    I'm confused. What N word did the NAACP bury? National?

    Central Illie, the definition of a liberal can be about 80 percent defined by the responses to me.

    You're such a tragic victim too.

    I don't know how you manage with so many liberal scourges around here to torment you. Even the other conservatives here are really liberals in sheep's clothing apparently.

    I can definitely live without hearing the N word again, but I think it will be rising from the dead soon enough.

    It might, for instance, be resurrected as a signifyer, or to mock racism.

    But we'll get the appropriate outrage from (suddenly victimized white) folks. You know, the people who won't admit the existence of a figurative aspect to language systems, or don't use irony, sarcasm, metaphor, hyperbole, simile, etc.

    Because if the Klu Klux Klan uses it, and Mos Def uses it, it MEANS the same thing.

    Sheep all right. If you're trying to masquerade as a conservative, I'd like one instance where you told FenPhen he was a foof.

    I never said I was a conservative per se, but you won't find me siding with the president on any of this illegal immigration amnesty either.

    Of course, when you called Mighty Wingman a liberal the other day, I had to shake the cobwebs out, being that he's one of the more honest conservatives you can come across.

    Newfoundland. Maybe, just maybe.....someday, the NAACP will get over its hatred of Canuckistanis.

    Now if you want to talk amnesty and immigration, I'm game. I said I was a conservative, not a corporate slime. And if there were less corporate slime manipulating the lobbies of D.C., this immigration problem would be a non-issue.

    Assigning oneself the tag of "conservative" or "liberal" without delimiters makes one a caricature.
