That says a lot for Third Party Watch’s support for free speech. It also says something about Mr. Gordon.”

I just found the message in question in the spam trap and approved it.

Hey folks, I’m a hothead! I was in the “service” in an era that didn’t see any action. I am therefore unqualified to speak on behalf of any active duty soldier, particularly ones that actually saw combat and happened to have donated to Ron Paul; I am in essence nothing but a military welfare queen. Thank you President Reagan, I would kiss your mummified nutsack if I could, for my sweet do-nothing money. Just to prove how DEDICATED I was to my country, I only served the minimum stint in the military.”

LOL!

Yes Andy, I am referring to the same Founding Fathers who kicked the living crap out of the Islamo-Fascists of the early 18th Century, otherwise known as the Barbary Pirates.”

There is a BIG difference between attacking the Barbary Coast Pirates and the war in Iraq and that is that the Founders didn’t occupy the Barbary Coast and slaughter thousands of innocents.

For the record:

You won’t catch me voting for John McCain for President. Unless he nominates a super duper VP candidate like Sarah Palin, Butch Otter, Mark Sanford, JC Watts, et.al.”

Why would you not vote for John McCain when on the issues he’s basically in-line with Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romeny? Is it just because of his age? Are you really that superficial that you wouldn’t vote for somebody due to their age?

Hey ‘Patriot’ is that you Paulie Frankel? Using a clever little on-line name like the losing team for the Super Bowl? Do you honestly believe nobody would see through that? You could have been more original, like say ‘Packer’ or ‘Steeler’ or ‘Charger.’”

Eric is starting to see a Paulie behind every bush! LOL!

After posting it, the message “awaiting moderation” appeared next to my name. Then the message vanished. I get censored and Dondero doesn’t?

That says a lot for Third Party Watch’s support for free speech. It also says something about Mr. Gordon.

Of the veterans here, how many of you share Eric’s attitude? I’m guessing Eric is vastly out of touch with the military.

Umm, Scotty-pooh. Being a “hyper-nationalist” IS PRECISELY WHAT LIBERTARIANISM IS ALL ABOUT!

Definition of Libertarianism according to wikipedia:

Libertarianism is a collection of political philosophies possessing a common theme of individual liberty. Libertarianism’s ideals, although often varied in detail, typically center around policies in favor of allowing extensive personal liberties, rejection of communism and socialism in favor of individual ownership and control, personal responsibility and charity rather than welfare statism, and also theorize either limiting or entirely eliminating the power and scope of government with the purpose of maximizing individual liberty.

Definition of Nationalism, also according to wiki:

is a term referring to a doctrine[1] or political movement[2] that holds that a nation—usually defined in terms of ethnicity or culture—has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny.[3] Most nationalists believe the borders of the state should be congruent with the borders of the nation.[4] Extreme forms of nationalism, such as those propagated by fascist movements in the twentieth century, hold that nationality is the most important aspect of one’s identity and attempt to define the nation in terms of race or genetics.

I’m sorry friend, but libertarianism is not congruent with “hyper-nationalism”. “hyper-nationalism sounds more like fascism.

Just in case you have questions on the definition of fascism:

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers the individual subordinate to the interests of the state, party or society as a whole. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, racial, religious attributes. The key attribute of fascism is intolerance of others: other religions, languages, political views, economic systems, cultural practices, etc. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, autocracy and opposition to political and economic liberalism”
