Lazki said: “Given that there is a war on, these “conservatives” sound unbelievably selfish. They are also remarkably boring and rigid.

Boring and rigid? Aren’t those the very same adjectives used by liberals to describe us — uncreative and stuck in the past? That aside, how is it bad to at least try to stay true to your principles? McCain may be good on the war, but he worries me a great deal with his domestic policies. He thinks humans are responsible for global warming and helped sponsor a proposal for one of the original “cap and trade” systems. His noted weakness on border security is well known (did you know he was a co-sponsor with Ted Kennedy of that amnesty bill last year?), as is his apparent disregard for the First Amendment as it pertains to political campaigns. I may yet vote for him in November, if only to keep the Messiah out of the Oval Office; that doesn’t mean I agree with him or I like what he’s going to do.
