I don't know that it applies that much in this case, but it's most strikingly evident in the terrorist/martyr debate. Clearly the terminology is not all that seperates the two sides in that debate.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152749228105644872006-07-12T19:07:00.000-05:002006-07-12T19:07:00.000-05:00Hey, whats the political process without a good us...Hey, whats the political process without a good useless debate over semantics. :) Just this past week my home state spent their precious time drawing-up an equal rights bill for cross-dressers in the work place.HazMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240358045829659764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152676891766562112006-07-11T23:01:00.000-05:002006-07-11T23:01:00.000-05:00Yeah I'd agree though I think the argument over wh...Yeah I'd agree though I think the argument over whether we are a Republic or Democracy is just a semantics one.

I know the Republican Party isn't entirely in step with my views, but I am a huge believer in the two-party systeml; I intend to eventually explain the reasons for that(short answer: stability that a Great Power requires). Of the two parties the Republicans are much closer to my views (or more importantly the Democrats are much further away) so that's where I am.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152505686048744522006-07-09T23:28:00.000-05:002006-07-09T23:28:00.000-05:00Cool, someone who knows who Fuller is.

As far as the obviously being a Republican, it's something of a hyperbole and refers to me being a young, christian, veteran, white male not so much due to a classical liberal worldview. I wouldn't say that is the exclusive domain of either party. Though they don't seem to exist in Congress there are plenty of Democrats who still have a realistic worldview.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152487894647141722006-07-09T18:31:00.000-05:002006-07-09T18:31:00.000-05:00Thanks Amanda, glad you didn't find it long and bo...Thanks Amanda, glad you didn't find it long and boring like I did.

Good points, I always like comparing the world to a family or a classroom, with Europe playing the role of the doting mother (or teacher) and the tinpot dictators the role of spoilt out of control brats. I was going to include an example about how a courts ruling does not itself serve justice but the armed men willing to risk their lives seizing and then detaining an individual who serve it. How many terrorists running around Lebanon or Pakistan have we convicted? Yet those pieces of paper haven't arrested them. But I figured it was long and boring enough already.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152468017399952582006-07-09T13:00:00.000-05:002006-07-09T13:00:00.000-05:00This may be a strech, but bear with me here...In l...This may be a strech, but bear with me here...In looking at the failures of the U.N. and league of nations, We can see flaws of liberal thinking as they apply to families and the court system. Basicly , a society without corporal punishment and punitive action will not hold together. God in His wisdom knew that a law without real, physical, tangible ,consequences is powerless. If you have children you learn this real fast. Don't make a rule unless you're willing to get off your duff and enforce it!HazMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240358045829659764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1152465523410561042006-07-09T12:18:00.000-05:002006-07-09T12:18:00.000-05:00Essentially that is what would have happened.

The American people also had good reason for not wanting to get involved in the world, we were the hardest hit relatively by the Great Depression. Better to focus on our ow problems than on the world's. A different President than Roosevelt,and different Prime Ministers than Chamberlain and Daladier could have doen things differently, but those are who led the 3 big democracies.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.com
