I knew from reading your posts that you were either a college professor or a college student. You are very preachy, condescending, self-righteous, melodramatic, and have NO sense of nuance. It is obvious you get extremely emotional when talking politics and that affects your objectivity and sense of proportionality. It came as no surprise to learn that you are an english professor. Sometimes your posts read like propoganda coming out of North Korea (i.e., "The imperialist swine have continued their violent, bloodthirsty march toward a corrupt, capitalist-pig scheme.") Please stop watching the movie "V for Vendetta," listening to Air America, and chilling with fellow professors of similar political persuasions.

I know you think you're fighting the good fight and informing those of us who just need to go through some "re-education camps." But, you're just coming off as that condescending, melodramatic, and self-righteous guy who lives in an ivory tower.

PS - I'm not responding to Crazyhorse's viewpoints (as I share some of his views), but the manner in which he expresses them.

I will try to control my language when someone has supportive things to say about Bush that I think are wrong. You're right, of course. I do think Bushites need a reality check and I'm sorry I get wild about it.

A couple of points: I supported Bush when we went to Afghanistan and initially believed him about Iraq, for which I will forever repent and think myself a moron. Also, I'm not much of a liberal, so don't deserve much praise or scorn on that score. I 'm a fiscal conservative and an opponent of abortion who doesn't believe in centralizing power to any great extent. I also have a true conservative's dislike of unnecessary involvement in foreign wars and an instinctive distrust of anyone in power, Republican or Democrat..
My negative feelings about Bush come more from my conservative-Christian side than my leftist side. I think the right has become so extreme that it is no longer conservative but fascist. Bush is even worse than Kennedy and Johnson in this regard.
Hitler, by the way, was a fascist who had many liberal sensibilities and was in a way Bush's opposite, as well as much more like Kennedy or Johnson. All four were/are lying psychopaths and incompetent to boot.
At any rate, teachers don't live in ivory towers these days. I have an impressive number of real life injuries. The forties and fifties are over.

I think I went to the same college as jsarno and later taught there. What an irony if I was one of his teachers.
