That doesn't make him a lefty.<br />I believe in the death penalty and deficit reduction and he still thinks I'm too liberal.<br /><br />This is an attempt at intellectual deflection. The only need for blame lies in the proliferation of hate speech from either side. <br />Stop demonizing your opponent and debate on the issues.<br />Stop putting gun sites on peoples faces.<br />When you say 9/11 was an inside job they call you a conspiracy nut, when Glenn Beck writes nonsense on a chalk they call it incite.<br />You are confusing those that are already confused. Gasoline burns.

Orwell, for example, doesn't critize the animals for making the wrong choice in throwing out the humans initially. 3) Loughner's use of the word currency is more complex than you suppose. He means this word to stand for an entire system of social control...not simply a return to the gold standard. Finally, Loughner refers to the U.S. as a terrorist nation - as do many on the left - and features flag-burning on his YouTube website. Taking all these issues into consideration, I think it is fair to classify him as a leftwing, anti-government type. I urge you to read through his website posts yourself and make up your own mind based on the actual evidence. <br /><br />Regards, JohnJohn C.

He didn't vote in the last election, and he's a registered independent. I don't think it's right that we are putting a political judgement on such a sick individual. This is why people are fed up with politics - that everything has to be politicized...and I say this as a person who once wanted to study political science.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472132447326238717noreply@blogger.com
