otto.
i have a book written by the reverend billy joe hargis published in oklahoma city 1963 called "the far left" that demonstrates in exactly the way you demonstrate that the entirely of the government (federal state and local) and media (television radio newspapers) and non-protestant denominations of religious persuasion (take your pick) were all dominated by Communist Party members who were on the payroll of the kremlin. the book is chock full of charts and lists and other "evidence" of this vast leftist conspiracy to overthrow all that's righteous and true about the (protestant fundamentalist) u.s. of a. a land that's free to not allow access to 30 million citizens to basic health care because they cant afford insurance so they should die.
the cover's particularly great; it has a white statue of liberty (what else could she be?) with a knife run through her heart bleeding great drops of patriotic blood as she weeps.
i keep it on my bookshelf. it make me laugh.
so does this entire conservative armageddeon time tea-bagger carnival that the ultra-right has managed to put into motion in order to effect a power shift inside the republican party by pulling it even further to the right and themselves something to talk about that does not inevitably refer back to the fucking disaster that was the period of the last conservative dominated government.
i've read through this thread. i find the level of conservative attacks on this bill to be unbelievable. i'd have written more often but much of what you folks have been posting is so entirely off the wall that's i find it alternatively funny (but not as funny as the weeping statue of liberty) and pathetic (because, well, it is).
but when i open up "the far left" by the reverend billy james hargis and read through it, the **same** language is everywhere.
so otto you may not personally have drifted into some john birch society place---you didn't have to---the marginal right has come to you.
it's old school. look for yourself. track down any birch society pamphlet. that conservatives don't know the history of the own movement really doesn't speak well about conservatives.
as for attempting to use my mod status as some cheap device, when i am operating from that position you'll know.
when i am not operating from it, i'm a member like you.
