The Arrogance of Horsepower

If, by calling me a liberal, Mr. Baum is suggesting that I am at odds with any number of policies endorsed by the Bush Administration, he does grasp the essence of my position, but merely applies an incorrect label. I prefer conservative/libertarian, thank you.

We were told that the current military adventure in Iraq was initiated because the evil Saddam was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (and, by the way, that he was not at all a nice fellow to his countrymen). There was never any suggestion that he had the means to deliver weapons of any sort to U.S. soil however, except perhaps to lug them in via our porous borders.

I would be in favor of deploying our military along our southern border with orders to shoot to kill anyone seeking to enter illegally, including Islamofascists. That should keep them at bay for a while, and prevent us from wilting under sharia law. However, we will remain unprotected from the rampant ravages of the law of political correctness. The imams of that religion are already firmly ensconced in the halls of power, claiming to be bona fide conservatives, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

At least he didn't call me a neo-conservative, which would really have made my blood boil.
