I nowiki'd your fact check to keep it from the category. Anyway, this is an essay, not an article. And I relinquish ownership...you may rewrite the whole thing (The pernicious conservative swarm). HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 14:04, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
(Sigh.) No interest, unfortuantely. ŠтΈṜȳŁЁand...? 14:07, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

OK, let's get this started. It aint called the "Right-Wing echo chamber" for nothin'.... --Gulik 14:15, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I suggest "mirroring" some of the article it almost shares a title with, like the box at the top, for example. The deceptions and needless violence of the Iraq War alone ought to make it as long as the "other" essay. Of course, out of fairness to HG, much of what might be written here is documented elsewhere on this site. Where's my new toilet?! humanbe in 14:17, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Again, Iraq is fair game in my mind. But the body historical (acutal) counts will speak for themselves. Thanks for the flattery/immitation. HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 14:18, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
I hope I don't get stung! ŠтΈṜȳŁЁand...? 14:43, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Neo-conservative or conservative?[edit]

I think you guys recognize some difference. HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 14:20, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I do. The Neo-conservatives are the guys making suckers of the regular Conservatives, who vote for them, pay for them, and DIE for them. Now, for the big question... Can YOU tell the difference between "Liberals" and "Communists"? Because I've seen no evidence of that, yet, in YOUR essay. --Gulik 14:26, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Hey, I agree with you on your description. Wow. HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 14:28, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
So, that's a "no", then? Unfortunately, that's about what I thought. --Gulik 14:29, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Yes, neo-liberals are communists, and I am a classical liberal (John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, et al). HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 16:02, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Hmmm, "neo-liberals are communists" - so you don't know the difference, or refuse to admit any gradation of philosophy to the left of yourself? humanbe in 18:03, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

American Taliban[edit]

I thought that we already had an American Taliban article? Has it gone?--Bob_M (talk) 15:38, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I don't know if RW does, but WP does. John Walker Lindh. The fruit of liberalism, and the spawn of a closeted homosexual according to Wikipedia. Yeah, I suppose he was homeschooled, so you have that going for you. HeartGoldSwarm like a hive 16:01, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, because "Taliban" means "Hippie" in Afghan, right? :-P --Gulik 18:16, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Here it is. Should it be in ACD? "fun:American_Taliban"" — Unsigned, by: Bob M / talk / contribs
No, unless it was only jokes when put there. We should have the article in the mainspace, care to move it and fix any links to the ACD version? Then any sysop can delete the pointless redirect. humanbe in 17:55, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
Dunnit myself. humanbe in 18:07, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
Sorry Human - wasn't watching this. should have done it myself.--Bob_M (talk) 11:00, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
