"You still don't seem to understand us. Maybe you are just a little cranky. Is your specialty software?" EE in the field of electronic hardware design in the Defense Electronics Industry. "I do not believe I am xenophobic about the Chinese." I'm sure you're not. Many who characterize themselves as "traditional conservatives", known as paleo conservatives, are perceived to be xenophobic. And liberals, when it's in their political interest are not above exploiting it. "I believe in spreading democracy even when some weasel thinks he can make money doing business with despots". Weasels, despots? Who are you referring to? "I believe in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution". And you probably believe in mom and apple pie too. "I believe that having the courage of your convictions starts with being willing to give up money as a minimum standard." I agree. We should all give more money to good charitable causes. We should also help people to help themselves. Provide them with the tools needed to achieve personal wealth, like 'puters and 'puter education. MSFT is assisting in this area. "And of course you need in some cases to be willing to risk more. Otherwise you don't have any principles, however you may delude yourself". And many of us do. We believe it is a duty and honor to serve in the armed forces and risk our life when called upon for the purpose of defending freedom and liberty around the world. Where was the Left during the "Cold War"? JD

"However, I sympathize with the Chinese people far too much to sell them out like the money grabbing cowards in the new congressional Republican right. "money grubbing cowards"? Get a grip. You're going off the deep end. "In this sense I am a liberal, because American liberals, ironically, seem to be the only political people in the country who seem to remember what a communist is and why you have to fight them." What chutzpah. Ironic is not the word for it. If what you say is true then they're "Johnny come latelys". Why were Liberals AWOL during the "Cold War"? "All you really wanted was another ad hominem cheap shot, and I got in the way." Ad Hominems are against SI's rules. JD
