Hello Everyone !
Bluuuue Rajah Bluuuuue@Rajah. writes: : Why would you immediately be so skeptical as to make : such a request? I needed to verify that you weren't a sock puppet for a neo-con who's a *lot* meaner than you. You only just encountered me. What makes you think you have any idea how mean I am? Not all conservatives are neocons. Contrary to popular belief and careless usage, the terms aren't interchangeable. What's a "hoop." Are you saying that I'm asking you to give me somthing to screw you with? No. I'm saying that you're asking me to go to a degree of hassle that's unreasonable under the circumstances: Jump through hoops (idiomatic): To put forth effort for the sake of appearance or demonstration. "They really made the salesman jump through hoops before buying anything." Etymology: reminiscent of a circus animal performing tricks by jumping through hoops. -- http://tinyurl.com/cefw6n In other words, I don't know you from Adam. You don't even post under your actual name. Why should I care whether or not you believe what I have to say? Geoff -- "Remember, Don: When God closes a door, he opens a dress." -- Roger Sterling |

If he just got rid of his political posturing, he might be worthy of some worthwhile childfree discussion. Why is it "posturing" with me but not with you and your fellow liberals? Because George Bush really, really screwed up badly. By doing so, he put such a massive quantity of political capital into his enemies' bank account that nothing a conservative can say is listened to, and nothing a liberal can say is wrong. Content is irrelevant. Keep your head down, because everything you say just invites abuse. No matter what you do, you can't win, so don't even bother to play. Bide your time, husband your resources and don't strike until the moment is right. Right now, the moment is not right. You know, for an American Idol guy you speak pretty good. What's with that? Whatever gave you the idea that I watch "American Idol"? Oh, I saw the groups and thought you did it. BTW, does *anyone* here watch American Idol? I've never seen it. |

"Just go with the flow," in other words, "and you won't get hurt." Defeatist nonsense. The Left certainly didn't follow that advice during the Reagan era, in the wake of the Carter debacle, so why would I?
