I’m just saying that he hasn’t gotten a darn thing right in years so why listen to him now? </p> <p>Unless ……… you got a line on a bookie who will take political bets.

They seem to have grouped under false pretenses so as to share justifications for judging, condemning, and vilifying others. Who would choose to be judged, condemned, and vilified for one’s choices. Christ did not even speak out against those who judged, condemned, or hung him from on a cross. The answer to the question, “What would Jesus do?” is always the same: Jesus would do the gracious thing, choosing for others only as he would choose for himself. His life demonstrated this in every detail. Were it that his followers would gather to remember the obvious rather than refute it. What part of ‘Judge not and neither condemn’ is unclear?</p> A crucial thing to note is that so-called ‘values’ Christians are blatant hypocrites in that they claim to emulate the most gracious man who ever walked the face of this planet with ungracious choices.

Why is it that conservative christians think they have the monopoly on “values”?

Er, Kristol is Jewish, but I hear ya.

With Straussian Neocon philosophy, we find that people like Kristol concern themselves with telling “noble lies” to the American people in order to serve their own elitist agenda. It’s a conscious, deliberate act on their part to discount the truth and reality. They don’t care that they engage in this sociopathic behavior and justify it to themselves as a viable philosophy.

Excellence as it pertains to the Neocon agenda. They equate their twisted, sick agenda with excellence.
