The right seems to have cornered the market on shit-slinging and religious fanaticism, at least MOST on the left are TRYING to offer a molecule of grace.....
i'm not quite sure where you got this. most likely you've been paying a little too much attention to the msm as they attempt to convince us all that baby bush is the epitome of conservative thought and that socialist dogma is the only way to save our sinking ship. that molecule of grace that you see in the left is perfectly exemplified by miss moffitt's oh so gracious description of mccain's running mate (quoted below, just in case you've already forgotten it), the same description that is echoed across the left in order to belittle her.
if you're so worried about religious fanaticism, you might not be so enamored of the left. the fervor with which they embrace their pseudo-marxist philosophy of nationalizing business and forcing the redistribution of wealth can best be described as religious in nature. their deity is the
illusion of equality, their gospel is a perverse combination of mao's little red book and the edited opinions of our enemies and competitors, their temple is the corrupted halls of the u.n., and their creed is the acceptance of failure and mediocrity.
People like Vi and Cc are gonna make it so it is so easy for us to slide into fascism, they are incorporating totalitarian tendencies more and more......
while both vi and cc are a bit over the top at times (who among us is not guilty of that sin?), they both embrace the exact opposite of the totalitarianism you so fear. they are proponents of a system that has afforded us unparalleled freedoms and the capacity for success and excellence. while i won't even bother to refute your misuse of the term "fascism", i feel i should comment on the true road to totalitarianism.
the successful would-be despot does not tell the people that he is enslaving them, he convinces them that they are being abused and that he has the solution for their woes. he does not openly restrict the rights of a free people, he chooses small wealthy groups to blame and allows the envy of the masses to enable him to make those small groups pay for his rise. he champions the downtrodden because mob sentiment is the surest way to power and they will never have the strength to challenge his own. to placate them, he feeds his mob scraps from what he has stolen and uses the lion's share to built his fortress. once firmly ensconced in his seat of power, with a willing mob to do his bidding, he is free to further ransack the treasuries of lesser powers and use the power of those funds to destroy the very freedoms he claimed to have set out to protect.
does any of this sound familiar, we are seeing the beginnings of it at this very moment.
.....not liking Palin at all. I just see her as a bimbo.....
thanks for showing us your true colors. the pettiness of both the left and the right has ceased to amaze me, now it only amuses me.
I'm sick of the fat cats in office, regardless of what color they are. I'm ready for a candidate that wants to help the average citizen, not kiss the asses of corporate heads.
then who will you vote for or will you join me in denying them all?
I'm not in love with Obama, but I know for sure I want nothing to do with the belief system that turns out people like Vi and Cc.
so; since you dislike a couple of folks on an internet forum, you'll vote for someone you know will do his best to turn the country into a socialist slum? the system you so despise is the same as the one that has given you a choice in your life.
