This brings me to a very .. well. .. just a good ol thought
Listening to liberals cringe at the thought of Bono actually liking Jesse Helms, or Sec. O Neil.. or others in teh administration, brings me to a thought, something that I really have no real need to express, except just to get it on the record, for when other people accuse me of various positions or what not (The accusation of HATING palestinians comes to mind)..
When I read of Bono liking conservatives or rather.. Republicans, I don't think twice about it, (In the political context). . Maybe he likes these people, maybe he doesn't .. Either way it doesn't matter and to be honest, I dont' care.. I'm not here saying, "HOW COULD SEC O NEIL ACTUALLY LIKE HIM".. That is irrelevant.. At least in what Bono and the politicians are working for, What matters are Ideas.. That is how I look at things, Here in this forum, I wouldn't consider other people (Liberal Democrats) to be 'enemies', to be 'evil' or to be people I dislike.. What I do comment on, what I will make fun of (Unless a person is using 'smileys' or words like 'drivel' and 'pithy', or other excursions into the ROGETS.. then it's just begged for), and what I will drop virtual shits on are Ideas. Ideas I think are wrong, Ideas that I think need to be abandoned and punted in a nice swift drop kick.. Not the people that have these ideas.. just the ideas themselves.. And apparently Liberals just have the hardest time doing this, They can't.. Just check some of the Rush Limbaugh threads (Which people will respond by citing Michael Moore).. so I tell you to check the George W threads..
So with that, I maybe wanted to enlighten ya'll.. or maybe force ya to face it.. as to why you get so upset with Bono actually having 'friendly' feelings towards Conservatives, but that does not mean in any way that Bono shares teh same Ideas as these Conservatives.. Or maybe I'm just giving you guys and girls too much credit to think that that's the issue at hand, and not that you just really hate the fact taht Bono could like a 'conservative'... I mean, hell, I'm waiting for the time I can go out drinking with Zone Listener.. Hahah.. that'd be fun as hell.. but I guarantee you that here in this political forum we're going to be at each other's throats thumbing through our Thesaurus for the latest synonym of 'Pile of Shit'..
And you know.. I was thinking about this as I was just in the shower, and It's not just liberals.. Republicans do it as well (I say republicans to emphasize their Party first focus rather than Idea focus).. So Liberals are not the only ones to blame.. Shame on myself for even thinking of jumping into partisanship.
