Do you have any idea how much it hurts me to agree, however coincidentally not to mention in writing, with the distinguished blogger from [redacted]?<BR/><BR/>The Cold War was a good enough benchmark then and by God it's a good enough benchmark now. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty sneaking Commie.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-61625002484543018722008-02-06T12:42:00.000-05:002008-02-06T12:42:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-72879276394950703472008-02-06T11:52:00.000-05:002008-02-06T11:52:00.000-05:00You're going to need a new benchmark for picking y...You're going to need a new benchmark for picking your candidates if it's linked to the Cold War. Many of the current candidates weren't old enough to fight the Cold War. McCain's looking older and more tired every day.<BR/><BR/>I'd give you that I like McCain's approach to the current fight, but, unlike suck-up Dave (who admittedly has to deal with you on more of a day-to-day basis), I really hate agreeing with you on anything, at least not in writing. :)<BR/>MLRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-81516743145197509482008-02-06T10:03:00.000-05:002008-02-06T10:03:00.000-05:00As always, JJV has in his hand a list of all elite...As always, <B>JJV</B> has in his hand a list of all elite collaborators and surrenderers.<BR/><BR/>I always interpret <B>JJV</B>'s "Commies" to mean whatever bogeyman is currently at the top of the list. It's the fallback smear for people of his ilk. MLR is correct that "Commies" have not actually been "the Communists" since the 80s. <BR/><BR/>I am always struck, incidentally, by the ability of certain people to refer to the late-80s "collapse of Communism" and seemingly ignore the paltry billion or so Chinese who are still technically Communist. On that note, I have always considered "ChiCom" a fantastic term, and I'm not just saying that to have a single point of agreement with my co-blogger.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-77557072926550749112008-02-06T09:14:00.000-05:002008-02-06T09:14:00.000-05:00MLR is correct that the Communists are not a big e...MLR is correct that the Communists are not a big enemy anymore but we still have among us people who chose their actions, like Charlie Wilson, in that epic struggle. I always look for the most ardent Cold Warrior as I think having the good judgment to fight the Communists when much of the elite gave up or collaborated is a good bench mark for who I should support today.jjvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223110296462634454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-62463700620667880442008-02-06T08:29:00.000-05:002008-02-06T08:29:00.000-05:00Killed the most commies? are you kidding me?

If you know anything about that story, you know that "commies" are not are big enemy anymore (like, since the 80s?).<BR/>MLRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-85303557059804773642008-02-05T10:24:00.000-05:002008-02-05T10:24:00.000-05:00Leninism ought not be emulated by the party of Bur...<I>Leninism ought not be emulated by the party of Burke.</I><BR/><BR/>Doesn't Norquist keep a picture of Vladimir Ilych on his wall?<BR/><BR/>Based on what <A HREF="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/176992.php" REL="nofollow">TPM is reporting</A>, it looks like McCain Derangement Syndrome is in full swing on the right.
