Yes, that is why they are so vitriolic towards me. I yustabe one of them.
But I feel more that the cause perverted itself and lost me, rather than
that I changed all that much.

Socky does a danse macabre.

And being enamored of the horrid Dubya, Cheney, Rice, et al. And for
embracing their fascist agendas in the social, fiscal, and religious
arenas. And for your heartlessness towards society's underclass. Etc.
etc. etc.


First of all, the Bush agenda is not at all Fascist.


You have to face reality at some point. Their agendas (plural, note)
are quite fascist. (Also note the correct lowercase spelling, as
opposed to your uncalled-for false capitalization, which refers
specifically to a certain Fascist party that is not of our era.)

The Bushies, in the form of Ashcroft, have taken wild and destructive
swings at the Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights. Personal
freedoms are threatened by their police-state policies. How is that
not fascistic?


It is merely conservative. The libs are just as anvious
to trash the Bill of Rights to further their gun control
and 'secularism as a religion' agendas. And let's
not forget anti-free speech codes on campus


Dubya himself wants the government to institutionalize his own
religion as the official state religion, contrary to the express and
hallowed precept of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Again,
personal freedoms are threatened in the name of a state-sponsored
agenda. How is that not fascistic?


Making Christianoity the official
State religion is not on the agenda.

Cheney and the circle-jerk of corporate lackeys who shape the fiscal
policy have endeavored to line the pockets of people who are already
too wealthy. The tactics they use are coercive and discriminatory. How
is that not fascistic?


If proven, that would fall under the ususal category of corruption, which
knows no party boundaries

Dubya has, for the second time, appointed extremist judges to the
federal bench while the Senate is in recess. This sneaky, slimy
behavior undercuts the spirit of the Constitution in favor of an
extreme ideological agenda. How is that not fascistic?


Thay are not all that extreme. Of course, to you, anyone
to the right of Ginsburg is a fascist.


I agree with some,
but not much of their social agenda, a lot of their fiscal agenda,
and hardly any of their religious agenda. As far as my feelings
towards the underclass, I wish them all the best fortune in their
efforts to rise to the middle and upper class.


As we've suspected, you're lying to yourself.


Don't be an idiot. I don't hate poor people. I want them
to be more well off. My parents grew up poor. My
grandparents were poor immigrants. Success is the
American Dream, and I want as many of the poor
to be able to experience it as is possible.


Anybody who opposes your positions on those matters deserves
your vitriolic[sic]. So tell me about all the 'love' on the left!
Bunch of hatemongers, most of them.

If you say so, Captain Heartless.


I favor public programs that offer education and opportunity
rather than gifts, benefits, and handouts, which serve to perpetuate
helplessness. I favor public education, school vouchers,
libraries, small business loans, public transportation,
paratransportation for the disabled, head start, and various
programs for the elderly. I suppose that qualifies me
for a promotion to Major Heartless.


You can't favor such programs at the same time you support an
administration that is doing away with them.


They support some, and don't support others. My support of
the administration covers lots of issues. I don't agree
with them on all issues, but I find the Democratic agenda
to much more dangerous.

You are such a slob.


Since my former tenant, who is gay, moved out,
my house has become such a mess.

That is false. Are you aware of the falseness of this claim, Arnii?

a hate monger.


That is true. If you still don't understand that, you must be an idiot
as well as a bigot.


More evidence that Sacky's claim to be a registered Democrat is a sham. He
voted for Bush in 2000 and he'll vote for him again in 2004. He once
claimed to support a few "liberal" social issues, all of which are
vehemently opposed by his sworn master, Dubya.

To add to the morass of self-contradictory behavior by Sacky, he bashes gays
and is opposed to gays having equal rights under the Equal Protection Clause
of federal and state constitutions.

I personally suspect he's a closet gay who is ashamed of his "weakness", or
"condition", like the character Joe Pesci played in the movie JFK, as he
must imagine it. Here's a guy in his early to mid fifties, who, when I
first met him, and inquired if he were married, replied "no", and when I
inquired if he'd ever been married, replied "I never make the same mistake
once". Yet he's recently professed right here to know what the love between
two straight married people is all about, merely as a lead-in to his
gay-bashing agenda. I suppose if you walked a mile in his shoes, you'd
really know what getting lost going around and around in circles really
means.

