Re:I won't defend it nor would any true conservati (Score 1)

I beg to differ. Bush is nothing like Sulla. Yes, Sulla thought he single-handedly saved the nation. But in fact, he did. As a brilliant General he was victor in the wars in Italy "the Social Wars" which in fact pacified Italy and save Rome and the Republic from possible extinction, or at the very least a massive amelioration of their power. Yes Sulla was a dictator, etc. but he was actually brilliant personally and DID save the republic initially. Bush has not actually defended the USA from anything, isn't a brilliant person or general. The deference shown to Sulla (which enabled him to continue as virtual dictator) was in gratitude for saving the Republic.
