Platt,
Yes "irrational" and "fanatic" are insults ---even when they are coming out of
Bush's mouth.
So Bush's insults justifying the war are not genetically predisposed but
liberals criticisms of the war are geneticallly predisposed?
You don't hear conservatives insult????????????
Give me a break, turn on the news and listen for 5 minutes.
Just because it is directed to a nonAmerican it still is an insult.
Or is it just American insults are genetically predisposed?
Let's start a genetic study right now--the search for an American insult gene.
LOL