It does not go unnoticed that your head of state believes he is doing

making, from foreign affairs (Axis of "evil") to sex education.


The concept of good vs evil goes way beyond the bounds
of Christianity.

Name the president who..

"declared war on the basis of "good vs. evil", and who also declared a
"Crusade" to slay the evildoers?"

Then we can look up the quotes.


First let's dispel the myth that Bush declared war at all.
Now, lets go to the fact that Reagan verbally
expressed the cold war in terms of good and evil,
as Bush has done about the war on terror.
If you want to get 'technical', so will I.
The nut of the matter is that Bush verbally
framed the conflict as good vs evil, Reagan verbally
framed the cold war as good vs. evil. I think that
'Kennedy did, and I would not be surprised if Johnson
and Truman said the equivalent. I don't know the exact
uttereances of Roosevvelt, but everyone here took
it as a struggle between good vs evil.

Slavery? I don't recall slavery being a part of the system. I thought that was
us up until the civil war. Death? Did capitalism cure death? Starvation? People
don't starve in other non-communist countries?

Do you think the standard of living went down for the Russian working class
under communism? Were the peasants enjoying an American level of freedom and
standard of living when the Czars ruled Russia?

That is false. Are you aware of the falseness of this claim, Arnii?

Anyone opposed to gya marraiges is
a hate monger.

That is true. If you still don't understand that, you must be an idiot
as well as a bigot.


More evidence that Sacky's claim to be a registered Democrat is a sham.

He
voted for Bush in 2000 and he'll vote for him again in 2004. He once
claimed to support a few "liberal" social issues, all of which are
vehemently opposed by his sworn master, Dubya.

To add to the morass of self-contradictory behavior by Sacky, he bashes

gays
and is opposed to gays having equal rights under the Equal Protection

Clause
of federal and state constitutions.

I personally suspect he's a closet gay who is ashamed of his "weakness",

or
"condition", like the character Joe Pesci played in the movie JFK, as he
must imagine it. Here's a guy in his early to mid fifties, who, when I
first met him, and inquired if he were married, replied "no", and when I
inquired if he'd ever been married, replied "I never make the same

mistake
once". Yet he's recently professed right here to know what the love

between
two straight married people is all about, merely as a lead-in to his
gay-bashing agenda. I suppose if you walked a mile in his shoes, you'd
really know what getting lost going around and around in circles really
means.



So he's never been married, and in fact he's afraid of being married,
but he claims to hold the institution sacrosanct in its consecrated
hetero form. Hallelujah.

I suspect your suspicion is likely to be true. Socky made a startling
admission in another post -- he said he empathizes with Gays who are
unhappy about being persecuted for being Gay. I have to admit I used
to have some sympathy for closet cases. That was a while ago, though,
before the '90s changed everything. Nowadays, even Falwell has allowed
that Gays should be allowed to live their lives in peace, making a
contribution alongside the majority. (That Rev. Jerry also espouses
the "right" to hate Gays is unfortunate, but progress is progress.)

Socky is a "confirmed bachelor": Never married, afraid of women, but
in awe of the unattainable institution of Holy Marriage. I don't
believe he's religious, so his slippery dodging on the subject of
tradition is probably not rooted in that sort of rigmarole. Most
telling is his forthright declaration of having empathy for Gays who
are not well adjusted to being Gay. I think this gives a whole new
coloration to his brainless "conservatism" -- he's trying to hide in
plain sight.

Come out of your closet, Art. The politics are fine.


In view of your insight about Sacky's "slippery dodging", and in view of his
evasions and obfuscations on this and numerous other issues, I should amend
my above statement as follows: "I suppose if you walked a mile in his shoes,
you'd know how tortuously long it takes to get thoroughly lost going around
and around in circles walking backwards, amidst seemingly endless
side-stepping."

I think what's happening in Massachusetts and San Francisco is fantastic,
and *about time*. It looks like what started as a protest is going to be
turning into a nationwide movement. And kudos to those Superior Court
judges in S.F. that just kicked those right-wing religious fanatics' arses
into late March.

