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.

you're probably right. there are some principled conservatives
around...the right is just bat **** crazy


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).


agreed on all points. still waiting for obama to make progress on DADT
for the armed services...
