Maybe he's an extremist BoDean. Instead of being closer to free, he's going all out. What happened to the Party Of Five joke?

No shit. A man with a couple hundred mgs of Oxy up his nose can't feel pain.

He's keeping a Marvin-esque distance and using both hands to cover his groin.

Awesome.

I don't think that one can be beat.

It also requires more than the results of an online quiz to determine your political philosophy. A libertarian wants free borders (illegal immigration loses far less jobs for Americans than outsourcing), less laws (none of this banning gambling by tucking stuff into appropriations bullshit, no more hugely expensive/largely worthless War on Drugs), and lower taxes for ALL Americans (which will never happen if we continue to waste money with such follies as the Iraq War & the Great Wall in Texas). So, your quiz results tell you that you are a libertarian...yet you support the invasion of countries, huge expenditures, a wall around the border for more cash spent, and wiretapping (infringing on the rights of Americans is not a popular idea amongst libertarians). Forcing another country to adopt the political philosophy of another is extremely authoritarian, your quiz results notwithstanding. At this point, the only area where the GOP compares to libertarians (the real conservatives) is on gun control. After going farther with the drug war than any other administration, adding laws like the gambling ban, starting wars, etc...todays Republican Party has no claim to the conservatism of Barry Goldwater.

See, the reason I called you (Spicy Higgins) a neoconservative is that you are wholeheartedly defending the policy of attacking countries and forcing them to live under our political system. You say the exact same things..."Everyone wants to be free!" and then you repeatedly use that as a reason for nation-building. It is the single most glaring trait of neoconservatism, and you are fiercely adament about it. You offer NO other explanation for why we invaded Iraq EXCEPT the neocon-policy talking points and you struggle to find any faults in this particular War. So, you're not being called names, you are being labeled with a word that fits your philosophy re: this issue. And now, again, please offer ONE time when the neoconservative idea of coerced-freedom has EVER worked. And, again, you get the entire history of mankind to work with here. One, please.

WOAH-UH

See, you just called me a progressive liberal...which is what a Bill O Reilly or Anne Coulter say about ANYONE that does not subscribe to the Iraq policy (or lack thereof). It matters little to you what my repeatedly stated views are, if I oppose the current War in Iraq than it automatically means 'progressive liberal'. It's like the 'you people oppose the 2nd ammendmant' that you recently pulled out of nowhere to defend your support of Presidential wiretapping. Of course, you complain and try to assure us that you dont watch the Factor & you dont simply reguritate 'opinions/views' from whatever talking points attract you. Question - When has the neoconservative idea of 'coerced freedom' ever worked? Throughout all of history, back way before the term 'neocon' was ever coined...please give one example.

How do people come to be neoconservatives? At what point in their educational development do they entirely miss the point that political views have never, and can never, be succesfully forced on foreign people via warfare?

It was implied so blatantly that it was accepted as Fact among the more gullible bloc of Americans. "Fight them there/not here," while also being a chilling reminder of Vietnam, also clearly implicates Iraq in 9-11. 'Them' are the terrorists/evildoers that attacked us once 'here' and 'there' was the place whose case was made by this Administration, Iraq.

Zach Wilde is terrible. His act is really milked out.

I Dont really know about that. And I saw an ad for Erlich which noted that Maryland was the #1 state for Stem Cell research so this will probably be a bigger issue here in MD than in Missouri or where ever else. Bob Ehrlich says a lot of things in his ads.

I think Martin O' Malley will make a fine governor for you Marylanders.

That joke just didn't quite work.

Wow, that exchange was funny... Leena: "Its for meeting people" other poster: "Leave your house"

I still dont get how people consider myspace to be the end of the world. Really, if youre at the point where a social website causes you such anquish, it's getting kinda sad.

Normally, I'd view Arizona at Green Bay as an easy game...but the Packers haven't won at home yet this year. Hopefully they just play a decent game, minimal mistakes, and let the Cards beat themselves in the cold.

I pray we remain this safe after November 7th.

Dick Cheney was (and may still be) under the impression that War is lollipops & fairytales. A bunch of people believe(d) him, sadly.

I think I just heard one of Czech's fave bands.
