i'm finding that the conservatives here have a woeful lack of
knowledge about current events...
Firstly, I disagree with you labeling them "conservative." They
don't
really appear to be that. I think radical right (radical for this
country anyway) would be more appropriate. I'm a fiscal
conservative for
sure. I'm a liberal when it comes to social issues.

Secondly, I'm shocked by the seeming lack of knowledge about
current
events also. I think that's not really the case. I think it's more
of
ignoring facts when they're inconvenient.

I'm happy to reevaluate the performance of Obama and/or the Dem.
"leadership" in Congress as necessary. The latter are truly
dropping the
ball right now, and I strongly believe that Obama got involved too
late
in the process. I don't see those on the radical right honestly
evaluating those politicians (and other, e.g., Beck, Rush, Wilson,
Palin, Cheney) on the right who are leadership roles (in name or in
fact).
It's good to see you have found your 'niche' here, right between
Harry
and w3fh, with Donnie as a chaser.

If you find things too shocking, there really are a lot of political
groups where your expertise would be immensely appreciated.
She is a fiscal conservative, in her words, meaning she wants to make
and
keep her own money. On social issues, she doesn't mind throwing YOUR
money
around. It's so easy to be a liberal socialist, don't you think?

I'm pretty sure that I've donated a lot more of my hard-earned money
to
charity that you. I'm certain that I've donated more of my precious
time.
I'm also betting that you don't do much of either. Feel free to tell
me
otherwise, of course.

Ouch!


When it comes to charity, Harry will tell you that he is proud that his
father in law is a philanthropist. I guess that makes Harry generous by
association.



So, you don't do much of it? Is that your final answer?


Putting words in mouth again, Tootsie. That's a bad habit of yours.



Still waiting for you to answer the question Dustin.
