Bart,

"The Soviet Union calling itself "socialist" doesn't mean a damn thing"

You mean they were benevolent "capitalists"?

"You are a bit of a materialist, aren't you friend mav?"

Well, "a bit" would be descriptive. I drive an early 90s car and live in a house. I'm not wealthy, living in one of the poorest socialist states in the US.

"What a horrible thing to have to explain to good old St. Peter. "We needed to impoverish Cuba"

Our embargo does not prevent the entire rest of the world from doing business with Cuba. Castro impoverishes Cuba. He is nothing more than a murdering thief.

"And don't even bring up the anti-ballistic missiles"

What do you think about the anti-ballistic missiles?

Skeptic,

"A sense of fairness compels me to ask: So if the RWE types call us names, it's wrong, but when we do it, its okay? Exactly when is stereotyping a good thing?"

As a so-called RWE. What the hell would you call a REAL right wing extremist?

What would they be? A 24/7 bible thumping, Chamber of Commerce, law abiding Constitutionalist?

Before you call us Nazis, we reject ALL authoritarianism.

We consider McVeigh a criminal but the left thinks the Unibomber is a folk hero. His twisted writings (Manifesto) are indistinguishable from algor's "Earth in the Balance".

Then there's that Black Panther death-row cop-killer poet. OOOH now there's someone your kids can look up to.

We can't forget the bribe taking perjurer Clinton, hypocrite murdering Kennedy and thieving Rottencowskin et al, heros of the left.

mav out
