re: Kooks

Tom's still calling people "leftists", as if there was some problem with others thinking differently than he does.
It's a form of racism peculiar to this board.


I do have a lot of problems with certain people who think "differently" than I do. I have problems with people who think I and everything I work for should be the property of the State. I have problems with people who think Fidel Castro has something to tell me about how to run a country. I have problems with people who would rather see nations fall to tyranny and America's economy collapse than see George Bush win another election. I have problems with teachers in our schools who advocate a philosophy that has murdered almost a hundred million people during this century.

And most of all, I have problems with people...the non-radical "liberals"...who just dabble in this kind of thinking, and have no idea where it came from or what it actually means. These are the enablers of the real radical leftists, the marchers in the parades dancing unwittingly to the Stalinist tune.

And while I'm on a roll, and taking it worldwide, I have problems with people who think women are less human than men. I have problems with people who think killing infidels is acceptable. I have problems with people who are willing to blow their kids up to make a political point. I have problems with people who think it's okay to kill and eat people from other tribes.

Wow! You're right. I have problems with a LOT of people who think "differently" than I do.

Not everything in the world is a simple matter of one harmless opinion or another, like whether or not you like corned beef sandwiches. As Tevye once said, sometimes "there is no other hand."

Oh, and I have problems with people who misuse the word "racism" without the least apparent idea of what the word means.
