They may even make laws against right wing stupidity. But ya know who will be front and center fighting for your right to post even the dumbest statement on this board ... the ACLU.

If people don't get in trouble for freely talking about the last time they got high (considering marijuana is illegal to possess or distribute), then neither should this guy.

I bet I could make millions selling T-shirts that say "I am a terrorist." What a numbnut. Meanwhile, I'm still looking for support from Patrat for his initial outrageous statement. In a previous post that was withdrawn he said the ACLU forced a school to punish a girl for wearing a Christian symbol. In reality this was a case of a girl in England--remember the American part of American Civil Liberties Union. She was disciplined for wearing her silver ring that magically repelled sexual advances. The school said it was against their dress code. The school won the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead, tell me you wouldn't toss all the Arabic looking men with beards, especially if there's more than one of them. So you're going to throw off all the people who look suspicious to you and now, by the above logic you're going to throw off all the people who don't look suspicious to you because they're even more dangerous than the ones who do. It must take a lot of energy to live with that kind of fear and distrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "Allah Akhbar" would count--it's just the Muslim version of something Christians say all the time: "Praise God/Jesus/etc." (literally, it means "God is great") What's the big difference?

Yeah, okay. A terrorist would really want to "fake you out" in that way, in the process calling unnecessary attention to him/herself, which is just what a terrorist would want before his/her planned attack. I don't think you've thought this through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutism on the American right truly is frightening. They can talk themselves into believing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bern Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Ah, yes ...... Spoken like a true Kool-aid drinking, LoonyLeft defeatocrat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Never assume it cannot happen to you. There were a lot of middle and lower middle class very right wing people in China before Mao, people like you who worshipped the current power structure and who denigrated any criticism of the powers that be. There were libertarians, intellectuals and brutish communists and people like Paul. Then the brutes took over, and people like you were marched to re-education. Some survived and some did not. And people like Paul tried to prevent it. But it was too too far along. Even the Pauls were marched off. On the other hand, you personally could get lucky. We could go the fascist route and then you can be a leader in the new movement. Of we could continue as now, fighting and tearing each other apart.
