It was hard to know which parts of your posts to ignore, emspace, because they're all so full of lies and distortions that it was impossible to see if you were ever actually writing in good faith about something that was truthful. As far as I could tell, you were not.
FUCK YOU!!! How dare you call me a liar? Are you referring to the descriptions of people I know personally who cheered the death of 9-11 victims as well as Coalition troops? I bit my tongue yesterday, but that was before I was called a liar...here's the full text of the reply I composed in order to vent my frustration:

As someone who's been to plenty of protests over the years, I can say with certainty that virtually no one in the anti-war movement or in the left in general is hoping for the demise of U.S. troops.
Er, what part of my posts did you not read DaneTiki? Again: the world is full of people who hate everything American, and all Americans, as a matter of course. I have personally known people I regarded as friends who cheered the deaths of the victims of 9-11. Political correctness virtually demands that any time the USA commits to a military action of any kind, the proper reaction is virulent and psychotic hate and rage. For that matter, anti-American bigotry kept simmering at a high level at all times is absolutely in vogue. I don't know what "movement" you're referring to, I'm just talking about what I know to be commonplace in my city of 3 million.
"Value freedom"? Oh Gawd, don't make me laugh! Correctness demands nothing less than our conformity and obedience at every level; to join you must attain to a vast and ever-changing catalog of beliefs and behaviours whose object is to leave you so utterly convinced of your own rectitude that you cannot possibly entertain an opposing viewpoint, or even a neutral one. I'm sorry, but the Left has become so transparently co-opted by sheep with a lot of insecurity, anger and envy; a great mass of joiners who desperately need the reassurance of the mob. If you're so freaking compassionate, what are you doing for the poor of your own community? What are you doing to fight HIV and starvation in Africa? What are you doing to promote the cause of literacy, the one thing that potentially has the power to defuse the kind of fanatical bigotry that infects the whole undeveloped world (and a good chunk of the developed world I might add)?
Well, I for one am not fooled. I have had to take a bath in the self-righteous raving of the Left for 13 years now, on every subject imaginable from "death to Yuppies" to "death to SUV drivers" (is it just me or is there a there a theme here?) since I moved to this open-air nuthouse on the West Coast, and I am trying to turn over a new leaf and ignore it, or if that proves impossible, take a stand for individuality and freedom of thought by mocking it mercilessly wherever it rears its ugly head.
I have said repeatedly that I don't want to participate in the political crap here at TC any longer, but I can't seem to help performing what I consider my duty, and I think the only way to desist is to pull the plug for a while. I have to move in a couple of weeks anyway...and by then the war will probably be over.
aloha, till we meet again,

And having said that, goodbye. I get the feeling this thread will be locked down after this anyway.
sick of it all,
emspace.