And to think it all began when an obscure Governor of a small State took the
first brave step in pushing through a conservative legislature the country's
first "civil union" law. Remember, it was just a few decades ago that
statutes across this country prohibited inter-racial marriages. Isn't it
about time Americans woke up to the fact that the gay population has always
been here, is not going away, and as American citizens are entitled to *all*
of the rights the U.S. and State Constitutions guarantee to *all* American
citizens?

So what threat does Sacky really think that loving gay couple living down
the block personally poses to him, especially if they hold a marriage
license and perhaps an adopted child in their hands? Is he jealous?

Shows how incredibly poorly-educated you are sockpuppet wheel. Or how
forgetful.

It was a nifty 2-step. First you declare vast numbers of citizens to be
criminals, and then you put all these millions of *criminals* into prison
camps where they are worked to death.

I thought that was us up until the civil war.


That was then, and this was how things were in USSR through most of the 20th
century.

Death? Did capitalism cure death?


Stalin ordered the murder of about 29 million of my ancestors during the
first half of the 20th century. I believe his justification went something
like "To make an omelet, you have to crack some eggs". Again, this shows how
incredibly poorly-educated you are sockpuppet wheel. Or how forgetful. Do
Mensa IQ tests cover things like this? I suspect not!

Starvation? People don't starve in other non-communist countries?


People starve in houses that are full of food, occasional starvation is not
the problem. No capitalism can't do away with all of the effects of
naturally-caused famines, but in the past century capitalist countries have
pretty much managed to avoid the kinds of government-policy-induced famines
seen in North Korea, USSR, China, etc.

and that the freedom and high standard of living
here in the US were just about as bad an evil as anyone
could imagine..


Do you think the standard of living went down for the Russian working
class under communism?


In accordance with communist state policy in the USSR, increases in the
standard of living vastly underperformed such mediocre or worse increases in
worker productivity that somehow took place despite state mismanagement of
the economy. The issue was called "Guns versus butter"

Were the peasants enjoying an American level of freedom and standard of

living when the Czars ruled Russia?

From the time of the organization of the USA onward, improvements in the
standard of living of virtually all social classes in the US vastly outpaced
increases in the standard of living in the USSR. Communism, if anything
increased this disparity.

I think this anecdote is relevant. I associated with a Cameroonian who was
working on his PhD in Math for a number of years. He ended up living in one
of the nastier public housing projects in downtown Detroit, which was so bad
that it was subsequently dynamited. He received his undergraduate degree
from the University of Moscow, as I recall. He said that his Detroit housing
situation was vastly superior to that *enjoyed* by middling-high communist
party members in Moscow. His apartment in Detroit did have its nasty
aspects, but it was relatively spacious for two people, well-heated in the
winter, served by a working modern elevator, and had other refinements that
were according to him, fairly rare in Moscow, even among their equivalent of
the middle class.

Where did I make any such moral equivalency? We certainly were guilty of having
slavery. I don't think the Soviet Union was guilty of such. More people were
starving in Russia before communism than after. I am not defending communism
but I am not going to attack it with propaganda. I am not going to deny facts
that don't jive with my political ideals.

You cannot simply trust a country out of the context of it's own history. The
Russian people did not turn communist becuase they decided it was time to be
evil.


Standard of living isn't the issue, either.
Good vs Evil.
I know just thinking about it might cause discomfort

It does cause me tremendous discomfort when people decide that their political
or economic ideologies boil down to good vs. evil rather than a difference of
opinion. Communism vs. capitalism was not a struggle of good versus evil. It
was a struggle between economic systems. It seems that capitalism works better
in many ways and seems to be prefered by most people. That would include
myself. But it isn't about good vs. evil. It is about finding the economic
system that best serves the needs and desires of the people.

There is the question. Should a gay couple be allowed to adopt?

While I think in general, there is nothing that prevents a gay couple
from being good parents, I must raise this question. Why should the
poor defenseless child who has no choice in this matter, suffer the
undeniable social stigma of having gay parents?

And don't try to deny the horrors of abuse the other children will

Gay unions, fine. Adoption? No, Not yet. Perhaps foster care is a

The fatc that it is a stigma is IMO a problem with those who make it so. This
is an unfortunate issue when people adopt children of another race. One could
ask the question of Muslims given the common dislike for Muslims. I think the
answer is simple. Fear of prejudice should have no bearing on the issue.


