Bluey,
You'd fit right in with that group of communist homophobes.

Bluey,

#1 - I'm not a homophobe, I just don't agree with the lifestyle. Do whatever you want in your house if you're not harming anyone.
#2 - Commies love homos. They hate the traditional nuclear family. Just as they hate religion.

Do you really think that only communists hate religion? How about rationalists.

A lot of religious people hate religions other than their own.

I'm not sure if you're posting that mock me or not , Ed, but there's a lot of truth to it.
I like the part about class warfare and especially the clever names of commie groups.
'The American League for Peace and Democracy' sounds akin to the 'American Civil Liberties Union', 'People for the American Way', and the 'Southern Poverty Law Center'.
Yeah, right, communism can't happen here...

Funny quote from many in Part 1:

I think that it raised a fear in people for a particular political agenda at the time, which was reprehensible, especially in a country supposedly founded on the principles including freedom to associate with any political organization.
The American Civil Liberties Union is not a communist organization. You are very poorly informed if you have been told that, it is easy to see what the ACLU is for, who it represents... and while that may not be very popular, I suspect you'd be surprised at whose rights they have advocated for in their history. You could take a few moments before posting about them again and at least going to their web site: http://www.aclu.org/
Similarly the Southern Poverty Law Center, http://www.splcenter.org/ or you can look at the Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center after which please report back here why this is "like communism"
I find your uncritical acceptance of a information from the news media to be most disturbing.

Ed, I watch the cases those two groups take and it's a personal opinion of mine that they are interested in un-American activities. I'll put together a few reasons why when I get a chance.
The head of the SPLC is really a rat in my book. Southern Poverty Law Center? Yeah, right!!!!
What kind of name is that???

when you say "unAmerican" you have to define what you mean.... individuals have rights independent of the majority's opinion

Apparently his neighbors were too, including journalist Nina Easton.
And, my Dad was an Int'l Operations exec for BofA. His is no billionaire...In fact he's a very honest, decent man.

Someday you or I could be a rich banker just scraping by on a nine figure bonus, so we should always vote in a way that protects that lifestyle for the day when you or I attain it, right?
That's the only reason I can think of for a poor or middle-class person to be stupid enough to vote Republican.

Well, Parvati is a decent gal, but she hitched her wagon to Russell Hantz and it cost her $1,000,000.

Gary, hopefully you'd agree that it's a pathetic state of affairs when the police won't do anything for fear of 'inciting the crowd'. WTF????
They were trespassing!!! And causing a public disturbance on private property!
I don't know if I would have been able to contain myself. After a warning, I think the homeowner has a right to 'forcefully' encourage people to get off his property.
Baseball bat, say hello to kneecaps. Then the weak-kneed cops would prolly show. And arrest the the wrong person. Pathetic...
EDIT:
Well, Parvati is a decent gal, but she hitched her wagon to Russell Hantz and it cost her $1,000,000.
This is where you people make stupid generalizations about execs. My Dad has been married to the same woman for 50 years. He's very happy too. And he's no millionaire. Maybe close, I dunno. I just know that you people don't see the real face of common bank execs, instead just assume all bankers are blood suckers making billions.
Whatever...get real.
