Sure.

American culture has so destroyed all things human that we might as well just blow ourselves up now.

Oh wait...thats someone else's mo.

And for someone who chastises the conservative...you sure seem to pine quite a bit for the days where these things weren't so "spoiled".

Oh well.

Hardly a matter of 'the days when'

It's a matter of 'attitude towards' the value nay Necessity of uncorrupted language, especially re such Idiotically false dichotomies as, Liberal/Conservative Left/Right and the rest of the dumbspeak which forever keeps Murican 'politics' paralyzed in Romper Room.

(Perhaps it's unMurican to harp on the absurdity that IS Murican politico-speak. Very well, then.)

And in (apparently your-) lexicon, I Am Conservative of Such Valuez; it is the (successful Rovian-) myth seized by the current crop of mind-fucking Trotskyites, that... Valuez belong only to the Troglodytes.

So many straw-men; so few butane lighters.

YOU are the one that claimed this is a current condition,

Ash.

The fact of the matter is that the meaning of success is NOT $$$. I don't think of it that way. I doubt I'm alone.

Of course, that may be how YOU define it, along with those you so bitterly criticize.

See? You have something in common with your foes! You are building bridges!

Really, Ash - once again, you seem to be comfortable with abetting 'language murder' when it's convenient to your own point.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

I doubt that.

This group is hardly cut from a cross-section, my friend.

WDYHASM

Must have been a sig or a statement.

Should have been WDIHASM when included in your post. At that point it simply is out of place and should be listed at the beginning of your post...because the remainder of the post is a fine example of "let me count the ways".

Hey...If pining for a time when...

...the Fascist were foreign instead of domestic, I happily license you to use the term "Reactionary" to describe me any time.

And I guess your tacit (and often less-than-tacit) support for Duh's "budget management" makes you a "Liberal", by your own definition of the word.

Fits right in with Ashton's language murder theme, don't it?
