WOW!  You just got in a gut shot!

I do agree with you, but the problem is that your 3 friends cant see their bigotry and hatred!

And that is sad.  May I link to it in another article?

I don't think it's fair to link liberalism and intolerance and hatred. Just because there are a few bad apples (like your friends there), doesn't mean the left-wing is rife with bigotry.

Very true, but perhaps experience is showing us that intolerance is a subset of liberalism.  As in not all liberals are intolerant, but all intolerants (overtly) are liberals.

I know that is not the case either, but in the arena of political discussion, it is rapidly becoming defacto.

Dr. Guy, link away! Although I don't think my article is good enough; I should have invested more time in writing it. I expect to write a longer, more sophisticated article on the subject later.

NJever, there are intolerant right-wingers and intolerant left-wingers. But my point is that they seem to have joined forces.

Perhaps "left" and "right" are no longer or never were usable descriptions of political movements. I am, in the words of the three advocates and my own, a right-winger. Yet I do not believe in the inherent superiority of any nation or race (although I do believe in the superiority of some cultures over others, culture being what man *does* rather than what man *is*), I am very very pro immigration (I am an immigrant), and I reject fascism and laws that dictate how one has to live or behave in one's own home.

Being pro-Israel used to be a left-wing position. The founders of Israel were socialists. The struggle is not between the left and the right; it is between two other sides, both having their own left and right.

It's too bad you had to come across that intolerant nazi-style delivery those particular war-protesters were employing. But I have to wonder if they were even serious at all. It's too screwed for me to think of. Some guys who want to make a point about some perceived injustice so they use hostility and political schoolyard tripe to spread their message? Strange. Probably kids with not too much to do with their time. Really though, if you want people to listen you don't act with anger or hostility. You try talk or debate or verbally argue with them over their views. Who's going to change anyone's opinion with hostility? Those guys should be in the Guiness Book of World Records for dropping the ball over such an easy argument to win. How can you protest such an illegal action such as events in Iraq and not win anyone over with logic and reasonable arguments? It's like failing to stop a deep-freezer salesman from making a killing off of an Eskimo community up North.

Dr Guy, I have posted the longer article.

Reiki-House, exactly.

Yet I do not believe in the inherent superiority of any nation or race (although I do believe in the superiority of some cultures over others, culture being what man *does* rather than what man *is*),

There has been 3 articles written on that theme recently! You should join in the discussion on them. one was By Champas Socialist (he started it), Another by Little Whip and the other by me (shameless plug). I am going to watch for more of your blogging.

Dr Guy, I have posted the longer article.

I will read it tomorrow. Today, the wife wants to do the garden! She went to get more supplies, so I snuck on the computer.

Spend a little time on an American campus these days and it's pretty clera which side more closely resembles the fascists of the 30s.

The only thing many young liberals are missing are brown shirts. It's very unfortunate.

Heck of an article! Why is this the first article of yours I have seen?

Greywar: my other articles have not become featured articles. They were also not politicial.

--I'm suprised that some of the lib's are not calling them members of the "bush neocon deathcult" [bunch 'o' crap if i say,but hey...whatcha gonna do]

il faur retudier l'apres guerre ou sont passer les naziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii??

It's about common enemies. Today's "left" and today's Neo-Nazis have the same enemy: the USA and George Bush.

Both groups protested the war, and for the same reason: because it was the allies vs a fascist dictator. And neither group seem to be very interested in protesting some of the worse wars in the world, like the civil war in Sudan. Where was the left when Saddam invaded Kuwait?

Whether or not agreeing with the Nazis about foreign policy is sustainable for a long time, I don't know. But at the moment it's certainly the case that George Bush is most hated by the extreme left and the extreme right.

neo-conservatism and American imperialism, the further away you get from racism, vandalism, and intolerance.


I think you're opinion is good, but somewhat skewed. I quote this part from your blog specifically because when you look at the large cities in the U.S. they tend to be the true melting pots of this country. People are exposed to different varieties of ethnicities, lifestyles, religions on a day to day basis. People from large cities usually don't know everyone around or really care to know everyone around and large cities as we all know tend to vote Democratic. There isn't much variety of ethnicity in places like Montana, Utah, or Oklahoma in small towns where everyone knows each other and they aren't exposed to cultural differences as often as city dwellers. I think it even boils down psychologically into learning tolerance of other cultures by constantly being in contact with other cultures. I've seen more racism in Biloxi, Mississippi then I have in New York City and that is frankly speaking. These small towns such as towns in the midwest tend to vote Republican and specifically this election helped George Bush win who I think is a neo-con himself. I'm sorry to disagree with you but I don't see what you see.
