kyburg | A Year Ago

Yes, I did it. I went back and looked at the calendar and picked tomorrow, a year ago and read my entry.

I could weep.

So much credibility. So quickly down the drain.

The emphases are mine.

Since when did war become a traditional value? WWII was fought entirely with Democratic Presidents in office, one the biggest socialist the country has really known.

And I don't buy that the CIA botched the intelligence. Not for a moment.

This whole mess was reckless, not properly thought-out or just plain stupid, and motivated by sheer greed - which one can find on both sides of the aisle.

When I see a real conservative again, I will be truly grateful. In the meantime, those who espouse "liberalism" as a deadly sin are going to get the hairy eyeball. And lose three intelligence points.

I'm not a Democrat and no, I'm not a liberal because I'm not a Republican. Warning: I have a mind of my own and know how to use it.

Pro-life, my ass.
