what kind of liberal are you?

and if you’re not one, what the hell is wrong with you?!

there’s a fun quiz over at www.fightingconservatives.com. my results are below. and a very interesting excerpt (the “liberal manifesto”) from daniel’s book is here in this post over at dkos.

How to Win a Fight With a Conservative is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Liberal Identity:


You are a Peace Patroller, also known as an anti-war liberal or neo-hippie. You believe in putting an end to American imperial conquest, stopping wars that have already been lost, and supporting our troops by bringing them home.

george and his radical islamic pals

you want to talk about radical islam? try this.

and yet, saudi arabia was a key stop on little george’s recent trip abroad. by all accounts it was a reasonably successful one for him personally, replete with sword dances and expensive gifts. of course, it wasn’t quite like the old days when the saudis needed the americans and not vice versa. so when george started begging for a little break on the oil prices, the house of saud probably laughed and said “just be thankful we still funnel all of that money to the carlyle group, junior. now shut up, hold my hand and look like you’re enjoying yourself.”

because all this talk about bringing democracy to the middle east might be the dream of the neoconservatives, but to silver-spoon scum like dubya, it’s all about the benjamins. or should we say riyals.
