					<description><![CDATA[&quot;The tuscon shooter was a left wing nut.&quot;

You keep saying that, and adjusting your &quot;reasons&quot;, but there is no proof one way or the other. 

&quot;The NAACP has called him an &quot;Uncle Tom&quot;...&quot;

No, the NAACP did no such thing: one moron employed by the organization did. You seem fond of not making distinctions between individuals and organizations.

&quot;Governor Bobby Jindal&#039;s assistant was beaten and suffered a broken leg after she left a Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. In other words he wasn&#039;t niggery enough, to make a shorter point. &quot;

Gee asshole, the police said the attackers were white, and there was no evidence they were involved with protests around the fundraising event. You seem to have a massive problem with truth.  

Your use of &quot;niggery&quot; pretty much explains the reasoning behind your comments and your chosen label. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes mein kampf was just as evil. 

The facts remain.

The tuscon shooter was a left wing nut. He was:

anti-religion, 
anti-american as he burned the flag, 
smoked pot and got high on mushrooms
loves communist works as well as mein kampf

Sounds left wimg to me. 

Besides what about all the hate speech towards Bush and all you liberals, aka secular oppressives that wished him dead? What about:

President Obama called Republicans &quot;hostage takers.&quot; 
Former Rep and marxist Alan Grayson called his GOP opponent Daniel Webster &quot;Taliban Dan.&quot; 

Black conservative Kenneth Gladney was hospitalized in St. Louis after SEIU thugs beat him outside a Tea Party event. 
The NAACP has called him an &quot;Uncle Tom&quot; who &quot;deserved&quot; to be beaten, and said he wasn&#039;t &quot;black enough&quot; to protect. 
Governor Bobby Jindal&#039;s assistant was beaten and suffered a broken leg after she left a Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. In other words he wasn&#039;t niggery enough, to make a shorter point. maybe that&#039;s not the word to use, but it&#039;s what they meant! Call it like it is. 

Airhead America talk show host Montel Williams said of Michelle Bachman: &quot;Michelle, slit your wrist. Go ahead... or, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. Start right at the collarbone.&quot; maybe Montel owes an apology? 

The same target graphics seen on Sarah Palin&#039;s website that the Left famously denounced all weekend were - gasp! - splattered all over the Daily Kos website back in 2008 when they were moving to &quot;target&quot; Congresswoman Giffords and remove her from office. Hypocrites.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Conservative&quot; @39:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Where are your stats to back up your claims about 100,000,000 white christian conservatives?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Approximate population of the US is 350 million. Of that number, we can safely judge that at least half are adults. That&#039;s 175 million. The majority of conservatives on the US are caucasian, and I think it&#039;s safe to presume that all of them are Christian (or claim to be). Polls seem to indicate that roughly 60% of adults side with &quot;conservative values&quot; - if Fox is to be believed, anyway - and 60% of 175 million is 105 million.

It&#039;s called arithmetic.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Technically we don&#039;t really know how many illegal aliens are in this country...&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which means your numbers are unreliable. I suggest you stop tossing those numbers around. Not that you will, of course.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;As of old dirty boy shooter being a registered republicn, so what?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, just a few comments ago, you were crowing his &quot;socialist&quot; and &quot;liberal&quot; status as though it was meaningful. You now get to retract all that nonsense, or backpedal and admit that his political affiliation is irrelevant after all.

Not that you will, of course. Currently you&#039;re making more waffles than IHOP.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Again, the boy liked the &quot;communist manifesto&quot; which sounds like something the left would be more interested in reading and promoting.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I believe he was a reader of Marx, but he also reads Lewis Carroll, claims the government is trying to exert mind control via grammar, and thinks the US should go back to a gold-based money standard. That&#039;s a pretty intense mix of many views, some of them liberal, some conservative, and some irrelevant to politics in any way at all.

You don&#039;t get to cherry-pick reality to support your claims.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;As for Ayers and his fruitcake weathermen, theey were all terrorists. You know enough about his opinions to know that he hated America and wanted to change it into a marxist dictatorship.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You apparently didn&#039;t read my last response. I really know nothing of Ayers, and really don&#039;t care, so I&#039;m not even sure why you keep bringing him up in this discussion. Since I don&#039;t know anything of Ayers&#039;s politics, I can neither refute nor confirm your statements.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Colleges should screen their teachers better.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There, at least, we can agree.

You mention Christ, in your last graf. I wonder what he&#039;d think of your willingness to distort truth - possibly even tell outright lies - to support your claims. Do you think you&#039;re doing him any favors by taking the stand that you do? Do you believe you&#039;re bearing witness to his influence in your life by behaving in the way you are? How many times did Jesus Christ behave as you are now?

