OK folks....I cnredd, of sound mind and body(HA!), am going AGAINST my longstanding tradition of using objective sources...What I am linking to is called "rightwingnews", so I don't expect any objectivity...BUT....
These thoughts are the thrust of many arguments made on the right...including myself...Conservatives will, obviously, agree with most, if not all, of what is written, but I'm posting this more for the thoughts of those on the "left" side of the aisle...
There is an obvious disconnect with the convictions on each side...most are 180 degrees of each other...So if a Liberal asks "How the hell can you think like that?!?!", hopefully, this will answer some of your questions...
I particularly enjoy this quote...It's what Conservatives have been saying for quite awhile now..
"I would disagree with John McCain that it’s the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it’s what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." -- John Kerry, "Face The Nation", 9/15/02

This is NOT meant to inflame anyone, nor is it meant to accuse others of being "liars"...It's just meant to inform Liberals of the "Conservative mindset".
(generalization...I know, I know)...
