[POLITICS]"Don't call me a conservative..."
A question: With which crowd do you sympathize? The wedding party or the bombers? DC cons or Cannes? Don't call me a conservative. That's a fighting word.
~Lew Rockwell, 'Training Wheels and Fighting Words.'
On the border between Iraq and Syria, as Rockwell relates, a wedding party of some forty-odd people was slaughtered by U.S. military-men.
In DC, various sorts of self-identified conservatives[1] gathered to cheer on Bush -- and stomp and otherwise 'ovate' -- as he spoke of such as training wheels. That's what we're about to remove from our [baby-brother?] Middle Eastern nation, you see.
In Cannes, Michael Moore achieved something of a catharsis in the screening of his latest film, it dealing with the crap (wars and budgets and so on) we've lately endured -- the film: /Fahrenheit 9/11/.
And then, Rockwell asks the above. It's a good question.

[1] Rockwell: "the usual hacks, hucksters, interns, college Republicans, political junkies, bumper-sticker salesmen, special interest pleaders, cynical intellectuals, organizers, would-be power brokers, and naïve throngs of dupes, plus some sincere people who truly believe that the conservative movement is a viable vessel for change toward freedom."
