Reply #34: it is rare, but I am stunned

[Zomby Woof]

I will freely admit that I spit on a few ex veterans/cops/and plain establishment types who I hated back in the day but that was a long time ago.

Ah, I see that our ideas are superior because we back them up with bodily fluids. Anger is no excuse for failing to back up your views with reason and perhaps a bit of empathy for other human beings. How can we persuade others of the rightness of our views by these means?

We can't.

although I did get arrested a few times it was worth it to educate people

Did you really 'educate' people? Did you engage them in dialogue and reach a mutual understanding? I hope you do not consider aggression and spitting to be 'educating'.

if you have hard feelings against more enlightened and intelligent people who only tried to make you see the error of your ways.

The sanctimoniousness of that statement is stunning. I hope the more enlightened and educated among you relied more on reason that saliva to educate the poor huddled masses beneath you. No wonder I loathe ideological purity and value pragmatism more. It is undemocratic to think of oneself as oh-so-superior and enlightened above others. I am sorry, but that way of thinking just makes me ill. I hope I am not alone in being reviled by your sentiments.


If you were a good person, you would not have gone.

I see now... Kerry, and countless others, are bad people for having gone. Such judgmental harshness placed on people who did not have the means to avoid service in that war, and such superiority over those who did what they felt was right at the time! Astounding. Although I agree the war was horrible and wrong, to pass such judgment on your fellow travelers means that maybe you have much from that time to heal from as well.


Nothing makes me more angry than criminals, sociopathic killers who come here and whine and beg for sympathy.

I do not know the person who that is directed at, but that is very presumptious.

If we are indeed progressive and compassionate liberals, we will do better to treat our fellow human beings better, and it starts from within.

I need to wash the bad taste out of my mouth now... your post was too much.
