We give our government guys like Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, they put in guys like Strom Thurman and Tom Delay. 

   Are RightWingNutz available with the jelly doughnutz at the Krispy Kreme?

btw — why the reaction to lester and not Brandon for uttering the very same words... ?

You know, I think Beaker's politics are generally whack, but I certainly wouldn't accuse him that way.  That's a strong statement.

Reading further, I find out Beaker is a white supremacist.  Learn something new every day, I suppose.

But aren't cannibals the ultimate recyclers? 

Seriously, folks, the people to abhor are cannibals...  beware them especially when they are hungry...  don't doze off around them...

and avoid people with dirty feet...

The political realm is so toxic now that it's virtually impossible for anyone to avoid sneering at opposing factions.  I'd be semi-content if it's just avoiding direct ad-hominems and handle-mangles. 

As amusing as it might be to watch Hippiechick try and justify her hatred for Republicans, in fairness I have to say that there is another, deeper problem evidenced here. And it's not just her.

We have a problem in the US with one-dimensional political thinking. There is the good guys and the Other Guys. Our media tends to reinforce this, looking at all issues as if there were only two sides and mapping every type of thought onto a left-right axis. The left end is good and wholesome and peace and love, the right end is seething with ethnic and religious intolerance, ignorant savages one AM radio sermon away from lynchings and witch burnings.

I'm on the receiving end of that snide condescension maybe once a day here, and I'm not even a Republican. But I'm not in the left corner of the political universe, and the only label available is "Republican" so I'm automatically a fundamentalist christian, a conservative, and stupid because those are the scary things in the bottom of the box I've been tossed in.

I'd like out, please. But even more I'd like everybody to abandon the idea that there are good and bad guys. Get out more, meet some people who aren't like you. The world will look like a different place!

But it won't be. It'll be the same place it was all along. You'll just see more of it for what it is instead of what you're afraid it is.

Huh? that would be all republicans.
have a nice real life experience.

Just like in Jamaica. I suspect it has something to do with drugs.

 

Well, "those people" are just strange - who has a steering wheel on the right side of the car?

Just marking this post of yours for further attention a bit later.

Your ongoing mistake - the lesson you have never learned in all these years - is in repeatedly making this personal.  And for that, I will continue to allow you no ground. 

That's harsh, man. Bird. Whatever.

don't allow him to have any pecan pie after lunch either
