In theory it should be harder to take out the PM
Check your theory. The facts say definitively otherwise.
Definitively? Maybe to you, not to me.
While the evidence suggests differently, I am not fully convinced that taking out the PM is in fact easier.
This does not surprise me. Liberals are rarely swayed by inconvenient facts.
First, we are off track. I frankly don't give damn if its easier to take out the PM of the UK or the president of the US. I just want to make sure that we accurately determine whether Bush was intentionally misleading the Amer. public or not, and if affirmative, that the proper steps be taken to impeach him.
Secondly, chill with the pedantic attitude. Its an obnoxious trait that conservatives bring to the fore whenever they can't have their way 100%, and its boring.
People will wait to hear the results before making a decision.
I was in Britain recently. I'm betting "people" stick with Blair. The opinion there, as here, seems to be that bumping Saddam was a good thing regardless of WMD.
If they stick with Blair, it will have more to do with his ongoing popularity than with the Brits. enthusiasm over the toppling of Saddam.
then "dropping bombs and ruling the world" was another way of referring to conservatism.
I think you seriously misunderstand what conservatism is about.
I don't think so.
For example, a conservative philosophy and isolationism are perfectly compatible.
What a surprise? So that's what Bush is doing with our allies.
And that, in a nutshell, is the problem with the right.
No. That is a problem of the left. You don't learn well. The most leftist philosphy is Communism. We have Leninist and Stalinist Russia and Maoist China as fine examples of its accomplishments.
The Russian and Chinese dictators hardly represent leftist philosophy in spite of pretending to be communists. In fact I would say Stalin was more right than he was left. After all, he was friends with Hitler, the ultimate conservative, until they had a falling out.
If that's correct, we have at least another 7 years of recession.
No. The flexibility of the US economic system will right things faster here than in Japan.
I agree.
You are suggesting that flexibility is a trait of the right. That's funny!
Economic flexibility is a trait of capitalism and free enterprise. Leftist/socialist "solutions" remove that flexibility.
They don't remove it; they restrict it. In some cases, that's not a bad thing.
If Churchill was as popular as you suggest, why would the Brits do that?
OK.
A couple of sentences would have sufficed. I know the history of Churchill. He was an arrogant asshole with a will of iron who had the courage to think and follow his own course during a difficult time in Britain's history. You see, occasionally the left can find something admirable about the right. The right has its purpose. |
