The celebrated urbane and polysyllabic intellect of the late Mr Buckley

[struggle4progress]

as illustrated by his silver-tongued rational rebuttal of Mr Vidal at the Democratic convention in 1968: Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-nazi or I'll sock you in your Goddamn face and you'll stay plastered

1. My dear struggle4progress...

Although I did not admire his conservative ideas...

I did admire his use of the English language!

As per your example...

Thank you for posting that!

Only proves that you can be very smart and still be an asshole.

3. There is a complete lack of dignity and honor on this forum

Perhaps I've chosen not to donate any longer to DU ... I don't care any longer about my "little gold star". I can't afford to donate to KOS ... therefore, I cannot participate in his polls (or, how could you vote for whatever unless one contributes). I'm a lifelong Democrat; however, I am embarassed by the mass hysteria embraced by Oprah Winphrey supporters. I've had enough of the media ... Jack Jokefry, Wolf, Morning joe and his idiots Miki and Willie, Timmy PotatoHead daring to debate with Senator Clinton ... instead of realizing that his role is MODERATOR ... not her cheif opponent. Well, as a lifelong Democrat, I've had it with this place. I was angry in '04 ... supported Dean, then Kerry/Edwards. I've had my heart broken too many times by these idiot Dems. I was finally of age to vote for a President in 1972 ... my first vote for President and it sure as hell wasn't for Richard Nixon! Well, I've had my heart broken again. Lewis did it today for me.
