I don't think he meant in terms of big or small government, spending, etc. I think he meant on becoming morality Nazis that try to blur the separation of church & state, bigots (or was that racist or prejudiced, since there's a difference in all three), and kick ass first ask questions later war hawks.
Perhaps he should have clarified that that is what he was talking about rather than use the vacuous, double-speak of The Obama. His decision was about race that's all; to attempt to rationalize it as anything else is futile.
As for your assessment of Bush and his "true" conservatism, I completely agree.
Again, agree. Although, I'm not wild about Palin's foreign policy knowledge, but that's another issue...
As much as I like Sarah Palin she does need to gain some more experience (as does The Obama).
This is bama fan mentality (although sadly that analogy is starting to lose its relevance). Ask anyone not of this country and they will tell you that America has lost all of the respect we once held just in these last seven years. That's great if you think our country can survive autonomously and the rest of the world can fuck right off. What industry are we leading the world in right now, besides maybe entertainment? Are you saying we don't rely on foreign trade? I bet few Romans could give a fuck about the rest of the world before their civilization fell.
Call it what you will but I call it patriotism. To use your word; "sadly" patriotism has become too old-fashioned and small-minded these days. Globalists tend to look down their noses on patriotism and national pride by using ad hominem attacks as they sip their chablis or zima, discuss how boorish America is, and congratulate themselves for being so wise, eco-friendly, and multi-cultural. The view from the Crystal Towers of Academia must be breathtaking.
This is exactly why I think we need to focus less on what the world thinks of us and more on making ourselves a greater nation. The United States, like an individual, cannot be defined by what others think. We can't use the world as a guide...or use a "global test" as John Kerry called it four years ago. The United States of America is unique. But I suppose in your enlightened worldview we need to use Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea as examples of respected nations and global trading partners. Or, perhaps, the cowardice of some of our Euro-trash 'friends' who don't have the stomach to fight Islamo-fascism might be a better example for us to follow?
Quite frankly I resent your arrogant attitude that I should "ask anyone not of this country and they'll tell you that we've lost respect".
First of all I am not the backwater hick that you apparently take me for although I have been known to be "a bitter gun-owner who clings to his religion". You sound so much like The Obama who told us how dull we Americans sound when we travel to Europe and "all we can say is 'merci beaucoup'". Wow...maybe someday I'll be smart like The Obama too once I open my mind and stop watching Fox News and listening to talk radio. Please...don't patronize me, my friend.
Secondly, this country does not need the respect of any nation that is not unequivocally prepared to be our ally this day and age; we don't have the time or resources to play geo-political footsie. In fact, right now, with the shadow of Islamo-nazi terrorism still looming worldwide the world should probably fear being our enemy more than anything else...but you probably think that's more "bama fan mentality".
And third, for the record I support Auburn on game-day.
Kind of like an economic bail out? Whose idea was that? Obama's? But that goes back to the one point we do agree on, that Bush is no true conservative. Although, McCain was in favor of the bailout too.
I'm not convinced that ANY of the corporate bailouts were a good thing either and we will probably regret those decisions down the Road to Socialism too.
Sounds like you need to vote for The Obama, my friend.
