Bucky, Again, I agree. I, personally, am not a political person. I don’t consider myself one or another. In fact, sometimes I find the whole thing as silly as cult religions. I only vote because it my duty as an American. I usually play “eeny-meeny-miny-moe”. But I guess I didn’t think about it before I posted this. Something like this would just get a few laughs on the [MP3.com](http://MP3.com) BB…maybe a reply or two and sink out of sight within a half hour. My judgement is blurred and I once again became the ass I really didn’t mean to be. I’m sorry everybody. :: kicks himself in the ass :: ---

Well, idiotboy, you can give me a kick in the ass, too, while you’re at it. You aren’t wearing pointy shoes, are you? I’m guilty of a bit of monkey piling on this one. Beers all around! Bucky’s buying! Bucky * * * Oh, well. We can always make more killbots. ---

Wow. One kick in the ass, and Bucky’s whole mood changes. ---

I’m far from being a conservative in my politics. My moderate views are about as exciting as Wonder Bread. Still, some of what Idiotboy (dude, find a better handle! On this board its like chumming for sharks :)) says comes pretty close to the truth. C’mon guys, lighten up, I’ve seen the worst in the conservative side of the house in the 80s, culminating with Iran-Contra and the S&L scandals, so I know they’re not looking very lily-white either. The present Bush-Christian Coalition isn’t something I’m overwhelmed with either. Still, the wacko political correctness movement has furnished its own rope to hang itself with. If I can sift through a lot of the libertarianism running rampant in this house, then I’m sure we can fit Idiotboy’s rants into a nice corner room with a view of the playground. To each his own, right? 🙂 * * * _…send lawyers, guns, and money…_ ``` Warren Zevon ``` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-be-a-liberal/15034.md?page=1)
