I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Did you have a problem with Rice, outside of being an "Obama crony", 4 months ago or is this all still about Benghazi?

Never liked her.  Way too interventionist & doesn't really seem to factor our national interests into her views on foreign policy.  She's an attractive woman and all, but I don't see anything else positive in her.

He was dead right about Assad being a reformer, wasn't he?  :lol:
What's wrong with that statement?  Seems like Syria is going through a ton of changes at this moment.

I don't think even he knows.

I don't know, when it comes to Rice, you definitely give off the vibe of someone who has been whipped up into a random frenzy.

I and plenty others saw that as a foolish statement to make at the time.  Now it looks much worse.

I could be wrong, I guess.  I assume that eventually that has to happen sometime.

I don't know, maybe Republican propaganda from 2004 got to me, but Kerry doesn't strike me as much of, well, anything.

He was dead right about Assad being a reformer, wasn't he?  :lol:

But anyway I'm okay with him as SoS, knowing there could be worse.

The only thing Kerry's ever done right was snag a rich wife.  I'd rather have had Rice at State.  Heck, I'd rather have the decaying corpse of Cyrus Vance back in the office.

Unlike, say, the politicians that went after her, and that you support.  :lol:

Well, maybe she'll find a traditional gender role that you'll like.

You do realize a lot of opposition to her came from your side of the aisle, don't you?

Yeah, there's still time.
