I have never seen a southern bar where people throw rocks at each other and then go home. As a scot/irish/cherokee I see the world through a clear lens, not rose colored glasses.
There is the way it should be, all nations holding hands and singing one for all and all for one, then there is the way it really is. Man, especially political leaders are given to elitism, lust for power, and control over their masses.
For example as with Islam the radical clerics say, "don't blame us for your poverty and ignorance, just because we punish free thought, disparage reading unacceptable books, that might shake the foundations of our power, it's the evil Americans holding you down, it's God testing you to see if you can win your rightful place as kings of the world".
Liberals would have us believe that everyone in the world is just like us, we think alike, and if the greed factor can be tapped into, we will all behave alike. That is insane thinking and this election has upset them far more than the nuciance of 9-11.
Elite liberals and radical Islamics share the same doctrine, any lie, theft, or murder, that promotes their agenda is fair, they know best what is better for the average man than the average man does, and they feel no quams about forceing it on him even if it means a knife at the throat, and all their high sounding causes mask a tool that can be used to wrest power from the idividual.
Bottom line, they have no compassion, they have guilt trips that until recently has worked to their advantage and increased their power, until finally they have demanded too much. They have demanded tolerance of their intolerance, they have demanded that individuals lay down the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, and embrace their hellish paradise of surfs and nobility.
I also saw on another site a few weeks ago, a door-knocker was saying that Saturday and Sunday they were having a hard time getting people to talk to them because people were watching football games. So this person says to get about 4 or 5 guys together "all wearing Kerry pins, and go to a bar to watch the game. You don't even have to like football, but just smile and laugh and have a good time, and during commercials toast John Kerry. This will effect people seeing all of you having fun and they will ask questions. Be sure to have Kerry pins and pamphlets to hand out".
Stupidest thing I ever heard. I told some of my football buddies about this and we laughed until we cried...all game long we kept saying is that table the kerry fairies? Is that table the kerry fairies? If any would have showed up we would have been merciless until they had to leave in disgrace.
James Webb was interviewed by a local libertarian-anti-Iraq-War talk show host. All the historical immigration data sounded fascinating. I stopped listening just at the time when it sounded like he might be getting ready to agree with the host on the Iraq War, so I really don't know what Webb's thoughts are about the war.
Very true, xp38:
Though, I still think his best were "Radical Chic" and "Jousting with Charley and Sam".
The first gave me another reason to dispise Leonard Bernstein's chumminess with The Black Panthers. While I recognized sections of "Jousting" in his later, "Right Stuff".
Now I need to dig up my copy of "The Tangerine Flake, Streamlined Baby".
Jack.
I'll take a look for it at the library. Webb was always an iconoclast, so I wouldn't be shocked to find out he was against the war now.
