AndyK: Oh, come on - Bush-supporting conservatives are far more guilty of jingoism than liberals. "Bush lied, people died" might be a slogan, but it has a lot more back-story and support for it than when the Bush administration says that Bin Laden "hates freedom." Bin Laden doesn't hate freedom; he hates that America has arguably persecuted his people. There is a big difference between often-repeated statements that are encapsulating an idea versus oversimplifying/distorting an idea.

Hahaha! and I, of course I disagree profusely....Bin Laden DOES hate freedom... you need to check out his religion at some point...it is the definition and embodiment of slavery and oppression. I think the "back-story" there is far more supportable than general rabid anti-Bush derangement (which is oversimplified/unquantified/distorted behavior).

Ron Paul

I don't like him either that he wants to withdrawal before the job is done. I don't mind that he wants a small government, many other Republicans want one as well, so he's not the only one on that. I don't support his position on illegal immigration. Sure, Ron is for less spending, but then the military will take a beating like it did during the Clinton years. We'll be right back to another 9/11 in a term or two.
