CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
It all began a hundred thousand years ago on a ledge in front of a cave. A female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of a male. The male stepped forward and smacked her over the head with his club. WHACK! He then dragged the unconscious female into his cave for sex. One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a female walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but the second male communicated to him that clubbing females over the head to have sex was not nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped over the unconscious second male and proceeded to rape the female. On that day the first liberal paid the price for expressing a new idea. Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent of projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and Goliath story in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid flat by the small but smarter boy. Once brute strength was no longer the controlling factor in social interaction, liberal ideas slowly gained a foothold in human culture, and civilization began. Throughout human history, the price for advocating tolerance and progressive change has been paid in threats, beatings, excommunication, incarceration, torture, murder, assassination, and execution. Countless liberals have paid the ultimate price for their humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most famous, names in recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy. Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and nations - who use threats and violence to silence the voices of reason, tolerance, and progress. Here in America it is seen in racists and homophobes beating blacks and gays, sometimes to death, not for money or out of anger generated by interactive cause, but because of religious or racial intolerance and secular bigotry. Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his freedom of speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front of his house. David Rice is a man on death row in Washington State who has no remorse whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and carving out their living hearts only because he heard they were "liberals." He got their names from a Democratic Party membership list. Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 men, women, and children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever committed such an abominable atrocity? The most abominable atrocity in several decades is the 9/11 terrorist attacks in which thousands of innocent civilians were murdered. The alleged perpetrators, Osama Bin Laden and the al Qaeda-Taliban terrorists, epitomize the right-wing religious fundamentalist mentality. Some believe that the 9/11 attacks were deliberately allowed to happen, exacerbated, or even perpetrated by radical right-wing elements within our own government to further their fascistic agenda. Two buildings were hit by planes, but THREE collapsed. The evidence that the three collapsed buildings were brought down with demolition explosives put in place BEFORE the attacks is very strong. Arguing that such horrendous crimes are not political in nature or that they are not done primarily by conservatives is utter nonsense. Look back: Who nailed who to a cross? Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George? Who started our Civil War to defend slavery? Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their sovereignty over their own bodies in the freedom to choose abortion? Who fought against child labor statutes? Who fought against the concept of free public education? Who fought against the right of women to vote? Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation? Who fought against workers organizing? Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars "unsafe at any speed?" Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40 million more? Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years? Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security, health care for the elderly, and minimum wages? Who fights against environmental protection statutes? Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle minorities? Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering, terminally ill patients soon to die anyway? Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our other Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections? Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and draconian, police-state enforcement practices? Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above the common good? CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS? The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST! Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal," whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change, humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality, when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change and progress beyond "what's in it for me?" At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the despotic practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and power, and willing to use any and all means to get them. Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business suit. AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH! |

The evidence that the three
collapsed buildings were brought down with demolition explosives put in place BEFORE the attacks is very strong. Of all the totoal BULL ****, the above is the worst of it and anyone who is not smart enough to know they're not going to build a big skyscraper with demo charges in it's wals, should get on a airplace, fly to the North Pole and jump out without a thing on, just to show everyone that it's nice and warm up there and to give the birst up there something to sit on for awhile. You have a few million tons of cement and steel comedown it's lucky buildings acroos the street didn't get turned to rubble. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net In Garden Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden Blast Off Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/starlords Astro Blog http://starlord.bloggerteam.com/ "Freedom Fighter" wrote in message ...

self-serving, goofy version of history snipped Hey! I can answer some of these! Who nailed who to a cross? Bunch of Romans who were ****ed at a rabble-rouser. Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George? Generally people in minority groups who feared (with reason) the dangerous impulses of the mob. And George wasn't a totalitarian, btw. Who started our Civil War to defend slavery? Religious republicans? Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their sovereignty over their own bodies in the freedom to choose abortion? Not the same people. Who fought against child labor statutes? People who employed children. Who fought against the concept of free public education? I have no idea. Who fought against the right of women to vote? Men. Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation? Monopolists and trusters. Who fought against workers organizing? Businessmen. And Congressmen. Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars "unsafe at any speed?" Anyone with a brain, because all cars are unsafe when moving. Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11 terrorist attacks? A group of Muslim terrorists. Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40 million more? A totalitarian dictator who believed in a powerful federal government coupled to a command economy. Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years? The Democratic Party. Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security, health care for the elderly, and minimum wages? Lots of different people. Who fights against environmental protection statutes? People whose economies have been damaged by environmental protection. Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle minorities?] Family types, mostly. Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering, terminally ill patients soon to die anyway? Catholics. Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our other Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections? Depends on your perspective, but arguably everyone. Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and draconian, police-state enforcement practices? I haven't seen these ones yet, but I'll keep my eyes open. Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above the common good? Trick question. Nobody *always* does this. But most people do sometimes, providing it's their "personal" and their "corporate." CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS? The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST! Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal," whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change, humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality, when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change and progress beyond "what's in it for me?" Wow, really? At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the despotic practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and power, and willing to use any and all means to get them. Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business suit. Coool. So that's who those guys are. Thanks for the heads up. |

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet starburst )
made the light shine upon us with this: Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11 terrorist attacks? A group of Muslim terrorists. Yeah, but who hired them? Who didn't react when told planes were just flown into the WTC and the Pentagon, preferring to continue listening to a group of second-graders talk about pet goats? Where did the order originate which grounded the F-15s that were supposed to respond BY LAW any time a scheduled flight deviates unexplainedly from its flight plan? Why did it take them an hour and twenty minutes to respond? And who gave the order to allow the remaining Bin Laden family in the USA to fly to Saudi Arabia, even though the rest of the American airlines were still grounded? -- Uncle Vic aa Atheist #2011 Supervisor, EAC Department of little adhesive-backed "L" shaped chrome-plastic doo-dads to add feet to Jesus fish department.
