Reply #14: Roberts is a Randoid... [View All]

Typical San Diego "Libertarian with Republican leanings" that passes for moderate around here. Started out "light" and took a moderately progressive stance back in 1997/98 as a balance to Roger Hedgecrook, but showed his true Randoid colors after the NeoCons started writing the playbook at Clear Channel and he didn't have to worry about playing the foil for Hedgecrook's Opus Dei blather.
His type loves the image the Shrub and his buddies show the public - those "Resolute, Quickly decisive Self-Made Compassionate Conservatives" (with lots of money and power as well as certitude, of course)that don't "nuance" or diplomatically compromise like those Quiche-eating, whiny Liberal Loonies that actually take time to consider the problems, have compassion and want to stop and help, rather than just judge and go on with their lives.
It's "too hard" for that type to think beyond their immediate sphere of influence. As long as the problems of the world are someone else's and far, far away from them - they're happy to pass judgment and/or ignore them.

Sad - I actually used to like him, for the most part. He used to have a sense of proportion and actually would spend some time investigating his issues. But, after Sept. 11th, he bought the whole NeoCon agenda (that, or Clear Channel sold him the bill o'goods in exchange for his soul)and drank the koolaid, probably thinking that turning off his brain would show he's a true patriot and "Real Amurican". I am truly disappointed in him, something I would never say about Hedgecrook or Limpballs, who never showed they ever had an ounce of understanding to begin with.
