Preechr, I support causes. Sometimes this involves me supporting progressive or conservative agendas. Like Plato says, the fault of not caring about politics is that you invariably end up ruled by your inferiors.

I supported Bush against Gore for a variety of reasons. I didn't think he could impose as much damage as he has, and I expected him to at least alleviate the problems abounding in our abortion policies. I gave him and his ilk a chance, and once he fucked it up and I was of age to vote I sided with a Democratic douchebag named Kerry. I've discussed a number of present issues going on with the Neoconservative movement with some of its loyal followers, who are or were very good friends of mine. Some of the times they seemed logically sound (albeit impractical or unrealistic), but what impressed me was that they were never the same as the hyped-up public reasons for those policies. I cannot in good conscience support a party founded on flagrant duplicity, even if mild duplicity is the foundation of all politics.

I throw that out because you seem to have me cut out as some kind of foaming-at-the-mouth liberal lemming. As for the backwards flattery, yes I can be prolix, but I don't think I've ever behaved in a deliberately pretentious way without some element of jest to justify it.
