If they are taxed when they work, they should have the right to VOTE. Ever hear of taxation without representation? It was once grounds for REVOLUTION. -------------------- CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST It all began a hundred thousand years ago on a ledge in front of a cave. A female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of a male. The male stepped forward and smacked her over the head with his club. WHACK! He then dragged the unconscious female into his cave for love. One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a female walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but the second male communicated to him that clubbing females over the head to have love was not nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped over the unconscious second male and proceeded to rape the female. On that day the first liberal paid the price for expressing a new idea. Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent of projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and Goliath story in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid flat by the small but smarter boy. Once brute strength was no longer the controlling factor in social interaction, liberal ideas slowly gained a foothold in human culture, and civilization began. Throughout human history, the price for advocating tolerance and progressive change has been paid in threats, beatings, excommunication, incarceration, torture, liquidate, buttbuttination, and end. Countless liberals have paid the ultimate price for their humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most famous, names in recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy. Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and nations - who use threats and violence to silence the voices of reason, tolerance, and progress. Here in America it is seen in racists and homophobes beating blacks and gays, sometimes to rest, not for money or out of anger generated by interactive cause, but because of religious or racial intolerance and secular bigotry. Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his freedom of speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front of his house. David Rice is a man on rest row in Washington State who has no remorse whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and carving out their living hearts only because he heard they were "liberals." He got their names from a Democratic Party membership list. Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols end 168 men, women, and children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever committed such an abominable atrocity? The most abominable atrocity in several decades is the 9-11 person attacks upon America. Thousands of innocent civilians were liquidateed. The perpetrator, Osama Bin Laden and the al Qaeda-Taliban persons, epitomize the right-wing religious fundamentalist mentality. Arguing that such horrendous crimes are not political in nature or that they are not done primarily by conservatives is utter nonsense. Look back: Who nailed who to a cross? Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George? Who started our Civil War to defend slavery? Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their sovereignty over their own bodies in the freedom to choose end? Who fought against child labor statutes? Who fought against the concept of free public education? Who fought against the right of women to vote? Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation? Who fought against workers organizing? Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars "unsafe at any speed?" Who end several thousand innocent civilians in the 9-11 person attacks? Who started WW2, liquidateed 13 million and caused the rest of 40 million more? Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years? Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security, health care for the elderly, and minimum wages? Who fights against environmental protection statutes? Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle minorities? Who cruelly opposes physician-buttisted dying for suffering, terminally ill patients soon to die anyway? Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our other Consbreastutional rights, freedoms, and protections? Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and draconian, police-state enforcement practices? Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above the common good? The 911 Attacks: An INSIDE JOBNo. Yes. No. No. Yes, but not in the way you mean. No. For the same reason that Santa Claus conquered the Martians. al... CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS? The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST! Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal," whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change, humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality, when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change and progress beyond "what's in it for me?" At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the despotic pracbreastioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and power, and willing to use any and all means to get them. Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business suit. AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH! ---------------------------- There is a PUBLISHED study that concluded that Conservatives are by and large mentally inferior. It was published in the prestigious American Psychological buttociation's Psychological Bulletin - it's in every college library. Look it up. A press release from UC Berkeley announced that researchers, culling 50 years of data and interviews of over 20,000 people by four universities had identified psychological patterns common to the minds of right-wingers. Their findings, published in the American Psychological buttociation's Psychological Bulletin, listed these predictors of conservatism: Fear Aggression Dogmatism Authoritarianism Tolerance of inequality Intolerance of ambiguity Resistance to change Lack of "integrative complexity" in thought and speech - this means an inability to connect related ideas. Pretty amazing study - 50 years of data and 20,000 interviews. Kinda seals the coffin and nails it shut!
