Win,

either you think that freedom of speech, equality under law, and
common civility are for everybody,

or

you think that your team is right, the other guys are wrong, and
anything bad you can do to them is OK.



Which?

That only works if you assume that the person was a conservative to start
with. A liberal will become more liberal for the same reason. Each side
believes that they know what is best for the future of their children.

Even the "neocons" seem to become more "neoconish" as they age. In their
case, I think it because they know that they will die soon and don't
really give the hind most 25% of a rat what happens after that. I'm sure
some of them think we are in the "last days" and that any money left over
will simply be wasted.

Look at the wmv file, please, and see that it's clearly no more
than 1 foot off the floor, then STOP all your self-righteous
pontification. There simply were no "kicks to the groin."

You may not have intended a lie, but your FACTS were wrong, so
it was a mean vicious lie, against the critics of George Bush.
I've noticed you far right-wing types aren't so careful with
your facts when you go into attack mode.
