I agree 100% that this is an internet debate, and believe me, I don't lose sleep over it. Still, I'll repeat, it seems you are only open to bashing conservatives when I can point to as many fuck ups in liberal administrations. A balanced view is all I'm looking for.

And no, I am NOT a Republican or even necessarily a conservative. I am a centrist leaning towards libertarian who was for many years a registered Democrat. I voted for Reagan, I voted for Clinton (shit, I even met the man) and yes, I voted for Gore (to my chagrin).

Yes, all the past happened and shouldn't be ignored, but to use it as a gauge of American foriegn policy today is still foolish IMO. I mean, I don't quote Roosevelt (either one) nor do I talk about the Repulicans being great because the freed the slaves, or the imperialistic tendencies of America as demonstated in the Spanish-American war.

And looking back, I can't see that I broke my own rules, or at least not very much. But you seem to think that you can jump on my shit and I won't call you on it. If you recall, you started on me with the whole "sarcastic comment" business, and even though I bit my tongue the last time we went round, you had to jump on me in this thread. Well, I'm sorry, but if you are saying one thing, but doing another, expect to be called on it.
