Skyrad 0 #26 January 31, 2007 Quote- We are winning the war in Iraq, and the only reason things seem bad are liberal media lies. The surviving journalists are intentionally making it seem like Iraq is a dangerous place. Very well wordedWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Zipp0 1 #27 January 31, 2007 QuoteI agree that if you are not a leader, you are a follower. But being a follower doesn't mean you are following blindly. In the case of Neo-Cons, it does. Most neo-cons won't even read an opposing viewpoint or media source. That is the very definiton of following blindly. Just admit it. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider following without any information sources, following blindly. I would consider following with limited information sources, following ignorantly."That looks dangerous."

NCclimber 0 #35 January 31, 2007 QuoteQuoteYou know... one of the key characteristics of racists and bigots is using the behavior of a few to justify attacking a whole group. Hmmm . . . lemme mull this one over for a few minutes. I suppose you'd be right if we were talking about a race of people, but we're not. We're talking about a political movement. If people blindly follow a corrupt, brutal dictator yet one that is so charismatic that he is able to get people to follow him, don't they ultimately get what they deserve? If people follow a cult leader and literally drink the koolaid . . . isn't it their own dang fault for being sheep? If Bo and Peep tell me to castrate myself and follow them to the comet . . . if I do that . . . aren't I kinda, well, a dumb fuck? The stereotypes you and Amazon use are not representative of everyone who voted for Bush. I'd guess (yes, its just a guess), they are not even representative of most people who voted for Bush. Dishonest negative stereotypes = bigotry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
