Well that's true to a certain extent JLA. But you know what I've witnessed on this board and other political threads? Once you discard the rude name calling, the liberals or Democrats really have virtually no seriously debatable points to make with regard to policy, behavior, or integrity in politics. This is why they have to resort to childish name calling in the public arena. "Starving children" "Racist", "Sexist", "homophobic", "right wing radicals", etc. etc. We've seen them all used in the mainstream press over and over. Without the names, and when you really debate the assumptions under which they are launched. You find an empty belief system, devoid of intellectual integrity or logic. The behavior and debates on this thread have demonstrated that more than anything over the last year. Never did we see the Presidents behavior seriously analyzed by the Democrats. Never did we see just one of them openly admit. Hey! This is wrong, I'm not going to defend this sort of thing. In the end, all we saw was hatred and fear of admitting that Republicans or conservatives may have been right about Clinton all along. It's takes integrity to admit you voted for a scoundrel and regret it. It takes honesty to put in in writing on this board. It takes courage to challenge your belief's and assumptions. All "True North" principles found and admired in every culture on the planet. These are the same principles this country was founded on. This thread over the last year has demonstrated over and over that Democrats of all stripes are trying mightily to move America away from those ideals. Perhaps it's because they find it so difficult themselves to live with them. Perhaps it's because they have become so cynical they don't believe anyone truly believes that way anymore? Perhaps a lot of both. And now some like Michelle, can't face the truth any longer, so in desperation they turn to devices such as browserware in a last ditch effort to hide from the truth that scares them so greatly. Maybe their beginning to hear their own inner conscience speak? And just maybe they don't like what it's telling them. Michael
