am ashamed to have spent so much of my life lost in the vast wasteland of moderate, realistic contemplation.
There is no longer any doubt in my mind that only American Republicans or Democrats have any worthwhile answers in this troubled world.
I am now burning all other viewpoints and philosophies in my possession, and will soon be getting down off this convenient (albeit uncomfortable) fence of reason, so I may choose my righteous leaders in good and clear conscience. |

Rob Crawford... are you responding on behalf of Republicans running from their platforms, or Democrats running after one?
Either way, I'll consider your suggestion.
Ms. Wife,
I believe lying may be justified for storytelling, but taqiyya is not simple lying.
My life has never depended upon having to lie, so perhaps denying one's deeply held convictions to buy a bit more time here on earth, would be justifiable.
Denying your political convictions to get re-elected, although frequently practiced, is never justified.
On the other hand, simple lying is probably really important in certain personal relationships.
Oh, yeah, and in resumes.

The United States "a continual force for good?"
I love this country to my bones, but c'mon, "a continual force for good?"
No human being, no culture, no nation, is a continual force for anything. Oh, we try as we might, but we screw up on a regular basis, often over and over again.
"American malaise" is certainly evocative, but then, Carter was just being realistic.
As to our faults; hell, yeah, we have 'em, and you ironically named some of them. Am I ashamed to admit these and other faults are real? Hell, no.
Unless, of course, we decide to ignore them and play that old childhood game of, "But, what about him?"
I'm not on the progressive Left, or the neocon Right, but somewhere in the reasoned middle. Let me tell you, this a one helluva lonely place to be these days. |

In the tradition of taqiyya, I'd like to suggest America's own version of dissimulation for 2006:
"Republican."
Although, really, is there any difference between them and the blue team? |
