No one invited you to attack me either, so you are not impressing anyone with talk about YOU being "baited", when it was YOU who was baiting ME with abuse without any specific reference to anything I had said. > What am I supposed to conclude when you attack me with generalities like "conservative", "pro-Bush, "from a right-wing standpoint", other than that you are "liberal", "anti-Bush" and "from a left wing standpoint"??? > I take offense when anyone, from behind the cover of the internet, makes non-specific, generalized and abusive comments about my bias or political standpoint without referring to any post, or comment or opinion they have expressed. I do not take offense when someone disagrees with something I have specifically said and says so with specific facts and opinions of their own. > Finally, if you have a problem with President Bush leading a coalition that is risking their lives to provide an opportunity for 50 million Afghans and Iraqis to experience freedom and democracy, why don't you explain to us exactly why you would oppose freedom and democracy for these oppressed Muslims? If supporting their liberation is "conservative", "pro-Bush" and "right wing" I proudly plead guilty.
