Reply #224: Oh you are so fucking righteous!

[Merlin]

Man, blast away with indignation. Lay it on.

Callous sellout, am I? How about you and your bretheren of fools selling out everything else on the Democratic agenda.

Here's what you're selling out so you can rant and rave about a precious "fundamental right" that NEVER EXISTED before 1973:

You are selling out:
-------------------
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
The right to a decent education in decent schools
Universal health care
Decent college loans and grants for students
Transparent accountable electronic voting
Prevention of the further consolidation of the media
100,000 Iraqi lives lost in a war based on lies
1,300 American lives lost in the same
6,000 or more grievously wounded GIS who will live out their lives in agony
A future war with Iran.
A new arms race with Russia
Prevention of development of new nuclear weapons
The clean air standards that took decades to put in place
Federal forests and parks with environmental standards
ANWR
The compromising of the constitution
The willful violation of the Geneva Conventions that mankind spend centuries working toward
The sellout of the United Nations
and on and on...

All of these things will be laid at the doorstep of people like you who think with their hearts instead of their heads.

All of this will be the fault of people like you who take the easy way to popularity by waving a bloody LYING shirt of "traitor" in front of the eyes of the mobs.

But, I'll tell you something. I really don't give a shit. I'm not on this board to win some kind of popularity contest--like you apparently are. My writings and reasoning speak volumes--as does my integrity. I don't need approval from you our the rest of this pack of jackals.

The reason I posted this essay was in order to draw as much criticism as possible so I can perfect it. It is going to get much broader attention in other venues.

I'm proud of this proposal. You call it selling out. I call it strategic retreat. Far better to win, sieze control of government and THEN go back and regain your lost grown than to be frozen out in the cold and be unable to do a thing about the things that are so incredibly important in this world.

So thanks a lot. You all did me a big favor.