Furthermore, you seem to think he&#039;s going to put to death all the people whom you personally dislike. What you don&#039;t grasp is that Revelation is not the recorded words of Christ; it&#039;s the rantings of a deranged man who never met Jesus Christ in person. At no point in any of the gospels did Christ say he was going to &quot;wipe out&quot; anyone.

Christ. I&#039;m an atheist, and even I know his teachings better than you do.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Where are your stats to back up your claims about 100,000,000 white christian conservatives? &quot;

The foolishness of asking for data to support this assertion when you don&#039;t have any support for your claimed number of illegal aliens escapes you doesn&#039;t it?

&quot;The part I like the best is that they pay no taxes,&quot;
Wow. How do they manage to live here without buying food, gas, and other supplies, with the associated taxes? Or do they have a special power that allows them to avoid paying all those taxes? 

&quot;Again, the boy liked the &quot;communist manifesto&quot; which sounds like something the left would be more interested in reading and promoting.&quot;

Again you repeat this - but with nothing for support except your claims. 

&quot;A real conservative wouldn&#039;t even wipe his ass with &quot;the communist manifesto&quot; much less admit to reading it.&quot;

Yes, because the best way to understand something and criticize what it represents is to say &quot;I don&#039;t like that there stuff.&quot; Of course, I have  feeling there is another reason you didn&#039;t read it: too many long sentences, multi-syllable words, and no pictures.

&quot;While Hitler did wage war on communists, he himself was a socialist. Hence the term Nationalist Socialist Party, aka NAZI. &quot;

Your understanding of the NAZI party&#039;s philosophies seems to be frozen at the 4th grade level.

&quot; Of course, congress could strip funding from colleges who hire professors who spout socialism. &quot;

Yes, because stopping the free speech of a few people we dislike is one of the core principles of our Republic. 

&quot;Oh, and George Soros would be arrested for crimes against humanity...&quot;

You mean like the support he gave the anti-Communist movement in his home country? Are you really such a moron that you make these statements without any understanding or knowledge of what you&#039;re discussing?

Again, I&#039;ll ask: Why all your comments fixed on the evil you see in the Communist Manifesto, with none on Mein Kampf? I would hope that even someone as closed-minded and uninformed as you would agree there is much to be abhorred there as well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Where are your stats to back up your claims about 100,000,000 white christian conservatives? I though secular oppressives always claimed we were a minority. I guess that&#039;s only when it benefits the argument. 

Technically we don&#039;t really know how many illegal aliens are in this country primarily becuase they are here ILLEGALLY, hence that kind of puts a damper on the head count. Specualtion says about 10 to 12 million. Don&#039;t blame me, blame the people who came up with the figures.

As of old dirty boy shooter being a registered republicn, so what? That doesn;t make him conservative. There are alot of republicans in name only. Ever heard of the homo side of the party - the log cabin &quot;republicans&quot;? They may be fiscally conservative and that&#039;s the only reason they are in the party, but they sure don&#039;t fit the conservative label when it comes to much of anything else. Of course if they choose to spend their big business with us that&#039;s their business. 

Again, the boy liked the &quot;communist manifesto&quot; which sounds like something the left would be more interested in reading and promoting. 

As for Ayers and his fruitcake weathermen, theey were all terrorists. You know enough about his opinions to know that he hated America and wanted to change it into a marxist dictatorship. That&#039;s far more dangerous that what pretty boy did on Saturday. Instead of killing six, Ayers wanted to kill thousands. Yet, there he is Mr. College Professor himself. The old buzzard. 

Colleges should screen their teachers better. Of course, congress could strip funding from colleges who hire professors who spout socialism. That&#039;s a good way fro the tea party ongress to start the new year. That&#039;s what I would do. Oh, and George Soros would be arrested for crimes against humanity and all his funded would be confiscated and given to all the people he has hurt just to piss off the secualr oppressives. Oh, and all organizations funded by him would be included in the arrest and confiscation as well. 

But, evil thrives and good dies. So that dream would never happen. Of course I amy be looking at it all wrong too. The sooner he builds his new world order and single government of the world and gets his dictator elected, the sooner Christ will come back and wipe it out and we can all be happy. ]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;No illegal immigration invasion eh? I call 12 million illegal aliens an invasion.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Provenance? Where are your stats to back up your claims?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I am a white Christian conservative male. Endagered species if you ask me.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, you and the other 100,000,000 of you in this nation. How terrible to be so outnumbered.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;No I do not retract my statements about the 22 year old marxist. He may be listed as &quot;republican&quot; but so are alot of other RINOS.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And thus the waffling continues. I expected as much.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I will change my mind and retract my former statements if you will admit that Bill Ayers is a marxist terrorist and that socialism is a satanic inspired idea.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t know enough abut Ayers to really care much what his opinions are on anything. He might be a Marxist, or he might be a Nihilist, or he might even be a Monarchist. Really doesn&#039;t matter to me.

