I believe our hero's point in this scene is that sometimes you gotta fight. And with liberals its just as good to smack them around as it is to reason with them.

I find the idea of some pansy-ass lawyer "smacking me around" amusing. 101st fighting keyboardists, eh Hero?

You have lost the argument, and now you veer into the deranged. As a lawyer, you should know that we are a nation of laws. People who break those laws are dealt with by those individuals we have designated as upholders of those laws, namely, police and government agencies.

You do a whole lot of talking about liberals who don't fight, but it's strange - you're not arguing with me from Iraq, you're arguing with me from home. Go ahead tough guy, take "world injustice" into your own hands and sign up. You may have never met a brave liberal, which is interesting, because I've never met a conservative that didn't want to send somebody else to fight in their place.

And badmouthing Ghandi? You're pathetic.

I've never met a real liberal who could fight worth a damn.

I've never met a Conservative that can either. Met a few that can gang up on a weaker opponent, a few that can talk the talk, a few that can get other people to do the fighting for them.

A few that call other people cowards when they don't bully the little guy.

They can whine (and wine), they can complain, they can even partake in non-violent civil dissobiediance...and I think that has its place in civilized society, but such measures only work if your enemies share your values. Take Gandi for example. He'd have never freed India had he faced Nazis, Imperial Japanese, or Islamafascists instead of the British and their western values.

Violence is a last resort, something most conservatives don't seem to understand because they seem to believe might makes right.

This is probably why they tend to back down when someone stronger comes along, rather than fighting on with the courage of their convictions.

It’s a tired old argument; anyone who won’t fight their wars for them is a Coward. Worked for the British during their imperial expansion, worked for the Nazi’s (since you brought them up), worked for the Imperial Japanese. So you’re in good company calling anyone who won’t do what you want them to a coward.

Guy everything you've said has been said a million times before here.

Everyone here knows the oil connection (and no Oil is not the only reason the admin went to war) or ignores it because they want to desperately believe that their man is on the up and up.

They'd watch Bush plunge a knife into a baby’s heart and rationalise it. The baby must of been a terrorist with WMD's.

Actually, with a small post in between a classic 7%/Hero argument (

), it's not so much a case of being ignored as even seen in the first place. Once we've degenerated a thread, it's hard to get it back to normalcy

I was right the pendulum is finally swinging back to the left.

I love the RWD threads, but I rarely post, still I have to say that in the last few months the conservatives have really lost it. Storymark, made an interesting point: Hero sounds like he has left reality behind, his arguments nowadays make no sense. This forum has shifted from the right to the left and I am afraid it is driving Hero and the few other remaining conservatives insane.

Hero, it's OK your party is certainly not fiscally conservative, your party is more than a little idealistic, and your party is more than a little incompetent. Us democrats have accepted these truths for decades and it really brings us inner peace. Find the happy thoughts.

There was a time when Hero made sense, and I'm sure he still can, given a little time. The funeral he went to has him all spun about, and understandably so. No one like to think of a man dying for a whim or a dubious plan, it's too horrifying, too much loss of control thinking we could all just be puppets who's wires could be cut at any moment because a number was picked or a General was feeling particularly feisty on a certain morning in the field.

The neo-con arguments are beginning to crumble in on themselves, let's not beat 'em when they're going down.

Why not? They would. They have.

This is one thing that troubles me about the Democrats: the lack of a killer instinct. They shy away from impeachment when they should be talking about imprisonment.

They should be absolutely crushing every single Republican, humiliating them, labelling every single one responsible for the deaths of so many Americans and Iraqis. They should grind every senator, representative and campaigner into the dirt.

And you know something? I suspect most Republicans would respect that.

Hey Hero- good news! They just upped the recruitment age to 42. If you hurry I bet you can join!

I dunno why but I still get an icky feeling every time Hero attends a funeral. It's almost as if he wants the glory to rub off on him w/o having to actually do anything... er, heroic... himself.

He wants to be a Hero, but he can't.
