Dick Cheney - Voted against embargo against Apartheid South Africa

Elliott Abrams - Covered up for El Salvador after the El Mozote Massacre, now works in the State Department

Donald Rumsfeld - Who can forget the infamous handshake with oh, what was his name, oh yeah, Saddam Hussein?

1. not really, but there's this kid on wikipedia I've encountered who believes that Bush is the best
thing to happen to the world, ever. it's kind of funny to watch him edit things and the way he reacts, first it's all bold, and then when someone calls his bullshit he immediately asks for forgiveness and even starts kissing their ass.

2. I know quite a few of them.
Even recently I has someone tell me, to my face, that the only reason Iraq isn't working is because the Iraqis aren't ready for freedom. Her attitude was that George Bush is a visionary, our troops are heroes (on that we agree), but the Iraqis just don't appreciate the wonderul gift we are handing them.

3. I've wondered that too
although I've seen freeper-types cheer the overthrow of democratically elected leftist leaders more than once.

They want to spread freedom as long as it's the right kind of freedom...

5. Yes. I call them right wing wacko nutjobs
These same people also believe that:

1) there is no global warming, but even if there was, it is caused by nature, not man made at all. Since it is caused by nature, nothing can be done about it. The policies that are suggested to counter global warming would put us back into the stone age.

2) If people are starving somewhere, let nature take its course. It is their penalty for not being successful and rich enough.

I work with the mother of a soldier in Iraq. She does the IM thing with him weekly and gives us all updates or what she likes to call, The TRUTH.

We are making progress. The Iraqi's do really want us there. He was stopped in the street the other day and told that we can't leave or they will all die.

Oops, edit...that does not mean that Bush is spreading freedom around the world...just that there is a lot of belief in our office that we are spreading or assisting freedom in Iraq...not that I agree....
