Quick vote: who thinks I should have to respond to the guy who holds me personally responsible for Pol Pot and Janet Reno's raid in Waco? I'm willing if you think I should.
Rick
Why don't you answer my 2 above instead......Libs who grew up cushy like you never want to deal with conservatives who made it on their own like me.
Perhaps it's not YOU, Rick Perlstein, the poster holds responsible...but the people and the party you defend?
I say answer the question. That's my vote.
Why not? We do. I'm personally responsible for the cruel rape of Lucrecia.
For the same reason you hold individual conservatives responsible for dragging James Byrd to his death and Abu Ghraib prison.
The only difference between you and me is that I can unreservedly condemn the human debris and their beliefs who commited those acts and you still dig the murdering socialists who brought you Pol Pot and Waco....
If you are here for the rare treat of a serious discussion between the two sides, then you shouldn't need to even ask. Don't bother with the doofuses, respond intelligently and affirmatively to the real questions, and be sincere. That alone would make this thread a keeper.
I used to be young and stupid and leftist, read the Village Voice as often as I could find it. Back then your gay writer Richard Goldstein was in the closet and covered rock and roll and still had some hair on his noggin. I even had to pay for it, I understand the VV is free now in NYC.
I'm assuming you are Jewish by your name. American Jews should be supporting George Bush for many reasons. Including his support of Israel. Shame on all Jews who go leftist, even culturally leftist. It's just so darn easy and lazy. Just like all the intellectually lazy actors in Hollyweird. The alliance between the left and the Islamics is very troubling.
It's interesting how the leftists always support the primitive barbarians when they assault the Jews of Israel. You all are in love with some mad ideal of the noble savage that you see in these Muslims. Admit it, you are in awe of them since they have no doubts. Right, Just give them Gaza and the West Bank for a Paleostinian state and they'll stop their terror and live in peace. What a laugh. You have no idea how often Mohammed sanctioned lying to non-Muslims in the Koran.
What did you think when Israel took out Sheik Yassin and Rantizi of Hamas with rockets fired from IAF helicopters? Do you know what the IAF is?
Do you support the antics of ISM and Rachel Corrie in Israel? Do you understand they are terrorist enablers? That they never ride the busses in Jerusalem to deter suicide bombings. Instead they rail at Israel's security fence and interfere in IDF operations. May of the ISM people are leftist Jews who sneak into Israel by lying about their purpose there.
What is your opinion of Janet Reno's raid on Waco, btw?
