I am pleased to announce that our new blogger from the left will be Bobby McGee. Many of you are familiar with him from his comments around the site.
Also, we are adding Chris MC as a nonpartisan "issues" blogger. He will be exploring many vital issues in-depth in his postings, and we are glad to have his expertise.
Welcome to both!

Way too much censorship going on by the Republican moderators, btw. The right-wingers hanging out here can post anything, no matter how nasty
YOU post endless comments using the phrase "neo-con" and we all know what that really means don't we?
Yet when I called you on it my comment was censored.
Apparently posting carefully coded antisemitic messages (which I believe you do) is quite alright while posting a criticism of such posts is not.
Then of course you've got the chutzpah to call me racist.
Please, be my guest, go on.....(flipping through my rolodex for my JDL contacts...)
I agree with truebluect on this point - don't censor his posts (or anyone's posts) for vulgarity or meanness. Feel free to censor them for stupidity, however. Of course, that would effectively bar truebluect from ever have his comments posted!
I welcome Chris McC with open arms -- if for no other reason than how much it clearly bothers DeanFan84!

I am a staunch Zionist. America should do whatever it takes to guarantee the future and security of the Jewish state. Period.
Then why do you repeatedly use a phrase which is widely accepted as a code-term for the most vile anti Jewish slur?
Here's what others say:
When a member of the enlightened classes, or Pat Buchanan, makes reference to a ‘neocon,’ what he’s saying is ‘yid.’ That’s right ‘neoconservative,’ particularly in its shortened form, when employed by a nonconservative (or by Buchananites) and therefore meant derogatorily, is the modern, albeit more specific, word for ‘kike’ that the left can say – and it has been doing so liberally ever since American conservatism became yet something else that Jews have managed to benefit from – the conquered final frontier of Jewish manipulation."
Thus for someone claiming to be a Zionist you make as much sense to me as a Black signing up with the KKK.
Apparently you also failed to notice the 50K per that Saddam was paying the families of Hama's homicide bombers stopped upon our invasion.
Were we not in Iraq, Israel would have had to do something, and I don't think that "something" would have included putting anyone on the ground, but rather Baghdad would no longer exist.
Have you no soul?
Why would you wish that on people already abused by a dictator?
Why was I censored for making a point about True Gent's comment? Nazi Germany lives on CTLP!
ACR,
Don't be paranoid.
I know it's all the rage among neocons these days to claim that liberals who criticize neocons are hateful anti-Semites. But you can repeat that silliness all you want and it still won't be true.
"Neocon" really is nothing more than shorthand for "neoconservative," a real and distinct branch of conservative ideology. Sure there are leaders of the modern neoconservative movement who are Jewish. There are also plenty of Christian neocons as well. (Vice President Cheney comes immediately to mind.)
The word is no more a derogatory anti-Semitic code word than it is a derogatory anti-Christian code word. Personally, I use neocon as derogatory shorthand when referring to "movement conservatives." I find this a lot simpler than constantly using the phrase "paranoid, lunatic fringe, right-wing whack jobs."
Grumpy-
No sale.
If you use "neo-con" you'd just as soon use "kike" and you and I both know it.
You're either a bigot or you're not.
Period.
Congrats to Chris MC...a sensible choice and a great choice
I still think you need a Real Harda** Conservative on here too many Lefty Liberals and not enough conservatives.
