Between 1969 and 1972, the Weathermen idiots killed 4 people. The anti-abortion idiots killed three more people than the Weathermen idiots. Now the Weathermen idiots were bigger idiots in that they killed more of themselves than they did other people, but that is not germane. This is a moral difference to you?<BR/><BR/>The abortion foes killed .71 people a year while they were killing people and the Weathermen killed 1.3 while they were killing people. So what?

And blogs like Zombietime certainly do, but the MSM never reports the despicable things said/done in rallies etc. on the left. E.g. they're always noble, those protesters. <BR/><BR/>Again, as I said, I'm convinced these are mobies-- the repetition of the talking point by astroturfers convinces me, these are tailored to be "evidence" of the current Obama campaign/MSM meme: McCain/Palin/Republicans are racists. Manufacturing the evidence of your opponent's racism-- I can't think of anything lower. I used to like Obama.... the tactics of his campaign, his supporters, and the abetting of the media have ruined him for me forever. <BR/><BR/>(I didn't follow the Dem primaries too closely, since I didn't really have a dog in the fight... But I remember being surprised at the anger and frustration among Hillary supporters, the expressed sense of immense personal offense, the anger they felt toward Obama.

(And a lot of the Obama posters get an "atomic age" vibe for that reason.) At present I think a good segment of our society is almost self-consciously primitive. It can express in different ways but if you look I think you'll see it too. <BR/><BR/>Tribe is often used in a very positive fashion by people who might say, when you express joy at finding people you feel you can relate to and who can relate to you... and you have that sense of belonging... "How nice you have found your tribe."<BR/><BR/>Tribe is actually used as the positive version of "other". A tribe is good, because it means connection. Separation of people into the "other" is bad.<BR/><BR/>That all said... if anyone EVER suggested that Obama appealed to tribal ANYTHING it would be proof positive that we hadn't gained a single thing since the Civil War.Synovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311191981918160095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91196256996603801432008-10-07T19:45:00.000-05:002008-10-07T19:45:00.000-05:00I think she [Palin] has done a whole lot to damage...<I>I think she [Palin] has done a whole lot to damage the conservative brand.</I><BR/><BR/>I think I can safely assume you don't know many conservatives or much about conservatism.Arturiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803156638114222590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-37656579842137930422008-10-07T19:44:00.000-05:002008-10-07T19:44:00.000-05:00When you say "socialist" are you saying you or no ...<I>When you say "socialist" are you saying you or no one in your family or any of your friends (if you actually have any) take advantage of any of the "socialist" programs Americans available?<BR/><BR/>Silly things like........:</I><BR/><BR/>Michael, in all honesty, why do you continue to insist that those programs which you listed are considered socialist?Arturiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803156638114222590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20869991590112973232008-10-07T19:30:00.000-05:002008-10-07T19:30:00.000-05:00To be fair, ZombieTime spends her time reporting t...To be fair, ZombieTime spends her time reporting the crowd behavior, rather than the main speakers at events.
