[QUOTE=DevNull] 5) Willingness to capitulate to the enemy rather than annihilate the enemy [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] This mostly a list of mainstream, centrist positions with the exception of number 5 which is a position held by nobody on the left or the right and is certainly not held by Bush. [/QUOTE] Well, no one that I know of in a public office. I run into quite a few people who do, especially on the Internet. Given the use of the word “annihilate”, I wouldn’t be surprised if **DevNull** is one of those “nuke the Muslims !” types. And as for this : [QUOTE=DevNull] 3) Recognizing illegal aliens as having Constitutional rights [/QUOTE] You have rights when you cross the border, criminal or not. Accused mass murderers have rights, and even convicted criminals have many rights. Why target illegal aliens as being the only group that has none ? Let me guess; you’re one of the sort that thinks anyone accused of a crime, no matter how trivial, much less committing one should lose all rights, susceptible to being abused or tortured or killed at a whim. And you aren’t worried about the consequences because you aren’t a criminal and such things would never apply to you. If you don’t do anything wrong why should you worry, eh ? [QUOTE=DevNull] If I was an idiot, why would you all be so cruel to an idiot? [/QUOTE] Because you are not an idiot, you are a fool and scum. Both are self inflicted problems. ---

I think you’re confusing “leftist” with “centrist.” If most people agree on certain things – education reform, campaign finance reform, etc. – but you don’t, there’s a good chance that you, not society, is the one taking extreme positions. ---

In context: > [@DevNull](#): > > We will strengthen our engagement with the full range of Iraqi opposition forces and work with them effectively and prudently. - TRUE Is **DevNull** crediting the Clinton Administration with taking effective and prudent steps to enable the overthrow of Saddam Hussein by his own people (by strengthening the Administration’s engagement with the full range of 1998-era Iraqi opposition forces)? 'Cause it looks like he called that sentence in Clinton’s speech “TRUE”. And if it is true, it’s a damn shame Al Gore never entered the White House to continue that trajectory. ---

The laws do not say murdering citizens is against the law, the laws state that murdering humans is against the law. And allow me to quote what one of the Founding Fathers once said, “We believe that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” That was written by Thomas Jefferson, and you don’t get any closer to the founding of this nation without swinging nut-to-nut in George Washington’s ballsack. You notice that he _didn’t_ say, “We believe that all men born within the geographical region commonly referred to the colonies of America are created equal and that which we are about to ennumerate applies only to them.” He said “_all_ men,” and he also said, “are endowed by their _Creator_,” therefore, if we truly believe that, then we should follow the laws laid out by this nation under _all_ circumstances, because if our laws are in line with those of our Creator, then to have one set of laws for us and another set of laws for those we don’t consider to be us, goes against everything this nation was founded upon. > [@](#): > > Promoting a leftist ideal is promoting a leftist ideal whether it fails or succeeds.

You know who’s leading the push for more environmental laws? Large businesses. Seems that they don’t like the idea of having to deal with a hodge podge of environmental laws that vary from place to place, they think it would be easier to have one central set of laws with which to deal with.
