They are much like wingers & gunnutz. The real issue is social control of nutcases. -- Cliff |

The real issue is social control of nutcases. And therein lies the essence of the left wingnut psyche that paints them as fanatics of the most deluded persuasion. They believe all life's problems can be solved with "social controls". This is the very reason so many actors, musicians, and other "social elites" are left wingnuts. They, like you, quite *literally* live in a fantasy that seldom if ever allows them to see things for what they truly are. In fact the only difference between a rabidly left political hack like Jabba the Moore and you is he actually makes some coin at it, and you're embarrassing yourself in public for nothing. The right can be equally deceptive and twice as anal retentive, but at least their fanaticism has some level of grounding in reality and common sense. It's almost unheard of for a conservative to argue a point that doesn't have at least a fact or two floating around to back it up, which of course whips fact free left wingnuts into an even bigger froth when they try to defend themselves and their indefensible positions. There's nothing in this world that lays waste to a pillar of idealism, than a wrecking ball of fact. ;) |

Please read "America's Secret War - Inside the Hidden Worldwide Struggle
Between America and It's Enemies" by George Friedman [founder of STRATFOR]. Another book is "Disinformation" which takes on 20 myths. From your parroting, perhaps a nice book called "North Korea" by Bruce Cumings would be more to your liking. Or perhaps Noam Choamsky? How about the super researcher Michael Moore? Read "Do as I Say, Not As I Do". Please consider what a policeman does when confronted with a individual with a realistic looking weapon. If the perp makes a threatening move and the policeman has cause to believe he's in imminent danger, he can stop the threat. Saddam makes like he has WMD. He used them before. Why not again? In nautical terms, "Hoisted by your own petard". Cliff wrote: On Mon, 27 Mar 2006 13:00:02 GMT, "J.

Is that why they handle serpents and speak in tongues? Common sense you say? I'm sorry, but I don't see where that has anything to do with common sense or lack of same, nor what it has to do with the "right". I'm sorry. I suppose my comment could have been stronger had I referred to the purported "grounding in reality" of those who handle serpents. I'll stand corrected by you: All those who demonstrate their belief in supernatural intervention by risking death have common sense. Moreover, they have a strong grounding in reality. Hey - its only "common sense" that those with certain types of beliefs in certain supernatural forces will not get bitten, eh? That's how the "real world" works! Thanks for your correction. Tell Pat Robertson that he has common sense. He does. Don't confuse a con artist with a fool. I'll take your word for it. And then while you are at it, tell George Bush. Poor ol' George. I agree that he's not really up to the task with which he has been confronted but nobody else who wants the job looks to be any better. One main reason he is not up for the job is his lack of common sense. Can you admit that much? -- A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves. --Edward R. Murrow |

I put the term that I'm familiar with up first. Here's one to chew
on. Enjoy! http://www.editorscanberra.org/July02.htm#naut YMMV Hoisted by one's own petard The 'petard' was a small cask of black powder used to prime cannon fuses. During a battle a petard was stored alongside each gun. Occasionally, a careless crewman would set one off while lighting a fuse, thereby 'hoisting' himself in the air. The expression was used by English sailors describing the inept French gunners.

Nah, Brass Monkeys are not my forte. I'd say that I did my homework and

Probably not, or you wouldn't have embarrassed yourself by missing Cliff's clownish 4-post spaz session, two of which were replies to the same quoted text. Your post was too good for only one reply VBG. Read for context .. What an amusing bit of irony...

There is also some conjecture..that in French..petard is also used to describe a fart. Usually a load obnoxious one..that sickens even the fartee...hence..done in by your own fart.
