exactly. until they come to the realization that they're just delusional pack animals carrying the water for their wonton masters, engaging them in their totemic phantasm only spurs them further down the same mis-guided path. no one's going to change their mind by force, and considering the group in question, they'll have to be overwhelmingly repulsed by what they've become. the sad part is, that by that time, it'll probably be too late.

My oldest son found this out the hard way. He's only 13 and is so intelligent and altruistic. He never needed to take any queues from me on his independent and pro-Constitution beliefs. He spoke out to his "christian" friends at his "christian" school who responded with all of the hate and vigor of the BOTS on LP. He is now labelled a "liberal" [which is as far from the truth as you can get] and an "America hater."
It's obvious what these kid's parents are isn't it....
typical bot tactic....one particular poster has used that one on us here with every single post. you know who i mean, Indie. ;)
From Wikipedia: (sounds good to me!)
Classical liberalism is a political philosophy that supports individual rights as pre-existing the state, a government that exists to protect those moral rights, ensured by a constitution that protects individual autonomy from other individuals and governmental power, private property, and a laissez-faire economic policy.
Many elements of this ideology developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, and it often seen as being the natural ideology of the industrial revolution and its subsequent capitalist system. The early liberal figures that libertarians now describe as their fellow "classical liberals" rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion, and focuses on individual freedom, reason, justice and tolerance.[2]. Such thinkers and their ideas helped to inspire the American Revolution and French Revolution.
A lot of the folks on that thread want her dead. It is amusing to watch, too; not the anger but more about the lack of principle; sometimes, I catch a good thread to see why America is all fucked-upped. This LP thread exemplifies my perspective. As a nation, we are screwed when party is above principle.
I actually don't care for Cindy Sheehan's political statements. She is a recent media whore exploiting her sad situation within the Democratic Party. Her best Bo is Jesse Jackson, whom I don't care for on any issue particularly because I don't understand his slurred speeches or underhanded methods of business bribery.
But, I don't want anyone dead because they voiced their sincere opinion. That goes beyond the pale.

I've always wondered where radicals who fly from city to city get the funds tro sustain such a lifestyle. Not only can I not afford to do that, I can't even imagine getting that much vacation time from work.
I don't hate you buck, quit listening to people who tell you otherwise.
