What a great thread.

A couple of idiots made even bigger asses of themselves. I thought the bar could go no lower, but I was clearly wrong.

And at least one of them is gone for good. Or at least until their next screen name pops up in a day or two.

Just so y'all know I call dibs on the Elizabeth Jennings/The Americans icon.

see now i am forced to respond... my icon is staying!

For the record, since you asked me Strummer, i do hold Lech Walesa in high esteem for his role in the cold war. and as ive stated before, Reagan and Pope John Paul II, though they are regarded as evil in some bizarre way by some on here.

Actually, people have listed plenty of ways Thatcher and Reagan behaved evilly during their reigns. When presented with these facts, you either choose to ignore them or dismiss them. When shown pictures of people in Britain not joining this charade of lionization of Thatcher you mocked them as "radicals" and "have nots." You're the person who accuses anybody who disagrees with your simple political analyses as spreading hate. And yet you have no problem making fun of poor people. POOR PEOPLE!

Yet when songanddanceman laid out the issues even more plainly for your understanding you said you didn't know how horrible she was to gay people, to pick just one of the glaring examples, and gee that's too bad but hey you believe she was tangentially connected to the fall of the soviet union so all is forgiven and now you can go back to gay baiting other posters, but in your weak mind that's okay because you have NEVER ever said anything mean unless somebody picked on poor sweet understanding you first.

And finally, when I said f--k tolerance, you know full well I was not speaking for others, I was speaking for myself. And because you are hopelessly literal minded I forgot to explicate as if I was talking to a third grader for you. F--K tolerance. It doesn't go far enough. People tolerate you, suestorm, and mosquitoes, because there's apparently nothing that can be done about the blood suckers. I don't give a crap about tolerance because it's too wishy-washy and once again, I know several of us have explained this to you, people who stand up against intolerance are not suddenly intolerant for doing so. But since you have learned to immediately play the victim card when backed into a corner and unable to get yourself out, that's where we always find ourselves, isn't it?

Mosquitoes actually form an important part of the food chain. I'm not sure what Sue's part in it is, though.

i fully respect what SONGANDDANCE had to say and agree with a lot of it. hes very open minded. while he wasnt a fan of hers, he did respect what she accomplished. well i diff a bit. to me, while i am a fan of hers, i do not agree with everything she did. but i dont agree 100% with anyone on everything, including my bf, parents or sisters. doesnt cloud their whole personas to me though.

Im OK with you not liking her. thats your right. you and i have diff life experiences. just because i like her and reagan and the pope doesnt make me evil.

you say theyre evil cuz youre a lefty Nemo. thats OK. i happen to believe like RR and MT in making your own lot in life as do millions. you and millions dont. thats fine, this isnt the USSR or China where you get shot for disagreeing. i believe in personal responsibility, capitalism, and working hard to get what you want. sometimes people fall thru the cracks and we should be there to help them until they are able to get back on their feet. or if youre unable to work due to disability we should help. but it shouldnt be a lifestyle. when youre on welfare for a decade or having tons of babies you cant afford, well sorry, thats on you. when youre in this country for a decade and cant speak the language, well you cant be surprised youre left behind as i see all around me, even relatives sorry to say. reality hurts.

Youre a smart guy, or at least you play one on this board. theres a big diff in (as im sure you know) standing up against intolerance and is a being intolerant of others whose views differ from your smug narrow view of things.

(ha, got to admit, that made me chuckle Kad!)

"sometimes people fall thru the cracks and we should be there to help them until they are able to get back on their feet. or if youre unable to work due to disability we should help."

Which explains why you support politicians whose work makes the cracks wider so more people can fall through them and who eliminate support for the disabled. But you know, oh well. Just the other day you called these people "the have nots."

I'm not a lefty, Sue. I'm a humanist.

Hooray for humanism!! I doubt Sue knows what that means though.

I've written numerous times about censorship in both Iran and the then USSR-controlled Poland.

And in life experience, are you saying you grew up in the era of when Thatcher and Reagan supposedly took down the USSR with their tough talk? You should really have much better grasp of policies and their positions then.

"when youre on welfare for a decade or having tons of babies you cant afford, well sorry, thats on you."

I say Reagan and Thatcher are evil because they installed this state of mind that is anti-empathy, anti-charity, anti-social justice, and frankly, as already stated by Roscoe earlier in the thread, not so very Christian. If my grandmother had eight children with a man who out of the blue leaves her and her getting food stamps while working three different jobs demonizes her as somebody 'who put it on herself', that is a toxic environment created by those two leaders that you consider your heroes.

You say you're okay with us who did not like her but you also call us 'lefties' in derisive terms and that all criticism against her comes from a leftist perspective. Frankly, I am not that much of a leftist and if I appear to be a leftist to you that is because Reagan and Thatcher were a major part of moving the goal post to the right. Frankly, Teddy Roosevelt (a progressive conservative who did not mind imperialism) would look like a Sandinista today.

You also bring up personas. You fell in with both of them because of personas. Their public personas are not necessarily who they really were. Many people knew Reagan was not that religious despite aligning with the most outspoken fundamentalists in the country, is one example. The same is true for people that those of the center-left (and even people on the right) look at JFK and RFK. Martin Luther King's persona now is actually pretty milquetoast in what is taught about him in public schools than who he really was.

And again, you exhibit the mindset that if someone has nothing, it's their own fault. The system and the society is great, so it can't fail someone- they fail themselves. Which is patently untrue.

Sue leaves with much fanfair only to return a few minutes later. Yawn.

One of my instructors is Scottish. I can't wait to hear his responses tomorrow.

How do you starve Zombie Margaret Thatcher?

Introduce her to Sue, since Sue is brainless!

I can honestly say if suestorm never returns to this board, I will miss Margaret Thatcher more than her.

Now that you've said that, she's just going to HAVE to write something homophobic about you. She doesn't want to, but you MAKE her.
