When you object to something I say I know I'm on the right track.
Thanks!
The more I learn about his record the more I would agree with your remark.
And yet we see a river of tears and mealy-mouthed feel-good pap spouted for him here at FR.
Creepy...
Thanks!
But -be forewarned- sinkspur is going to see this and say something bad about your mother...
Steve Allen was a liberal and was a hell of a NICE GUY. I met him once. Allen didn't put on any celebrity airs. He even whipped out a small tape recorder and asked me for my name and address. I gave it to him and soon afterwards I received a nice letter from him. We exchanged letters back and forth for a few months after that. Nice guy. BTW, I didn't discuss politics with him but he was so interesting that we had lots of other things to talk and write about.
Wellstone fought for policies and programs (misguided though they were). Some of you seem to be arguing that he was an evil PERSON because of his beliefs.
Boy that makes sense (SARCASM OFF). Wellstone was the happy warrior who didnt say a bad thing about any one else and could defend his positions and then leave the Senate floor and share a drink with his opponent.
Stalin on the other hand was a Communist in name only. He was an authoritarian dictator who would kill his own mother to retain power. He was mean spirited, conniving, and everything was done for his benefit alone. Yeah thats a great comparison.
Wellestone was a far left-wing socialist. Such ilk are anti-capitalism, anti-freedom bigots who want to impose their politically-correct values on Americans.
They support America's enemies, believe Castro is a brilliant communist leader who has made Cuba a shining example of what our country COULD BE LIKE if only they they had total power to implement their communist policies.
Terrorists come in many guises. Some point a gun at you. Some sit in Washington as liberal Senators and attempt to dismantle the U.S. Constitution. Some fly airplanes into buildings. Some prevent a President from filling Federal judgeships. Some live in caves in Afghanistan. Some live Hyannis and sip champagne while spouting tritisms about conservatives wanting to kill old people and poison the water and the air, of killing social security.
Paul Wellstone was a terrorist, as certainly as if he had been driving around Washington in a two-toned blue Caprice and murdering people. He just did it in front TV cameras in $2,000 suits, to a fawning socialist public who are too craven to take personal responsibility for their miserable lives and want people like Wellstone and Leahy and Kennedy to be their government sugar-daddies from the cradle to the grave.
My only regret? That Daschle wasn't with him. The only people who will miss Wellestone's politics are the people who want to destroy this country and build their own Peoples Republic of the United Socialist States of Amerika!
Both are prostitues selling something that should be dear to them.
You say he was a happy warrior, was he on some sort of pyscho tropic drug?
You are one sick puppy, or should I say pit bull. Its people like you who eventually move on to assasinate their opponents. It's only logical and moral. Bet you are fundamentalist Christian too?
similar destruction occured in China during the 'cultural revolution' and under the communist regime of pol pot. And of course practically every communist country under soviet or chinese orbit, including Cuba up until today, jailed dissidents and political freedom-fighters.
Not that I disagree with you, buy you overlooked the point I was making. There is a very obvious dichotomy that exists between a liberal like Wellstone and a conservative like Reagan. I am a pro-life conservative, so you're talking to the choir. In politics, however, it serves no good purpose to take things so personal, if clouds your better judgment. If you allow allow your emotions to rule over your intellect, you're dead meat.
And Stalin, put the individual, HIMSELF, above the state and the collective. He may have followed Communist ideology but his devotion was to self, not the growth of Communism or the benefit of the workers. People are expendable under any dictatorship when they are a threat to the dictator.
Sage advice, unfortunately too few on this thread seem to be heeding it.
The clinton snake, Carvile, tried to make the statement that republican appointed moderate judges (read less socialist judges, socialist/activist being the type the democrats desire on the SCOTUS) would result in not protecting women. That is the type of demaogoguery that Wellstone used regularly. Abortion, especially in late term, is serail killing sanctioned and forwarded by the democrat party as 'women's health' or a 'protection for women'. 99% of abortions are just seemy murder of an unborn individual human being, with no applicability to protecting a woman. That type of sick, twisted demagoguery is disgusting and typical of the Carvile snake, but it pervades the despotic democrat party and dribbles out of some republicans as political manuevering. [It was so pleasant to watch Newt dissect the snake of clintonism despite Russert's efforts to allow carvile hit and runs on the truth.]
Reagan Man, 'If you allow allow your emotions to rule over your intellect, you're dead meat' ... try me, bub. My intellect carries far more regarding the issues of abortion on demand than the average pol would care to read. I get emotional boost from warring against sanctioned serial killing of the most innocent individual human beings in our nation. My emotion doesn't overrule my intellect, it feeds to it the energy to carry on against overwhelming sadness for the little ones lost to PC bullsh!t. Wellstone championed serialized murder, for political expedience, probably. But what if he really believed it is okay to murder the unborn? There are too numerous despotic democrats that do believe that and they enlist uninformed voter support to continue the holocaust.
