Check out Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism."
"Progressive" politics IS a religious belief system.

Check out Orcinus and SadlyNo where people will be dismantling Jonah for the next couple years. If you read "Liberal Fascism," read "Mein Kampf" to see where Jonah got all his themes about saving the fatherland from lefties. trade unions, the liberal press, pacificists, atheists, and wimpy teachers. You don't even have to buy it, the entire text of "Mein Kampf" is on line.

Bogey, as a veteran, and a former National Guardsman, I will tell you flat out that yes, they did. EVERY Guardsman and reservist is told they are eligible for mobilization to active duty at any time.

I know. but how many times in our history have National Guardsmen gone abroad for SEVERAL tours of active duty"?
as the "new reality" has set in, it now explains why the National Guard is experiencing drastic recruiting shortages.

OK.
Let’s go back to last week at CPAC, where he had an opportunity to pander but did not. He said:
“I believe today, as I believed twenty-five years ago, in small government; fiscal discipline; low taxes; a strong defense, judges who enforce, and not make, our laws;”
In the same speech he said “All I ask of any American, conservative, moderate, independent, or enlightened Democrat, is to judge my record as a whole, and accept that I am not in the habit of making promises to my country that I do not intend to keep.”
Is there something else you’d like? If you cannot accept this commitment, made before an audience of national networks, you’re indirectly calling him a liar and far be it from ANYONE to “convince” you.
Before you even think "Gang of 14" please consider this: in my opinion the larger issue was "nuking" the organized use of filibuster. If the "nuclear option" had been deployed, can you imagine what 2006 would have brought in the legislative branch? Hint 1: Democrat majorities in the Senate and the House. Hint 2: taxpayer provided health care for families with incomes approaching $80K. Hint 3: self inflicted defeat and victory by radical Islam.
Now kindly answer my question from two days ago:
“will you live with McCain's flaws or (in Ed's words) 'four or eight years of statist policy that could take a generation to undo.' If you won't or can't answer that, please provide a third and equally credible scenario."
