The Republicans aren't in that category at all, for they are acting in opposition to these enemies of humanity

Well, speaking as a fully paid up member of humanity, can I ask that the Republicans fuck off and concentrate purely on the enemies of America ? Please? It's not like we (humanity) voted republicans in and asked them to protect us. Seriously, I'd have remembered that election.

I didn't realize that you voted in American elections, Dana.

Jurisdictions being the things they are, Dana, it's your responsibility to stop your own homi-/suicide bombers. This isn't a party thing, either: democracy wins or undemocracy wins. I know which I pick. Entirely too fucking many flaccid whiners apparently can't bear the load of freedom, to judge by the way they carry on. Disgraceful, fascist, and communist -- how execrable. How necessary for the global body politic to excrete them.

Read up on Barnett, and decide if it's really righteous to leave anyone in the Gap. Decide if it's really righteous never to let a society enter into a libertarian social order because the antilibertarians have enough guns to keep a people chained. Is that not unconscionable? Is a libertarian social philosophy somehow solely the property of the United States? Just where is that written, Griff? Just where is that proven? Nowhere.

The disputants in this thread are in a large measure talking past each other. Each one is consumed by concerns that barely register with the other.

I do not disgrace myself so, and think it would be a bad habit for you to start.

Come on, kid; you know I don't put up with any prospect for undemocracy but its extinction.

I think that's her point classic. That she didn't get to vote, but she still has to live with the consequences of those who did.

Oh yeah, I see that now - guess I was more tired than I thought last night. My apologies
