p>Great article about the uncanny timing of the “breaking news
story” the mysteriously missing weapons cache. I couldn’t help but
find it strange that two-thirds of the way through the article, the
author injected his opinion that he actually thinks that the Bush
administration’s handling of the weapons situation in Iraq has been
quite poor. My basic inquiry is whether this magazine in particular
and conservatives in general plan to come clean about their many
and substantial gripes regarding the Bush administration after they
win the election. Although I do believe that Bush is a better
leader than Kerry would be, I’m ready for a return to the days when
the conservative media wasn’t afraid to take the President to task
for his sub-par performance in office. Before election season
conservatives bemoaned his right-speak but leftish-action, and now
he’s the new Ronald Reagan. Give me a break…I’m ready for the
truth again.

Mr. Mike Horn, please see a shrink immediately. Not much else to say really other than thanks for the entertainment. One of the most insane tirades I have ever read.
I especially liked the part where it's me who "picked the scabs off the Vietnam war" even though it's your "ilk" (I've noticed that is a favorite word among right wing nutcases like you) that brought dug it all up to discredit a decorated war veteran just because he happens to be a Democrat. Well done.
I also like the paragraph where I'm guilty of every terrible thing that happened in the past 50 years by association. An example of right wing "logic" at its best. You dear sir have certainly learned how to paint someone with a negative brush well. Just throw a bunch of unrelated negative historical facts together, attach the name of whoever you want to portray in a negative light to it and voila.
Of course it doesn't matter that it's entirely irrational and has absolutely zero to do with reality. That has never stopped your "ilk" before.
The only pseudo-intellectual in all this is you. Aside from all the garbage I've already mentioned good work sticking me with the "liberal" label and holding my place of residence against me. That really shows what a great mind you have.
When someone drinks Kool-Aid in the quanitities you do the world becomes a strange place in which anyone disagreeing with your so called facts is automatically a mindless liberal drone. They can't possibly disagree with you based on the fact that your opinions are as far removed from reality as the Andromeda galaxy is from Earth, can they?
For your information I voted for John McCain in 2000, in the Republican primaries. There goes your little black and white world of make belief and simplistic labels.
You can certainly write, I'll give you that, but you are a world class demagogue with a mind punier than that of an amoeba.
