Meatless Monday: Sleeping -- and Eating -- With the Enemy
Commented Nov 09, 2009 at 16:33:58 in Green
“yes, there are vegans that consider omnivores "the enemy". it's a short-sighted and narcissist point of view that actually helps the real bad guys keep people divided and distracted from the economic warfare that is being directed at those of us who happen to be not rich. there's nothing wrong with being conscious and compassionate about consumption and trying to educate others to your point of view. but viewing that struggle in a vacuum is a very poor choice in the long run.”

“Dougbob - Funny you should mention that. The original had (who, by the way, is no liberal by any means) after his name, but cut it out for brevity and the fact that I never said he was a liberal. I said the liberal crowd was motivated by him, which is very much true.
But thanks for your comment.”

The Death of Republican Philosophy
Commented Sep 22, 2008 at 11:05:36 in Business
“it's incorrect to say that the republicans have become socialists amidst all the financial wrangling. government support of industry & the financial markets more properly fits the definition of fascism.”

One Irony is that the GOP likes it's protesters to show up at Obama speeches with "Stop Socialism" posters. As if they know how...”

“i agree. it's time to stop being mr nice guy.
WE (that includes you and me) need to go after the perceived strengths of the GOP candidates. we can be polite, we can avoid the personal, but on the issues we must be unrelenting.
let's start with mccain's "war hero" status. what kind of hero votes against military hospitals and veterans benefits?
and then let's make sure palin gets REAL questions aimed at her right wing version of femininity. what kind of woman in this day in age opposes birth control and supports converting gays thru prayer?...
