2. I'll check in, but they can still call me names
Don't care.

From the pragmatic wing of the leftist subversive party--I'll vote for Kerry, but I won't engage in dogmatic hero worship, and I'll continue to ask questions.

35. It's everybody's favorite - The Counter Anti-Kerryism Rapid Response Force

No hole is deep enough to hide from these stalwarts - the First Line of Defense against the most infinitesimal whiff of suspected potential anti-Kerryism!

Smart and Omnipresent in their Ultra-whack Members Only (TM) parkas, the AKRRF is unmatched in zeal and resolve to leave no thread behind!

9. I come from a long line
of leftist subversives and I'm proud of my heritage. I think I got the pragmatism gene from my mom though, somewhat diluting my political purity. Also, that would be a hell of a name for a band. I keep waiting for a band to call themselves Al-Qaeda, but I haven't heard of one brave or stupid enough so far.

18. Don't worry about it--read on
I am a proud Democrat and also a Roman Catholic. During the 1988 election I had a bumper sticker on my car for Dukakis. A lady from my parish parked next to me in the church parking lot, saw the sticker and just let me have it. Example: "If you vote for that man you will probably go to hell!!" that sort of thing. I went through the same thing in 1992, 1996, and 2000. It stopped when I took the woman holy communion in the hospital when she was on her deathbed. I still say a little prayer for her every day.

19. Used to it
Been branded a Communist more times than had I been a member of the Politburo. I understood it back in the Vietnam days but there hardly are any Communists left! Name callers should at least move on to something contemporary. Terra-ist or something.

22. Now, a lot of people will call you an anarchist.
I've gotten that recently. It's funny how things are cyclical - "anarchists" is what people called communists in the 1880's. Whatever helps them sleep at night...

25. Now THAT's funny!
I suppose they have to find another bad name to call us now that the cold war is "won". So, why not "anarchists"?

(BTW, my own personal politics are distinctly of the anarcho-syndicalist variety-- so I'd take anarchist as a much bigger complement than communist any day!)

Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 08:03 PM by kenzee13
though I still can't figure out what's so "left" about espousing universal health care, an adequate social safety net, energy independence, corporate accountability, progressive taxation, civil liberties, environmentalism, withholding hand-outs from torturers, and fair clean elections. Except for civil liberties (on which they're a little shaky), and the torturers (which most don't know about) most US citizens actually support these things too. The younger folk here will not know that during the Nixon years we were talking about instituting a guaranteed national income. YES, the Nixon years. How far we have come, when on a "Progressive" board these stances are considered "far left".
(edit grammar)

44. Me too, neither
How sad when just looking out for the best interests of common folk is subversive.

I guess that's how deeply we've been brainwashed by the corporations.

41. I think I belong here but
more than being sick of being called names I am sick of fighting over obvious truths about our candidate. I'm sick of the attacks made towards me and my fellow duers that are immature and biased to the point of ridiculousness. Well that's my rant for the night.

45. Well, if I were to make up imaginary leftist subversives, I'd expect to be
called names.

I mean, if it's MY imagination, I would at least make up leftists that would work WITH me and not subversives that would work against me.

Like .. what kind of sicko would I be to make up an imaginary game to fuck myself in the head anyway? WTF?

Come out of the dark side. Follow the light ...
