Well as the end draws near, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the entertainment. As Walrus surmised I have very close Welsh roots (hence the monica), and am a recent imigrant to the US shores, so there's still some stuff I either don't fully understand or follow in all its nuances. Though I started my computing career extolling the vitues of the old Apple II+, I have since been turned from the righteous path by large evil corporations that only support the holy Intel. I was directed here by a colleague, skuldugary, following chats at work concerning my run ins on another politically charged forum.<br><br>Since, from what I've seen of the members here, you folks appear to be far more mature than members of that other forum, I have an observation and a question to ask.......<br><br>Even in Rush Limbaugh's most rabid diatribes I have never heard him call for the assassination of John Kerry, and yet I have come across liberal comments that invoke the names of certain famous presidential assassins in the same breath as that of George Bush. I have also noticed that at almost any opportunity that these same liberals can call for all republicans to be shipped off to a war zone in the hope that they may interrupt the flight of a passing bullet (like I said, I've not seen that here, just elsewhere).<br><br>So the question - have I been unfortunate enough to run into some really sick members of our society or am I being too sensitive about a "joke".<br><br>(and for the record IMO Rush is a rabid crazy conservative)<br><br>

Welcome to the forum.<br><br>Those are some interesting observations. <br><br>To answer your question, one needs understand the modern Democratic party. <br><br>You see, there is a faction on the left, headed by Howard Dean, that actually believes everything Michael Moore says. Such is their hatred for George Bush, they believe there should be no limits of the tactics used to remove him. Most of these people were educated in government schools, and tend to lack an overall basis in reality. <br><br>/my 2¢<br><br>

Have you heard the radio commercial which stars Howard Dean? I think it is for Yahoo something or other. He makes fun of the Dean yell. I like someone who can make fun of himself. It was hilarious. I also think he and his views are what is saving the Democratic party. I would disagree that they are nut-jobs who would stop at nothing blather.<br>I hope Kerry gives him a cabinet position.<br><br><br>red sox otter pops for sale

You know from what little I saw of Howard Dean before his amazing impression of an iraqi jet over the no-fly zone....he definitely had more of my respect that Kerry has. I like to know where I stand with people. (not sure I said it here but) - with Bush you know which handbasket you're riding in and which way hell is. I think the same is true of Dean. With Kerry I just get this whole feeling that we'll have no idea where we're going until he decides we're there.<br><br>When you can see someones plans and ideals (even if you don't like or agree with them), you can plan your life around them and attempt to mitigate the damage they're likely to inflict to you. When the rudder's broken off the only thing you can do is pray and hang on for dear life.<br><br>

Actually I've read similar comments way before they were regurgitated by that icon of british publishing.<br><br>

The Dean Scream ... I've heard that used in commercials now. It's rapidly becoming the Wilhelm Scream of the new century!<br><br>First time I heard it used was in a commercial for Disney.<br><br>****************<br><br>[color:blue]VOTE</font color=blue>[color:red] for President George W.

Well seems I had my own question answered. Some of the folks on the other board think it is funny to make suggestions that those that oppose their views should be sent to a battle field or fed to lions. I had a huge rant (feel better now) and left. The sick kiddies can continue to play on their own, I've had enough of their little sandpit.<br><br>So someone put the kettle on mines a black tea, no sugar.<br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Llewelyn on 11/03/04 00:20 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

I hope Kerry gives him a cabinet position.<br><br>What, *selling* them? <br><br>[color:red]C'mon...you know me.</font color=red>

Well, I didn't say what kind of cabinet. Maybe a nice kitchen custom job, white veneer. I don't think Theresa will let John sell cabinetry on the street corner.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>red sox otter pops for sale
