    I'd like to like him but I can't tell if he is on my side or not. I wish I could make up my mind. They interviewed some guys out in gun country and asked them what they thought about alqeda while sitting at the coffee shop and they said in their accent, "That's what I'd be doing if what is happening over there ever happened here."

    Instead of deciding to like someone based on what side they are on, why not start with just deciding whether you like their argument or not?

    Well I don't want to like something and then later find out it is liberal.

    I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not. But if you aren't, then you really need to re-examine your moral fiber.

    at anyrate, understanding why your enemy hates you is probably not unpatriotic

    I'm not sure, but I don't think this is the one where he says, "religion should be taxed." Probably the the most logical, smartest thing any one has ever said, short of, "give me liberty or give me death." I mean, we tax alcohol. Where is the logic in that? But we don't tax religion??? Where is the logic in that?

    Vidal did an interview with Infowars. It was probably just to take advantage of their good name, but still...

    It's on youtube.
