You dovish Republicans...

[New Tolerance]

After listening to a speech by leading Objectivist, Leonard Peikoff. Who talked about US foreign policy. I've come to realize that Bush is actually a moderate leader.

Listen/Watch the speech here:

So, what do you have to say about this guy?

(and yes, of course I was kidding when I used the words dovish and soft)

Moderate as opposed to what ? The Republicans are too worried that if the troops are allowed to fire upon mosques (even though they are being fired at from mosques), they will be labelled "racist" and "anti-muslim".

Can you be be a bit more specific about it ? The damned thing is an hour long and I don't have an hour.

What? Your kidding right? I don't think the GOP is that afraid of liberals labelling them racist(especially since the elction is over anyways). It actually may have constrained them before the election though.

I think that what they were worried about is being seen attacking mosques in a country where every single person goes to mosque. To them, the mosque is at least as sacred as your home is to you. What would you do if someone attacked your house? Probably fight back, ya?

So, if they get every single person up in arms against them, that's kinda leaves them in between a rock and a hard place, no?

Rock on Ann Coulter, in a straight line.

'Moderate' as opposed to Leonard Peikoff.

Well, I'm not trying to make a point, I just thought that this video about Objectivism was interesting.
