I'll address it if you fix it, even though you've already pre-emptively dismissed any response.
Because you are predictable, and I hold onto no illusion that anything I say will sway you from the behavior you've exhibited for so long. I can only hope one day facts will outweigh your bias and you'll start to do the conservative base some good debate-wise.
Nice open-minded liberal you are
If you say so. I, however, have never proclaimed myself to be an open-minded liberal. I do try to be open-minded though, and am not above admitting when I am wrong or changing my position when presented with evidence to the contrary.
Personal hate of all things liberal? Hardly. I'm a very liberal person, by any measure.
Other than the topic of public breast-feeding, I'm at a loss to support your statements. In fact, I've lost count of how many times you've gone out of your way to bash anything to the left. But no matter, I won't presume to think that text on a forum fully encapsulates your political makeup and character. Better to take issue with specific assumptions, 'you're a lunatic,' or 'you're a liberal' for example...
Far leftists I can't stand, just as I can't stand far-rightists, although many conservative principles I also subscribe to. Can't stand lunatics either, they just muddy the waters of reasonable debate.
I certainly believe you (not to mention agree with you) concerning these 'far-leftists,' but you do have this tendancy to leap to the far-rights defense, in some cases more than others, particulary concerning religion. Case in point, the 'other' current thread. Regardless, if you want to clarify the waters of debate, it would be best not to add dirt of your own, and by that I mean immediately dismissing the other side as mentally unsound. If you're so confidant of your position, great, let it rely on it's own merits. Employing the same kind of BS you lament over isn't going to accomplish much short of making you look like a hypocrite.
Edit: Ah, I see it now. Yes, extreme leftists for some reason have a sick alliance with terrorists. Not sure why they are so infatuted with them, other than probably the farther to the left you go the more anti-semite you become. Probably wouldn't strap on a dynamite vest though, violent leftist extremists tend to prefer other methods. Probably because they don't believe they are getting any goodies in an afterlife.
I hate to have to break this to you, but these suicide bombers that keep blowing themselves and others up in the ME? They are fundamental Islamic terrorists, i.e.,
extreme religious conservatives (your far-rights if you will) who have no problem using murder to further their religious agenda. You know, the whole 'unite under Islamic law' and 'expel the infidel' schtick. One of the reasons there is not a shortage of these "martyrs-to-be" is that they
are getting lots of goodies in their afterlife. They don't have an alliance with, or outsource manned-detonations to, the communist suicide squads circa 1968 Vietnam, ok?
I'm sorry, but this far-leftist suicide bomber stuff of yours is total bunk. If they were on the left, they wouldn't be trying to preserve a 15th century religion as a type of goverment. If you've been hearing all the news concerning
jihad this and
sha'ria that, and
still manage to think the situation in Iraq and Israel as just a modern day redux on the Bader-Meinhof Gang incidents....
well, my earlier mentioning of me holding no illusions on swaying you will have been correct. If you dismiss facts like that outright, what the hell can I say?
My apologies (to all as well) for the off-topic nature of this. I would have presented this to you in the other thread, but after giving you the chance to clarify your initial post you never replied.
