Roger, Roger, Roger You need to get out more and expose yourself to some genuine right wingers. Obviously you didn't think Sarah Palin was serious when she told her followers "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America." And yet that is the literal truth. Neither Barack Obama nor many of the people on this list can reconcile being a patriot and being a successionist but for the true right winger there is no contradiction. Once you see the government as an occupying force, it is only patriotic to wish it to fail in every endeavor. Many liberals tend to see right wing rejection of Obama as the mirror image of their discomfort with Bush. This is a big mistake. The right wing reaction is much more virulent. --- Just because they're good at propaganda doesn't mean we have to be good at stupid. -Marty Kaplan _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
