Personally, I see no difference between "arse-hole" and what Sparko said. Not saying Sparko isn't justified in calling lao tzu one, nor will I weigh in on whether or not it should be allowed (should definitely be avoided and used sparingly though). Just saying I see no difference between the two words at all.

As to the veterans thing ... *snort*
Yes, I am. And so was my dad, who also served in WWII, and also landed on the beach on D-Day.
And so was my grand-dad, who served in WWI. I was with him at the Palmer House in Chicago when he handed over the Last Man's Cup from Ambulance Company 129 to the National Archives.
I could keep on going, back through the Revolutionary War, because, as it so happens, I'm an American veteran from at least as long a line of American veterans as anyone here, and almost certainly longer.
Folks wanting to play the veteran's card to score cheap political tricks need to get over the fact that it's not a partisan brickbat to use for bashing the Commander in Chief.
And it sure the hell shouldn't be used for doing so on D-Day.
Unless you're the National Review.
*smirk*

Speaking of being respectful on DDay:

Obama's a prince. How much hate and racism can one hold in their heart to criticize this paragon of perfection?"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I actually don't read as much as you might think, or as much as I probably should. I check Fox and Townhall occasionally, but I really don't read much in terms of news. It's all just so dadgum repetitive and disheartening.
There's not much I can recommend for you, then. You could try the BBC for a reasonably objective view of American Politics. Their North America Editor, Mark Mardell writes regularly on the U.S., and is likely to appeal to a run-of-the-mill conservative.
As ever, Jesse
