Hey, I hate the Religious Right, so obviously I hate America in its entirety. And obviously America could and never has done anything with the same level of organization as Hamas does in brainwashing its children. Ideological manipulation is something that is strictly forbidden in America, or something.

See what I mean.

The first line is sarcasm against my post. The rest is proving my point.

Hamas's actions are equally deplorable.  Brainwashing children into religious or political zealots is just about the most despicable thing a person could do, and I think any group that practices it is just plain despicable. 

I just think it is strange how we act like radical religious indoctrination is something that only happens in the Middle East.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
