Yeah, consi, and if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.

Hey Justin your brain-dead nitwit THE NAZIS WERE THE ULTIMATE RIGHT-WING ULTRA NATIONALIST ANTI-SEMITES. How the fuck could you miss that one asshat! Why don’t you try to improve you educational horizons beginning with your obvious grade school history education and enlightenment will be yours.
People can stay married and be miserable but it the function of a FREE SOCIETY that we are able to make OUR OWN CHOICES and not have a neo-facist with infantile narrowminded views make them for us that distinguishes America from most countries and societies on this globe. So I’ll tell you what, if think that African-Americans need to get or stay married. Why don’t you carry your white bread ass down to the ghetto and let them know first hand the terrible mistakes they are making. You will either succeed or get killed either way society would be the winner. 
As far as Muslim fundamenalists and the Christian right being the same---they are not. Their rhetoric however shares some of the same lines of thought --namely intolerance of others views and a rigid beleif structure. The Muslin fundamentalist acts through Hamas, Al Queada, Islamic Jihad and a plethera of other Jihadist organizations. The Christian fundamentalist WOULD LIKE to act through the US military spreading ‘democracy’ though the barrel of an M-16. This approach might inspire some unbeleivers to see the light at least until you aimed it another direction--but they will never forgive you for trying to force your views on them with violence in their own homeland.
Trying to understand what motivates your enemy is not unpatriotic to the contrary it is very patriotic. If you know what makes your nemesis tick then he is that much easier to defeat because it gives more than one simplistic way(namely killing him) to acheive the goal of nuetralizing him.
As usual you conservatives are unable to break the intellectual cuffs you have put on your mind and are unable to think outside of the box. This is why American conservatism even at the height of its powers is a lame duck. The neo-rights ‘new ideas’ are just the same old homophobic, xenophobic, and racist rhetoric with a new package. It offers nothing trully inspirational or new just the same old angry intolerant crap that inspires fear. Fear never made a people or a nation great.
In case you are wondering I served seven years in the army fought in the first gulf war and was at one time a Republican. I realized later in life that hitting someone until they did things your way is a trully counter-productive way to live in this world and so my views have changed accordingly.

From way up in the comments:

99% minority

I am the only who went “WTF?” when reading that? Typical americans. If they constitute 99% they are certainly not a minority. Someone needs to rethink their semantics. Probably it’s not the fault of whoever wrote this; he probably went to an American Public School. Americans should homeschool their kids with Wikipedia.

As a huge fan of Greek history and culture (not being an ελλα myself), Democracy’s meaning has been twisted like a balloon at a circus. “Hey, we killed a bunch of your people, but at least you can vote (sort of)!”

As to what Mr. Rufus said, try googling for Don’t support our troops.

Many moons ago, while discussing political definition, Les said to me:

Actually, I’m as much a Libertarian as a Liberal myself (check my political compass score in the sidebar).

I finally got around to taking the political compass test myself and thought I’d throw up the results. I score

Economic Left/Right: 4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.00

So, very close to Les on the social scale, but almost polar opposite on the economic scale.

What I find most interesting is that on their chart of current international figures, not one person is in the same quandrant of the chart that I reside in. Even in the historical chart, only Milt Friedman seems to fall into my quadrant, and possibly Ayn Rand.

This little discussion between Les and I involved the definition of Libertarian, which I asserted was a conservative philosophy and he disagreed. I don’t think there is a clear right or wrong answer to that, but perhaps this quote form the political compass site will shed some light on why the confusion in labels exists.

The usual understanding of anarchism as a left wing ideology does not take into account the neo-liberal “anarchism” championed by the likes of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and America’s Libertarian Party, which couples law of the jungle right-wing economics with liberal positions on most social issues.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, that’s where I fall.

Coolness. Explains a lot.

You’re my hero.

I think I did something wrong.  I got ridiculous -8 scores on both.  I know I can’t be that extreme…

-8’s? Hmmm, maybe there was some sort of glitch. I thought the scale only went up to 5 on either side.

PS: Love the new avatar, Shana.....

Why thank you!  I’d been wanting a new one and all of Thrival’s red shoe hoo hah got me thinking...I wanted Dorothy’s shoes but most of the pics I found were crap (or not of Dorothy--yikes!)

I’ll have to try the compass again…

Well, I’m glad you didn’t find Dorothy’s feet. These are much sexier. I think it’s the red fishnets....

The scale goes spreads from -10 to +10 at least judging by my results…

Economic Left/Right:
-9.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian:
-8.82

Quite extreme I know, but I am a bit of an Anarchist in terms of political philosophy.

Been lurking around here for about 4 months now, trying to read through all the entries and comments and I’m just about done.  Just about everybody who posts here cracks me up (Fundies by demonstrating their low brain power; Regulars by their sarcastic - or just plain brutal - takedowns of the Fundies.)

I’m Afrikaans (from South Africa) so my English may not be quite up to standard…

Setting a good example!  Glad to see you - and cool avatar.

Why is it so many who apologize for their English use the language better than most American college students?

I concur!  (oh no!  Is my fetish protruding?)

Because they have yet to learn bad habits.

Greetings Kropotkin, welcome to the club!

(mmmm, red shoes)

Welcome, Kropotkin!  Glad you delurked, and I’m with DoF on your English.  If you hadn’t added that comment at the end, I would never have guessed that you’re not a native speaker.

Dude, glad I found those shoes, then.  Maybe I should buy a pair for myself (instead of just stealing the photo off of yahoo!)

Don’t forget the stockings shana.

Well, I sort of managed to get my site/blog up and running, but then something happened password wise and now I can’t even get in. Very frustrating. I still have ftp access but I can’t figure out what file contains the password info I need to change for the login screen to work.

Drop me an email with what package you’re trying to use and any other details you’d think are important and I’ll see if I can’t offer some suggestions.

I actually can’t find your email anywhere. :(

I’m using Word Press and I can’t get in through the login screen. I attempted to change the password form the setup password (the host (Yahoo) set the program up, not me) and now the password won’t work. I can still access via ftp, so I thought I’d just look at whatever configuration file might contain the login info but I can’t even figure out which file it might be. Very frustrating.

I had the same problem some time ago.

PS. You have to have access to phpMyAdmin though…

Worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

One other quick WordPress question. I’m use to the way post are truncated here, where only the beginning of longer posts appears and you have to click on it to get to the full article. Is there a way to set up the same kind of thing in WordPress?