And don't try to deny the horrors of abuse the other children will

People who commit such horrors of abuse are the real problem and they are the
one who should be punished for creating such horrors.

It will happen and there isn't a damn
thing you idealistic liberals can do about it. Is it right? No. Is it
real? Yes.


Yes, people do bad things but there is something that can be done about it.
Hate crimes can be addressed by the justice system as well as any other crime.
People do get away with crimes but that is not a reason to give up on fighting
it nor is it a reason to run and hide under a rock.



Gay unions, fine. Adoption? No, Not yet. Perhaps foster care is a

Because of fear of prejudice? I think not.

up living in one of the nastier public housing projects in downtown
Detroit, which was so bad that it was subsequently dynamited. He
received his undergraduate degree from the University of Moscow, as
I recall. He said that his Detroit housing situation was vastly
superior to that *enjoyed* by middling-high communist party members
in Moscow. His apartment in Detroit did have its nasty aspects, but
it was relatively spacious for two people, well-heated in the
winter, served by a working modern elevator, and had other
refinements that were according to him, fairly rare in Moscow, even
among their equivalent of the middle class.


His was one opinion.



It was based on personal experience.


I never said it wasn't dip****.

Tell us about your personal experiences
with living in the USSR, sockpuppet wheel.


I never lived there. I did however spend a lot of time in communist
Czechoslavakia. I spent a lot of time talking to the people who lived there all
their lives. You have talke d to one guy eho lived through it and I have talke
dot many. That is perhaps why I know opinions vary and you don't.


Given how little you're willing
to admit about your pathetic life here in the US, that will be quite
entertaining!



You are easily entertained by your sociopathic fantasies about the lives of
others. That is probably due to your bitterness over having lived such an
unextraordinary life of underachievement and failure to excel at anything. You
live what little life you have on the internet. Sad.



I am sure that most people prefer our system to
that of the Soviet Union.Certainly some don't. I certainly do. Maybe
you should get back to us when you can figure out what is being said
in the thread.


It's true that "I think I'm without fault and my opinions are
unquestionable" is being said between the lines by you in this thread,
sockpuppet wheel. What's new?


I told you to get back to us when you can figure out what is being said in the
thread. Your failure to follow instructions is noted. Of course how can I
expect you to follow instructions when it is clear you cannot even understand
them.


Here is yet another hint, nowhere in any of my posts
did I say communism was better than capitalism.





I still haven't said that, so take this straw man argument of yours and put
it with the rest of them, sockpuppet wheel.


So who are you agruing with when you make points about the superiority of
capitalism over communism? Are you hearing voices as you read my posts?


That should be a good
enough anyone including an idiot such as yourself. How about the
Mensa test Arny? Still chicken?


Never was chicken about Mensa tests.


Sure you were and you still are. Put up or stut up. What say we put a bet on
the results to make it more interesting. Say $500.00? Chicken?


Unlike you, I've always had more
productive things to do.


Like 90,000 posts on Usenet? LOL

It's quite clear that your allegedly high Mensa IQ
test score is the one accomplishment in your miserable life of failure that
you're willing to discuss.


What score did I allege? You are amazingly stupid. You might want to talk about
your projections of a miserable life of failuere with Dr. Richman. He might be
willing to give you some free counciling. Arny we know what a miserable life of
underachievement you have lived. I'm sorry you feel compelled to make up such
fantasies about me to feel better about yourself.

Hmm. This sort of bevavior was unique to the Soviet Union and
communism?


There is no bevavior like this in the Soviet Union.


There is no such thing as "bevavior" in the Soviet Union (or anywhere
*else* for that matter).


Weil, you might want to tell that to sockpuppet wheel. Obviously, it is his
"bevavior" that I am noting here.

Noted: Weil is so dense he doesn't "get it" when I nail sockpuppet wheel for
his sloppy writing.









Arny is "definately" quite a "characture."

Replace mixed racial or religous marriage and subtract 50 years and
you get the exact same question.

Class (as well as bigoted, muddle-headed inane logic) dismissed


Amen

All that really matters is that you have a parent(or two or an extended
family or sometihng simmilar - the more the better, of course) that
loves and cares for the child more than they do for themselves.

Most gay or lesbian couples get around this by having a child
themselves - either giving birth to or getting a surrogate to
help out. Then there's no legal problems.
