A nice editorial

[dean_acheson]

I'm still kinda in disbelief that somebody actually wrote this, and maybe means it.

I can't imagine hating my political opponents this much.....

Why reducing it to a matter of "hate"? You are not having some rethorical tactics on your mind, maybe...? :hmm:

This is true in an international context as well:

The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.

Very, very true.

Oh my gosh! What a hate monger.

Explain what your statement has to do with my quote from that editorial. :hmm:

[Skybird]

There is a couple of new jokes, they all begin like this: "Skybird, August and Subman meet on the forum. Said one of the guys: etc etc etc"

[SUBMAN1]

Well, I take it as a hate speech from this paper.

The good news is this guy is pretty much an idiot. What this guy failed to take into account is that the entire flat South East is heavily democrat (and should be over run as well - eliminating those democrat states), and these conservatives simply won't roll over and die, they will move North and take over his states! Since the Conservatives are experiencing a population increase across the board, and the liberals are experiencing massive population decrease, it won't be hard to take over any of these states and turn them red - SAVING AMERICA from these hate mongers!

What a bastard. He wants us all to die.

Well the part you bolded silly. It's "very, very true" according to you right?

I think anytime you wish that folks get kicked out of their homes, farms, and livelihoods, have to relocate, and then plan on keeping them as second class citizens, you are exhibiting either extreme bigotry, or irrational hate.

I'm shocked that you are shocked at my comments.

If I said, I hope that all gun control nuts get mugged and shot by robbers, and then I can spit on them while they lay on the sidewalk bleeding, wouldn't I deserve some condemnation for being extreme? I think so.

I think it's fairly obvious that this isn't meant in quite the serious fashion that some people are taking it.
Sure, there's an ugly sentiment at heart, but the premise is so outlandishly infantile to discount serious consideration.

Mein Kampf was so outlandishly infantile as to discount serious consideration as well. Until it happened that is...

Yes, totally true. He who has behaved and acted like an egoist and, irresponsible idiot, shall not be given power to cause a mess again.
I indeed consider it to be justified and reasonable to exclude people who have rejected to react to mounting threats from future power and decision making, since they have disqualified themselves for that responsibility. Note that the author as well as me says nothing against giving assistance and help and aid on a humanitarian level once desaster has come as a result from these foolish policies. Indeed, he encourages it. Only to bring the same idiots who prveented action while there was time - these idiots should not be given a second chance to implement their stupid policies again.

When you give shelter to refugees, or your neighbour whose house has burned down in the night before - you help him, but you do not wish him to take over your house and all yous possessions and manipulate your heating and gas tanks like he did with his own, do you.

Like Tchocky said, the author is not to be taken literally, but has shown an intention to illustrate the problem by thzinking a possible conseqeunce rigzht down to the end, and in a somewhat ironic way.

I have seen his website and read some comments before, but these comments tell more about the commentor than about the author. that he supports a movement to impeach bush and Cheney, also doe snot spoeak agaisnt him in my book - I wish for the same and consider bush ending his second term regularly as a great failure of the democratic system. that somebody is given the maximum of possible time to do damage on and on and attack basic democratic principles, hints at some basic safeties and design features not wokring well. If the sysstem would have worked so well - they would have been prohibited to normally fulfill their possible maximum of terms, and removed from power indeed.

Someday I'm going to create a new account called Godwin, and run around telling everyone they're worse than Hitler.
