Max,

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

Sorry, Jon--I didn't intend to omit you. Yes, you're right up there.


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

I only ask that you watch his posts to me. Seldom does he make a point
without a personal jibe at the very least.

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

Highly doubtful, just the same as with something on a far right website.
Neither side give much credence to fact, only to hyperbole and dogma.

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

Every administration is filled with corrupt individuals to some degree.
This one, however, has certainly distinguished itself as the penultimate, if
not the ultimate, in corruption.

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

Only in the minds of those making the distinction. Left wingers think every
conservative today is a neocon. Most conservatives believe themselves to be
correctly described by the classic definition. I'm a fiscal conservative
and a social moderate, but Doug has spared no opportunity to brand me a
right wing wacko and/or a neocon.


I don't recall many instances of Doug attacking you personally.

Pay better attention to his responses to my posts.

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

I didn't killfile you because I disagreed with your politics--I did so
because you became so vehemently personal in your attacks. I'm gratified to
see how radically you've changed in that regard. I suspect you're a decent
sort, but your earlier (election period) posts were pretty rabid. I never
****can anyone because I disagree with them. I've done so if their attacks
become mostly personal (eg--Neal), or if they crosspost to the flonkers
(well over 100 so far).

Max
