<< ... when my wife asked me why i watch because it did make me sick and irritable, I answered because we need to know who the enemy is. >> What gave your wife reason to ask you that question? Where you "growling" at the screen, as I was? Actually, I also found it interesting. Back when I was a teenager, I went to an anarchist meeting. I didn't know what it was. While sitting there and looking around, I was actually a little frightened. The members were a dirty, hostile group of "gangster looking" people as I had ever seen. At that time, I was only interested in sex, drinking and sex, so I wasn't a prude. But, I got the hell out of there as fast as I could. The "pro Muslim dictatorship" demonstration in DC reminded me of that group. << ... but the left has adopted the Palestinian cause because they see zionism as a form of euro imperialism ... >> Empty heads with empty slogans. They view any type of creativity, or civilization, as imperialism. Give them a camel and a jar of valeline, and they'll go away.

I posted the other day when asked that i watch the Cspan thing as well and when my wife asked me why i watch because it did make me sick and irritable, I answered because we need to know who the enemy is. Mike, are you seriously calling the marchers, "the enemy." Seems to me it's one thing to disagree, even vigorously, with them. But quite another, and a very serious "another," to consider them the enemy. That way lies suppression of dissent. Not very American. . . .the left has adopted the Palestinian cause because they see zionism as a form of euro imperialism--hell they see US policy as a form of imperialism also. Care to make that more specific. Who, that you can cite on the left, has done this? And how do you manage to generalize those comments to a characterization of the "the left"? I would call this meeting under Vislamic control. All victims plus islamists=Vislamists. Suicide bombings are ok i guess in their world. Not in mine or yours i take it. mike I see, you are just funnin' with your friends. But, remember, Mike, there are others with quite different views on this thread. If you wish to post this stuff, please do so in PMs.
