Re: Ditto Ray, you should think outside your birkenstocks for a change.

Ouch, what an insult. I've never owned a pair of Birkenstocks in my entire life. Generally, I scoff at the sort of muddle-headed "libruls" who wear these things. I understand they are comfortable and I'm reminded of a joke a Secretary of Agriculture once told, but let's not go there...

Re: GET RID OF YOUR LABEL MAKER. Never, you dictator! [Agitprop is best served raw, with plenty of name-calling as a key ingredient in the message mix.]

Re: Don't you understand that by labeling everyone and everything by your narrow ideological definitions you're practicing bigotry?

Thank you, thank you very much.

Re: Stop categorizing people and start thinking about individual issues in a rational, logical way.

If you use the SI Wayback machine, you'll see that I've been part of this community since 1998. I've tried rational, logical.... I've tried dealing with individual issues.... Hell, I've even tried being diplomatic.

But I gotta tell ya, Geode, the only thing that works is rilin' people up. Agitation, that's the key. Make their blood boil. It's some of the best fun a rabble-rouser can have in a quasi-dictatorship like George Bush's Orwellian nightmare.

Remember, Garrison Keillor said, "Satire, kids, is your sacred duty as Americans. Be funny. Poke them cows and make them moo."

If I want to categorize George Bush as a malevolent con artist, I can't for the life of me see why you'd object.

Re: You're just as cement-headed as the right-wing. You're not as well armed.....

Excuse me, but in realm of logomachy, I beg to differ.

And I do take exception to your puerile characterization of my agitprop as being cement-headed. In most quarters, the term is willfully determined.

If you namby-pambly "libruls" would ever take the cement shoes off, you'd actually be useful political actors.

As it stand today, Karl Rove laughs at you, in all you muddle headed "I'm a liberal, conservative and libertarian" glory. A man who stands for everything stands for nothing.
