Re: Liberal Propagandists

Answer to the trivia question.

When you say who perpetrated more. Are you asking number of operations? Number of casualties?

If you say number of operations, then I must say that fringe right has perpetrated more operations. These include the operation rescue, shooting doctors, firebombing abortion clinics etc.

Probably followed by fringe left with ALF, PETA, driving spikes into threes to prevent deforestation etc.

Also do you mean currently? or historically? Currently, the McVeigh types are probably in the lead. Historically? Maybe the WU and BP were pretty busy.

When you say terrorism, do you include criminal activities that terrorize the populace? If you include that, then I guess gangs (apolitical groups) might take the lead.

But if you mean numbers of casualties, I think that the Islamo-fascists are in the lead. I do not have statistics, so I cannot back up what I think is correct, and my mind has been changed many times with a valid argument (you know that). New York, Washington D.C. Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran... many operations against our interests with many, many casualties.

Terrorist Hunting Permits (along with Liberal ones) are a way to vent. Like the protest signs against the war, these permits (and t-shirts) are a way for people to support their causes without actually doing anything about it. Like magnetic yellow ribbons in cars, they do not a thing to actually alleviate the situation. We are such a fascist/racist nation, that after 9-11, maybe one person died from revenge (and he wasn't even an Arab).

Want to hear something funny? My roommate is from Iraq. He can travel freely within our borders, be gainfully employed, enjoy the freedoms our country stands for, and even joke with me (the fascist army guy) about how fucked up things are in Iraq, and how badly we are handling things.

Besides the morally superior elite in Europe, I find it very difficult to name countries that would allow something like this to take place.

So, we are not as bad as many people think. We could be better, but overall, we are not a bad people. I cannot say that about everybody (some people in the administration come to mind), but I can say it with certainty that the majority of the "American" people, are pretty squared away.

My two cents plus a quarter.
