As usual, the Monte Imitator demonstrates his incredibly thick and impervious skull and very dull mentality.

"Unruly ill mannered disrespectful people, where the primary goal in life is instant gratification without any concern about consequence."
Almost all the College Riots are caused by drunken White Students. The Brits have their Soccer Hooligans. How many School shootings and bombings by Black kids?
"This is also an apt description of exurban-sprawling, extavagent home-building, gas-guzzling, hyper-materialistic US conservatives (especially a great many of their over-indulged progeny), who then often add fuel to their hypocritical fire by professing to be "moral"."
"over-indulged progeny",indeed! Sex, Drugs and bullying of the Poor and unhip in the Upscale Burbs! And don't you love the WashPost pics of the pretty little Blonde Hos with their $50,000 teeth and $50,000 Breasts at the Airport, off on Spring Break to try some Brown Meat, some Black Meat, maybe even some Girl-Girl or 3-way action? But not to worry, little MacKenzie has Birth Control and if she forgets, easy abortion.
"Accepting/excusing selfish, wanton, boorish behavior without consideration of the impact on others - as long as it's financed by a paycheck instead of a welfare check - is the pathetic, over-simplified definition of "freedom" (or "rights") employed by the least-capable thinkers among us."
I'm with donholl.

Since there's little chance you'll ever find anything bad to say about your end of the philosophical spectrum (conservative=dogmatic=closed-minded=unable to recognize shortcomings or reassess), I'll be sure to point out a conservative version of anything you perceive as a progressive character defect, whenever I have the opportunity"
Many self proclaimed "liberals" enjoy the American way of life which you have a problem with. I will say as a group I do believe the "conservative" mind set is morally superior than the liberal mind set, I have no doubt on this!
So mchuan, you ARE still here. So why don't you man up.
I'm still waiting for that "Bush Boot Licking" statement you say I made. When did I say that again? So far, you haven't produced any such thing. So here's what you can do; you can put up like a man, retract your charge, or you can continue to run away like a little girl.

Earth to mchaun. It's 2011.
Why is it always the left that spews the ad hominem and hate? When you're out of ideas, that's all ya got left.

You made a prediction that DIDN'T come true!
Your Bush Boot (or worse) Licking was yesterday.
I gave you 3 examples, 2 direct, 1 by inference.

Sorry, forgot to post them.

You're a class act, mchaun.
Thanks for the "reliable" sources. Too funny. This is what libs call evidence."
I thought you BBLs were good with Politico. Do you ever accept our evidence when offered?
"Now, let's get serious, shall we. I repeat, As for being a "Bush Boot Licker", you should read some of my posts here which criticize him and his presidency roundly... so point to one "Bush Boot Licker" comment. You wouldn't have lied about that, would you?

Twice he pleads to look at his attacks on Bush. God, I must have hurt him terribly!! But how can I look at his Anti-Bush stuff, Diane doesn't maintain Comment Archives, or does she??
I searched for 'Bush and ecgberht' and wow, nearly a Hundred hits for Bush alone- old ecgberht must have a huge body of work to his credit.
The very first hit found 2 comments "attacking" Bush- to follow.

What pathetic crap!! Not a single true assertion, UN "Permission" bald face lies. Liberal reaction- BS. And I'll bet poor Bush's ears are burning from ecgberht's savagery!!

"spontaneous uprising"
Bush I stopped where he did because the UN resolution had been fulfilled. And the left criticizes him for it.
Bush II went in and deposed a murderous dictator (with permission from UN resolution 1441 and Congress) and the left continues to criticize him for it.
As for the Kurds and Shi'a? Perhaps Saddam was just killing them for sport?
And as for the hypocrisy? I suppose then, you favor intervention in Bahrain, Tunisia, and Yemen?
Have to go for today.

Were you forgetting about the Bush years? Have you ever seen Daily Kos (I'm betting daily). Do you remember the Alfred E Newman images of Bush, Bush as an ape, etc., etc?

OK, folks. What you are seeing is a bad case of BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) so I won't make fun of the handicapped.
I won't make fun of the idea that facts are now considered Bush Boot Licking.
mchaun, now I just feel sorry for you.
A lot of bloviating, but not ONE SHRED that disproves what I wrote.
