"bpnjensen" wrote in message oups.com... Hate to pick nits, Brian, but liberal and nazi are diametrically opposed. Nazis are ultra-conservative. Actually, I can't figure out why the far end of liberalism is considered to be communism. From the standpoint of freedom, it's virtually impossible to tell a real difference between fascism on the right and communism on the left.. they've met in the middle 'round the back.. The problem, I think, Brenda, is that fascism can be practiced by *anybody* as long as one allows intolerance and tunnel vision to rule one's attitudes and actions. Nobody is immune, not liberals or conservatives, not Christians or Muslims, not nazis or Communists. On this list, we unfortunately have a number of people who, if given enough power, might fit the description, if one assumes their posts to be true reflections of their character. I tend toward the opinion that it is largely bluster, that most on here are just trying to get a rise out of others - sort of being a bully with no repercussions. Brian was just acting the part of the insulting bully with his comments, just because he can - so common on these newsgroups. I don't blame him - the temptation to mistreat people with whom you disagree can be powerful; I know it is for me. Bruce Jensen It's all in jest. I just don't agree with extreme views on either side that affect my rights and have little or no effect on the problems they try to correct. B.H. |
