Sounds like Congress.

There is a fundamental difference in the way Liberals and Conservatives view tax dollars. While the Right Wingers are distraught at the idea that some tax payer investments ranging in the millions, designed with the intention of stimulating the economy, didn't exactly pan out as planned, the Liberal mind is cognizant and disgusted by the fact that hundreds of billions of tax funds are being used to slaughter tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

Polemics at its finest.

Indeed!

Some of the polemics on display, right here at the beloved MDB, are some of the very finest examples that I have ever seen.

To use aggresive argument with the intent to establish truth of your personal belief/opinion, is clearly a form of art.
in my opinion - Picasso, Van Gogh, and Monet would be rather impressed after spending a mere few moments with us here.

So, we like killing people, huh?

Waste of lives is worse than waste of money, but I don't advocate for either.

No kidding. I wasn't expecting him to say that because we don't like it when our tax dollars are wasted, we enjoy killing people. WTF?

We are not your enemies, Kevin. We may disagree on policies, but it's disgusting for you to say that we have no regard for the poor, the old, the sick, or even life itself.

I remember when the first Gulf War started. I was driving home from Idaho and President GHW Bush's announcement that the war had begun came over the radio. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I wept in my car because I knew a lot of people would die. I felt the same way about Afghanistan and Iraq. Frankly, the Iraq war was one of the biggest foreign-policy mistakes in American history. And I supported a much more limited mission in Afghanistan, certainly not "nation building." Yes, the wars have been hugely wasteful, as has a lot of misguided government policy.

But I'm tired of you saying that we feel contempt for the poor and the sick and now that we think it's marvelous to spend money killing people.

Obviously, if they were innocent, we wouldn't have killed them.
