Max,

Firstly, I thought I was the most liberal. I'm insulted. :-)

Secondly, Doug hardly ever insults anyone, and certainly never insults
people with the vitrol of many, many others.

Is it possible that something on a "far left" website could be correct?

The current administration is filled with corrupt officials. Same goes with
Congress. Many are Republicans and many are Democrats.

There's a big difference between a conservative and a neocon.

I don't recall many instances of Doug attacking you personally. As I recall,
you plonked me because you disagreed with my political viewpoint. Yet, you
don't plonk Doug. What's up with that?

You put yourself there with your behavior. If you don't like it, then
change the way you act.

(which was an ad hominem attack to my discussion of a principle)

1- I am not at the "opposite end of the political spectrum" except
possibly with regard to principle

Clearly a matter of opinion. I tend to believe you are among the most
liberal of posters herein, only slightly to the right of Bubbles. You, of
course, are in constant verbal denial of this, but the facts speak for
themselves: you've supported one of the most liberal of democrats ever to
run for president, and you have regurgitated much of the same dogma that I
see on the far left websites. You've branded any of the current
conservative players in the political mess to be corrupt, illicit, and
without morality. You call them all "neocons," as if this is an
abberation of your brand of "conservatism." None of the conservatives I
know personally have any of these viewpoints.

2- My behavior is very considerably different. You and Dave are the only
ones who think I insult others for disagreeing, and then only some of the
time. Everybody knows that you do it all the time.

No one in the NG is lilly white w/r/t ad hominems, but both Dave and I
tend to discuss principles without attacking you. You, OTOH, seldom
debate an issue without attacking me personally, and I suspect you attack
Dave as well, although I really don't read enough of your and his posts to
know for sure. It's a suspicion based upon your behavior with me.

So it isn't really a question of "belief" now is it?

Right. It's more a question of denial: yours.
