I think you're talking about a work of fiction.
BTW... Kenneth Starr says he never should have led the investigation that resulted in the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton. The former independent counsel, now dean of the Pepperdine University law school, says "the most fundamental thing that could have been done differently" was for somebody else to have investigated Clinton's statements under oath denying he had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Starr said his role in a years long investigation of Clinton should have focused instead on Clinton's role in the failed Arkansas land deal known as Whitewater. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Maxprop" wrote in message nk.net... "DSK" wrote in message . .. which is a confabulation of the far-right-wing hate-mongers like Rush Limbaugh.

You seem to be wearing some rather one-sided blinders these days. Not at all. Quote any place where any of those people said that conservatives should be locked up, which is about the mildest thing Rush says about libby-rulls (and other minorites). It's obvious you've never listened to him. I've never heard him say that liberals should be locked up, at least not unless in jest. But it's not a bad idea. :-) If anything, the problem is that violent fanatacism sells, and the liberal rabble-rousers are all too nice. Really? Who was left-wing actor (maybe Alec Baldwin) who advocated assassinating Ken Starr? I've never heard Limbaugh, Hannity, Snow, or any of the other conservative pundits advocating violence. If you believe that there's no hate speech emanting from the left, you're delusional. For example, which liberal Senator called for the assassination of a sitting President of the opposite party? You tell me. Trick question: none, nor would it be tolerated (it shouldn't be tolerated from either party IMHO). However NC's own Jesse Helms on two seperate occasions stated publicly (once in a speech to a military crowd) that any real patriot would pick up his gun and shoot Clinton, and be proud of it. I don't seem to recall the "liberal biased media" making much of it at the time. I don't recall that at all, but it doesn't surprise me. Jesse Helms came from an entirely different period in our country's history. I know of almost no one who wouldn't label him a crackpot. In short, you're a product of your environment... steeped in a lot of vigorous but senseless & fact-free screeching & whining about how everything bad is the liberals fault. Is that so? I guess it was all those radical left-wing years that made me what I am. But while you've brought up the subject, yes, I believe a lot of what's bad about our society can be directly attributed to liberal/progressive causes and actions. I used to support (financially) the ACLU for decades. As they've completely abberated from their original agenda, I think my money was poorly spent. That's just one example. I'm sure you don't care to hear more. However I also believe that a lot of what is wrong with our society can also be attributed to ultra-right wing causes and agendas as well. The religious right is dictatorial and unforgiving, and I'm disappointed that the GOP hasn't distanced itself from them. Unlike you, I can see both sides of the issue. So of course, anything that *isn't* a lot of right-wing blather seems liberal to you. But it's still a (relatively) free country, you listen to all that crap because you like it. And it shows. Unlike you, I listen to both sides and make up my mind. That I've chosen to favor some conservative and right-of-center fiscal positions over those on the left does not automatically make me wrong, despite your viewpoint. I believe we are overtaxed and our government overspends. I'm opposed to increasing income taxes, which the democrats will surely do if they capture the White House and both houses of Congress. I'm in favor of fiscal responsibility on the part of our leaders, which is why I detest the current administration. I believe in the US Constitution and feel strongly that it should be preserved rather than altered or interpreted to the whims of the party in power. I'd like to see government shrunk dramatically, with some bureaus done away with entirely, or at least reduced dramatically. I don't care if gays want to get married--it shouldn't be a political issue--and I support a woman's rights to decide w/r/t pregnancy, but pray the decision is life. I support a law-abiding citizen's right to keep and bear arms. I'm strongly in favor of cleaner air, water; and I oppose the destruction of federal natural lands. I think current and past administrations have done a dismal job with the environment and our federal lands. I believe in the right for individuals to burn the American flag in protest as a freedom of expression. And I'm opposed to *not* taking the necessary measures to insure the security our borders and stop or severely limit illegal immigration. It's my impression that our government is bloated, inefficient, far too large, and wasteful. I'm clearly a libertarian with moderate social beliefs. If those beliefs brand me a right-wing extremist in your viewpoint, you could only be situated on the extreme far left yourself. Max |
