But there...Larry:<BR/><BR/>Fair enough, and I agree with you. But there's a current tendency among older/former punks to zealously and vehemently target the Left, as though it still had any real power, and completely miss the larger injustices perpetrated by the Right. Hence my first response. I'm not saying you can't point out Leftist stupidity-it's your blog, after all-but don't miss the forest for the trees.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for clarifying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1144112496613531852006-04-03T21:01:00.000-04:002006-04-03T21:01:00.000-04:00Dave:Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. I...Dave:<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. I wasn't going after far leftists exclusively; neither Ted Kennedy, whose interest is not so much in social justice as in enlisting more prospective Democratic voters, nor the Catholic Church, which hopes to see Latino immigrants filling its pews and replenishing its coffers, is exactly an extremist. Just short-sighted, as are Bush and his corporate buddies, who benefit from cheap labour and greater leverage in battling unionisation. There's plenty of blame to go around at both ends of the ideological spectrum.Larry Livermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948659387575597910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1143914732256457692006-04-01T13:05:00.000-05:002006-04-01T13:05:00.000-05:00Larry,I don't think you've got the Left completely...Larry,<BR/><BR/>I don't think you've got the Left completely pinned down on immigration here. It may be due to the company I keep, but most lefties I know understand that organized immigration rules must be preserved. But they can stand to be a hell of a lot more flexible (and accessible) than they are now. Many of the protests featured immigrants waving American flags; the pictures I saw bore hundreds of them. These are people who want to live and work here, and the general liberal response is a hell of a lot better than the "they took our jerbs" bullshit spouted out by the Right.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, how much of a legitimate presence does your irrational leftist monster even have in America these days? The far-Right is a lot more powerful and a lot more dangerous, and engaging in a more potent denial of reality, than the Left at this point. Not that you can't bitch about whoever you want, but you're too smart for this glaring lack of perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1143760325214550042006-03-30T18:12:00.000-05:002006-03-30T18:12:00.000-05:00and le bob actually tackled (i know how you love l...and le bob actually tackled (i know how you love le bob) viera! i think he said it was his first tackle in 13 years.<BR/><BR/>i distributed your Fulham 1 Chelsea 0 entry to Jason. he said to send his bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1143759392104169492006-03-30T17:56:00.000-05:002006-03-30T17:56:00.000-05:00As you know, I am an Arsenal-hater of long standin...As you know, I am an Arsenal-hater of long standing, but it would be churlish as well as dishonest not to acknowledge that they were absolutely brilliant the other night. <BR/><BR/>And even more remarkable: they didn't cheat!Larry Livermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948659387575597910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1143758806668009712006-03-30T17:46:00.000-05:002006-03-30T17:46:00.000-05:00Understood larry...so, Arsenal...pretty good no?Understood larry...so, Arsenal...pretty good no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-1143758014451381952006-03-30T17:33:00.000-05:002006-03-30T17:33:00.000-05:00Tim: You may be right, but I hope not.

Immigration is an issue far more fundamental to the country's character than who can or cannot get married.<BR/><BR/>JAB: I didn't mean to imply that many of the immigrants themselves are active supporters of the <I>reconquista</I> philosophy.

I doubt we'll hear much about it after that.<BR/><BR/>If the American government is serious about doing something about Mexicans crossing the border illegally, I'd like to see them go after the companies that are hiring them for less than minimum wage and without paying any sort of social security or benefits.<BR/><BR/>I still can't believe how many people were duped into voting a certain way because allowing homosexuals to marry was going to destroy this country.<BR/><BR/>Who's talking about that two years later?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
