Thanks for the prompt and courteous reply. While you have exhibited the ability to divine my thought processes and character through a simple 14 word post, I don’t possess that talent; therefore further discussion would be useless. Have a good day.
Not at all: I responded to what you said and did not say. One would think that a traditional American would shudder upon hearing of calls to burn not only books but their readers as well, of nuking entire countries for the sin of professing a non-Christian belief. You did not. You were instead attracted to a secondary issue of whether Nazi and Communist book-burners enjoyed government approval.
And you are not alone: is there anyone on this thread who found this to be patently racist, bigoted and unAmerican?
I understand how unpleasant it may have been to read my previous post. But what am I supposed to feel? "Conservatives" on this forum routinely bash capitalism without even vague understanding of how it works. Just say "Goldman Sacks" and watch the fireworks --- content of what is said does not matter. On this very thread, someone openly professes racism and religious intolerance, and, instead of being appalled, the entire thread of "conservatives" is cheering the bigot!
Like Nero who was purportedly laughing when Rome burned, conservatives are laughing as America is burning. So, please forgive me for pointing out your indifference to bigotry and racism. I don't know how can be done without saying what it is.
You too have a good day. Perhaps we'll have a better discussion on some other thread.
