Well, I surmise that this is a Communist website because, among other things, of the "Evolution of Revolution" art displayed on the left side of this page. Is that not Karl Marx’s face? And if it is, is the message not that we’re all on the inevitable march towards global communist utopia that he promised? If this site is really just a social-democrat site, and you all just vote Labour in the UK or whatever, then I stand corrected.
I’m not trying to call you names here, and for those of you who bristle at being labeled a Communist and therefore apparently know there’s something wrong with being one, then good for you.
I like the previous poster trying to profile me. This is a common approach, and fits in well with the "shoot the messenger" strategy used by those who don’t want to debate anything. To the guy who guessed that I’m a new immigrant: hey buddy, you’re 100% wrong. My peeps came over a long time ago, but I don’t think that’s relevant. I know a 25-year-old Mexican guy who installs carpet, doesn’t speak English, and became a proud U.S. citizen two years ago. He’s got an American eagle and "USA" tatooed on his arm. America, thank God, is a land of us mutts. But if you automatically assume that the most patriotic Americans are the ones who just left their native countries, you might want to ask yourself why that seems to be the case.
Another thing that wears thin are efforts to question my motives for believing what I believe. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, even if I just conclude that they’re dumb. Somebody said I support the prez because I’m "afraid." How on earth could you conclude that? Most people who read this web site are the ones who seem to be jumping at shadows, afraid that non-existent secret police are going to arrest them and take them to invisible prison camps in some alternative-universe America. I’m not scared of the prez. Hell, I’ll condemn him completely for signing the McCain-Feingold bill. That law is the direct attack on our Constitution that y’all should be worried about. I think he signed it out of political cowardice, assuming that the Supreme Court would do its duty and strike that new law down. Unfortunately, the SC shirked its duty and we’re all stuck.
As for the guy who noted how uneducated the guy looks in the photo, fine, I’ll grant you that. You don’t think I could find an equally dumb-looking guy in photos of mass-demonstrations that leftists attend? I’ve seen plenty where the sign the protestor is carrying is so random as to be incoherent. Most educated people don’t bother to go to demonstrations anyway, because they’ve got these annoying obligations called "jobs."
Hey y’all,
