Now that you mention it IL1, Dim son has had a curious history with bulges of various types.
First it was the enormous bulge in his flight suit which various conservatives got positively excited about, including a very strange exchange between Chris Matthews and G. Gordon Liddy where they practically broke into a sweat discussing that manly bulge on their hero.
Then there was the odd little bulge in the back of Bush's suit coat during the debates, remember? The one which indicated he was wearing some sort of device to help him out. Perhaps Rove was in the wings wispering things for the moron to say. After all, as was noted at the time, at one point, Bush blurted, "Let me finish" in the middle of an answer when no one had said anything!
Here's a picture showing Bush's transmitter bulge and another of his tailor trying to explain it away.
What a joke.
And here's another which shows the bulge and a commercially available remote transmitter device.
You're right. Such noted morons as Charles Krauthammer, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams... they all just stopped thinking and became Republicans. Oh yeah...and William F. Buckley... tain't nobody stupider than William F. Buckley.
Buckley also was a racist and likely doesn't even recognize the ideology of Bush and his crew. It's not even recognizable from the conservative vision when a young Buckley wrote "God and Man at Yale".
Charles "Sour" Krauthammer is a bitter old fool, and routinely spouts crap that is simply non-sense, such as when he put himself forward as a psychiatrist and diagnosed Al Gore as insane because he raised his voice in a speech or something similarly ridiculous.
Barry Goldwater, one of conservatism's patron saints, would just as soon piss on W as shake his hand. When he was alive, Goldwater already saw that the conservative movement was getting perverted beyond hope and made many statements to that end. The ideologues in charge now were too out there even for Barry.
And you argue that conservatives think. But it is hard to refute the fact that there is running through the so-called conservative's mindset a major attitude of "I don't care."
You've displayed it many times just here in comments. You don't care about anyone but yourself and the people you personally know. Conservatives in general often make it known that they don't give a rat's ass about anyone outside the U.S. they don't care about people who have come here from other countries, (immigrants), they don't care about other religions other than Christianity, and warp even that almost beyond recognition to justify their views which at best could be described as uncharitable towards others, and most definitely intolerant of different beliefs.
Conservatives don't care about what happens to a black guy in the slums who is hooked on heroin. Conservatives don't give a shit what happens to white trash Joe and his pregnant wife when something happens to their kid and they can't afford health care because Joe works at Wal-mart and Jolene his wife works cleaning a laundromat part time. Screw 'em! I got mine, to hell with them.
That is the attitude coming through loud and clear.
And every day you have an army of vile little creeps talking to you on the AM dial and in millions of books telling you it's just A-OK to feel that way.
I think it's disgusting and is truly dragging this country down.
By the way, glad to hear your newest arrival is apparently healthy and keeping you busy. If you can manage to deftly avoid diaper duty most of the time, (of course you need to do it sometimes, so at least you can say you do) the rest is heaven.
You ought to e-mail me a picture I could put up on the site. All babies are cute. (or at least no one would dare say otherwise.)
