I found your first post funny, and the link interesting (if disagreeable). I don't have any desire to get involved in the political side of this thread...but I always appreciate a great clavus post, thanks for giving me a chuckle.

Holy retardation batman. The Communist Manifesto? "The Evil Empire of the Soviet Union put the Manifesto into practice." Evil Empire. Wow. Please move out of the Cold War into the 21st century you so-called "scholars". Some people are sooooooooooooo stupid. The Communist Manifesto had nothing to do with anything in the USSR post-Lenin. I like how they threw Comte in there for good measure. FRENCH PEOPLE! OH NO!

While I in no way agree with many of the books as being dangerous, don't be surprised if I get a little testy when someone obviously uneducated in world history claims that the bible has managed to 'kill' more people than communism. Christianity has been around for about 2000 years, if you add up every corpse related to it, you would not come NEAR the corpse count of the USSR to its own people. The crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, the reformation, the spanish conquest of south america, were all minor league to the industrial powered murder machines the communist countries became.

So while I know its hip to mock religion and bash Christians, try to have a sense of perspective. I may be an atheist, and I am no fan of organized religion, but I do know my history pretty damn well.

I'm so sorry I pissed on your 'Hey lets make fun of conservatives!' thread, you may now get back to feeling superior.

I am finally convinced that you are a troll and a negative force to any topic in which you choose to make a post. Sadly, my post will simply encourage you. I intend to make use of the "report this post" option every time you attempt to hijack a topic as you have here, or ridicule contributions by members that you deem irrelevant by nature of their politics.

I have seen a broad spectrum of complaints about your imposition on a topic without bothering to actually read that material given. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but you choose intellectual laziness in every case. I believe that you are nothing more than an "attention whore" so it is my hope that you get the attention that you deserve.

I hope that others that are fed up with your tactics will do the same. And, please...would someone report this post to a moderator because I am unable to.

You forgot to add "How to Save Your Own Life" by Erica Jong.
This list is a total crack up. Thanks dude for the link, Summer Reading et al - by the Red States of America. Ha Ha! When's the bonfire?

How about adding "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman. We must be fair minded, ya know...
