Then of course there is the content of his comment...<BR/>This would-be intellectual writes with little knowledge of basic grammar or ability to spell; I assume that's because his (or her?) rage is such that they takes little time to asses what's been written; the point here is just to rant against what I see as truth. Then wildly prejudges all so-called neo-conservatives (whatever they are) into some category he’d like to see go away. So much for tolerance.<BR/>Your definition of Neo-conservatism is in quotes but you credit nobody for it…<BR/>Proper names, sir, are capitalized in proper English; perhaps this is your second language and are unaware of that?<BR/>Sentences begin with capitals, too.<BR/>Your reference to “… lacking little piece her.” I should assume you mean ‘here’ but I hesitate to make assumptions?<BR/>The first person singular pronoun is also capitalized; but maybe that’s also a window into the soul of an anonymous poster?<BR/>As to my Nom de Plume, Wikipedia sums it up well in their description of the Jonny Depp character in the movie adaptation of Sleepy Hollow, “Ichabod's most notable traits in the movie include an ahead-of-his-time liking for post-mortem examinations and scientific methods as well as being very quirky.” A vanity of mine, if you must know; but a shameless one.<BR/>It would be better, I think, if anyone wishes to post a comment, if they would be a bit more specific when denigrating my ill-formed opinions. I do research and do not simply grab words and phrases out of the air. If there are errors in my assumptions or opinions, please highlight those specifically so that I might investigate further. Upon rereading what I wrote here, however, I stand by what I said as factual and informed. Perhaps you should reevaluate your opinions?<BR/>I do moderate comments here and decided that this one was so indicative of what I’ve been saying about liberals that it is worth having as an example. Please, if someone finds some coherence in it, by all means post a comment on it and enlighten us all; I’ll surely allow it (as long as it does not include a political endorsement for any particular candidate.) My blog is not intended for that purpose. So far, those are the only ones that I’ve blocked; blockheads have a right to be heard, too!Ichabod Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302534837224133819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317461.post-55029078917685897682008-01-09T02:56:00.000-05:002008-01-09T02:56:00.000-05:00A major goal of Neo-conservatism is "to make criti...A major goal of Neo-conservatism is <BR/>"to make criticism from the Right acceptable in the intellectual, artistic, and journalistic circles where conservatives had long been regarded with suspicion."<BR/>you, my dear ichabod crane, have written an ill-informed and decidedly lacking little piece her. Artistically and in journalistic terms you ostracize anyone who holds any less wild and unwarranted beliefs as yourself. <BR/>Good work though, you send a clear message about the striking impotence of neo-conservatism to anyone who perseveres to the dreary end of your tirades.<BR/>and, because i am curious...Ichabod Crane?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317461.post-25475708331139761992007-12-22T22:49:00.000-05:002007-12-22T22:49:00.000-05:00I regret to inform that I have rejected a couple o...I regret to inform that I have rejected a couple of comments here, not for their content as such but because all they were were ads for a candidate and/or commercial advertisements.<BR/>Everyone is welcome to comment on the content of my blogs but nobody is welcome to hawk a candidate (of any party) or outright commercialism. Sorry, that's not what I made this blog-site for.<BR/>One individual, with whom I have exchanged thoughts did leave a rather nice comment on another of my blogs and sneaked in an endorsement at the end. I allowed it but added a disclaimed after his comment about that.<BR/>Please stick to the point; we are bombarded constantly with political ads for candidates in the longest election cycle in history via every venue available. This one isn't; just stick to the issue on the blogs, OK? Thank you.<BR/>I am sure your candidate is the one you'd like to see elected; for me, I'm more interested in seeing a couple of them not elected: Billary and Edwards on the left and a couple on the right. I'll be posting a blog about the ones on the right that I don't feel would make a good president soon. People can comment on them at that time, if they like; but just stick to the points covered. All candidates, except the two mentioned here, have good points; we'll discuss their bad points, the things that the democrats will massacre them on, allowing the democrat's candidate to get into the White House. Soon, OK?Ichabod Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302534837224133819noreply@blogger.com
