Oh pleeze, grow up.  Have you ever watched parliament?  Poltics is 
UGLY.  The world has a low opinion of America BECAUSE of our 
administration not because there are lots of us complaining about it.  
That part they barely get to hear.

I agree, but then I said, I'm not trying to convince anyone anymore.  
I'm just not willing to let the self-satisfied smugness of right-wing 
statist appologists (paid or unpaid) go unnoticed.

The rhetoric of the right BEGINS with ridicule, when people who aren't 
on the right fight back they complain - I say f-em.  And if you're as 
far off the left-right scale as me, nothing you say has much chance of 
-convincing- very many people at all.  But that's not why you say it.
