This was the last portion of a forwarded email from an "upright Christian" in-law received this weekend. <BR/><BR/>"According to The Book of Revelations:<BR/><BR/>The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.<BR/><BR/>And Now: <BR/><BR/>For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his 40's.<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???" <BR/><BR/>Every day the world gets a little bit scarier for me. Not because of Muslim extremists, but from knowing that people like this are out there. Lots of people like this.Scrumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963135920577462855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-75360389255066334362008-10-14T07:29:00.000-07:002008-10-14T07:29:00.000-07:00The old line intellectual conservatives at early N...The old line intellectual conservatives at early National Review, were ex-Trotskyists, who came out of the Max Schachtman current.<BR/><BR/>The old conservatives provided intellectual rationale for opposing civil rights legislation and support for the Cold War.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-7859740699202231002008-10-14T06:05:00.000-07:002008-10-14T06:05:00.000-07:00conservative intellectualism....isn't that an oxym...conservative intellectualism....isn't that an oxymoron?Ima Wizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433038947071428711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-89012615678613020302008-10-13T19:00:00.000-07:002008-10-13T19:00:00.000-07:00My employment in the private investments field mea...My employment in the private investments field means I am surrounded by Conservatives. <BR/> <BR/>About a week ago I had a conversation with an IT guru, who is hyper southern Protestant religious, ex military, and very Republican. He said that his wife didn't think women should vote, or at least, not married women.<BR/> <BR/>I said, "Come again?"<BR/> <BR/>"Yes, she feels that a woman should trust her husband to do that for her because God's Law says she is to serve him, she must trust and abide in her husband's wisdom. So, biblically, their votes would be the same, and thus unnecessary for a married woman to vote."<BR/> <BR/>I couldn't find my tongue to reply...<BR/> <BR/>Then, today, another coworker who has not just drunk the Republican party platform Kool-Aid, he bathes in it, and is a middle-class typical southern bible thumper told me he was afraid for McCain, that he might be in danger of being assassinated because of all the frightening hate rhetoric from Liberals. Said he is hearing things like "kill the old man" etc. I told him that my perceptions were that McCain's rallies were far more threatening and violence-suggestive against Obama, that if anyone was in danger of a crazy man's bullet, it would be Obama, not McCain. She wanted to argue otherwise, that the dreaded Liberals were far more violent. <BR/><BR/>This person is an idiot and listens to ALL the propaganda talk radio of the religious right. He couldn't have an original thought if he wanted to.<BR/> <BR/>Why is it when Righties speak of Lefties, they entone the word "liberal" to sound like they are saying "slimy underbelly of society, and the Devil's hatchetman"? <BR/><BR/>Notice when Conservatives use the word, "Liberal", they shake it off their tongues like a mouthful of gone-south milk?<BR/><BR/>I'm awfully tired of that, for sure.
