1.
actually, ustwo, i'm not cp.
sorry to disappoint.
i know way too much about the histories of various communist parties to ever be one.
i know that requires a type of thinking about questions of left politics that go beyond the cartoon level, so am not expecting you to follow.
just stop with the tedious tedious redbaiting, will you?
it's like oklahoma 1964 in here with you sometimes.
and you sound like the reverend billy james hargis.
i dont think this is something you'd want, if you knew who this guy was.
but hey, maybe you do.
2.
i'm not speaking for host. i was considering taking down the remark above.
3.
i dont have a "biais against republicans"
i opppose them politically.
i oppose you politically.
there is nothing accidental about it, nothing that follows from any systemic distortions that i am not aware of: i am perfectly well aware of what i oppose about conservative politics and why--and i can spell out why i oppose conservative politics, and do it in some detail--and i can lay out the premises from which i operate, and can lay out the ideological premise from which you operate (this is different from your personal committments...)
so if you want to actually have a discussion about the interaction between the discourse of states rights by the contemporary right and racist politics, then let's do that.
maybe we can agree that racism is a problem.
maybe we can agree that certain kinds of politics tend to direct attention toward racism, and that other types obfuscate the problem.
but you wont know until you change tack in the way you post.
seriously, ustwo--i know enough to know that after this long if i were to just keep on posting the same thing in the same language all the time, i'd get bored.
i get bored reading the same things in the same language all the time.
dont you get bored?
at this point, i know perfectly well and you know perfectly well that unless each of us tries to do something different with our language in these posts that things will quickly and inevitably land in the usual stalemate.
if that's what you are looking for, then i suppose you've got it.
but personally, this bores me stupid.