As for Socialism being Satanic: Since I&#039;m an atheist, I don&#039;t believe in Satan, which means I can&#039;t describe anything as Satanic (except with ironic intent).

That aside, why my opinions should have any effect on whether you recognize reality is something that escapes me. I could be into surrealistic Zen love-poetry, for all you know; but that wouldn&#039;t change the fact that 2+2 = 4, nor would it change the fact that Loughton is a registered Republican, nor would it change the fact that Brewer is a liar about illegal immigration, nor would it change the fact that Arpaio is a grandstanding bully.

Reality is not contingent upon your opinion of it. You are entitled to your own point of view, but you are not entitled to your own facts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No illegal immigration invasion eh? I call 12 million illegal aliens an invasion. From the looks of things about 11,999,000 live in my county. Sometimes I have to ask &quot;where are all the Americans?&quot; when I go to some parts of the county. 

The part I like the best is that they pay no taxes, yet they use our utilities, medical facilities, schools, etc. I wonder if I could sneak across the border and get a free handout? I doubt it. After all, I am a white Christian conservative male. Endagered species if you ask me.

No I do not retract my statements about the 22 year old marxist. He may be listed as &quot;republican&quot; but so are alot of other RINOS. Like Mitt Romney. He says he is &quot;republican&quot; all. A real republican would know better than to incite marxism (hellthcare) in his own state. Of course being from Massacussetts, I guess he&#039;s used to to it. Even if your little puppy dog marxist shooter if listed as Republican, it doesn&#039;t mean that he is conservative. A real conservative wouldn&#039;t even wipe his ass with &quot;the communist manifesto&quot; much less admit to reading it. I doubt if it&#039;s worth burning to keep warm in a blizzard. Waste of a good match. 

But, I&#039;ll make a deal with. I will change my mind and retract my former statements if you will admit that Bill Ayers is a marxist terrorist and that socialism is a satanic inspired idea. Deal? ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Conservative @13:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Christian soldier? Hardly! More like marxist atheist soldier. From his rantings and his enjoyment of the Communist Manifesto, he sounds more like a hateful anti-religion leftist.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

He&#039;s anti-everything, but the Pima County registrar has him as a &lt;i&gt;Republican&lt;/i&gt;.

Put that in your assumption pipe and take a deep, deep toke.

If you&#039;re at all honest, if you&#039;re at all the conservative you claim to be, you will retract your false statements about Loughton&#039;s political leanings immediately. I&#039;m not going to hold my breath, though, since the lies about his politics are apparently all that you and your ilk have to hang your arguments from.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Arizona has become a bastion of civil wars becuase of the immigration situation. I do not know why.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I live in Arizona, and I do know why. Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio are both grandstanding for the sake of their political gain. They&#039;re both media whores that prefer to manufacture a controversy rather than govern peaceably and sensibly.

By focusing attention on something that genuinely is not an issue, Brewer has managed to shift attention away from her track record of failure. By regularly wetting his khakis over an alleged illegal immigrant &quot;invasion&quot;, Arpaio has managed to call attention away from his inhumane practices toward prisoners, and his total bullying of Maricopa County.

That&#039;s what&#039;s going on here. There is no illegal immigrant invasion. That is a fact.

I don&#039;t expect you to be able to deal with that, however, any more than I expect you to be able to deal with the reality of Loughton&#039;s party affiliation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Communists and Nazis are almost not the same. While Hitler did wage war on communists, he himself was a socialist. Hence the term Nationalist Socialist Party, aka NAZI. However, there is little real difference between the two. Only theoretical differences. 

Communists do not allow private ownership. Instead everything belongs to the overnment and the government distributes to its people as it sees fit. 

Under socialism, people are allowed private ownership until the government decides that paerticular people have too much ownership and they sieze it to give it to someone else who doesn&#039;t have as much stuff. 

Either way, freedom is non-existant under both regimes. 

Either way, Karl marx was just a lazy asshole. 

I don;t know how many people Bill Ayers killed, but he did bomb buildings. Hence, he is a terrorist and should be in prison and not allowed to teach. ]]></description>
