Cruising with the right-wing nut-jobs
news.independent.co.uk — The Iraq war has been an amazing success, global warming is just a myth – and as for Guantanamo Bay, it's practically a holiday camp... The annual cruise organised by the 'National Review', mouthpiece of right-wing America, is a parallel universe populated by straight-talking, gun-toting, God-fearing Republicans.

- Karroog, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10I'm not too surprised at this. People are idiots, and when you are fed junk food you speak junk food. I just wish those people would die and not spread their genes.
- karel747, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Yup. The truly sad thing is that that's exactly the way they feel about liberals.
I think it's safe to say that if these kinds of people ever get control of the USA, the world is doomed - owned by a bunch of racist, narrow-minded idiots who want everyone to conform to their ways; they don't seem to appreciate, or even understand, that people can be different. These were the same people who wanted to kill/export all Japanese after Pearl Harbor. Well...Look today: The Japanese aren't a threat, an evil force seeking to destroy the USA. How wrong they were then, and how wrong they are now. These people have no morals, and they are unable to learn or expand their understanding of humanity beyond the militant-Christian, racist, xenophobic, hypocritical scopes of their own ignorance.
Sometimes I feel so hopeless.....- 0xbadfood, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0Where do you get this racism nonsense? The neocons aren't racists, they're corporate stooges. If the NAACP wanted to give them each a billion dollars, you can bet your ass there would be affirmative action everywhere and 40 acres and a mule and whatever else.
- karel747, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Read the article again. If you won't, atleast search for "Muslim". (And, yes, I know Muslim isn't a race, but it's obvious what they meant: Middle-easterners, since not all Muslims are terrorists... I can't believe that ***** is still stinking up the air!). Also, read the beginning of the "You're going to get fascists rising up, aren't you? Why hasn't that happened already?" section. Here, for example: "The quality of an immigrant is inversely proportional to the distance traveled to get to the United States." Notice, no mention of illegal immigrants - just immigrants. That's not racist?

- EnglishVoodoo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Mind control. Terrifying.
- deepspeed12, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7It seems that everyone in this country is migrating to some sort of extremist belief, either extreme right or extreme left. Its truly scary, as a nation we are losing the ability to discuss and solve problems. We are turning into a selfish nation of "Its my way or the highway.."
- phufufoo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1yeah, but its hard to be moderate and try and moderate things. Extremists are loud cause well they are extremely passionate about things. We need to be EXTREME MODERATES. time to go on crusade and voice reason and compromise
- BritSwedeGuy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11It's still shocking how blatantly self-deluding they are - and how sorry these (almost totally) white very rich people are for themselves. Obviously having industry, government and military working almost exclusively for their interests isn't enough!
- milliebubba, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Drink the kool-aid. This is terrifying. And I unfortunately hear it every day in the south.
- madcow11, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Although the article is well-written, I walk away from it a bit skeptical. Seems like every neocon cliche presented itself to the writer in a very short period of time - not that that's impossible.. he was at a neo-con party, after all. I'd probably believe it more if he carried a recorder, but to me it seems a bit too much like an effort in creative writing.
- isellmacs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I'd be alot more doubtful if such sentiments weren't so common among todays republicans. I've met quite a few in the last few years that fit this stereotype to a T. At first it was somewhat alarming, but you kinda get used to it. These are people who are easily manipulated, being told something they (at least think they) want to hear.
- mightyzug, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5not the least bit suprising, i grew up around crazy ***** just like that for my first 16 years. it drove me quite mad...
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3Stupid political flame war ***** != news.
- fadeout, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4I'm sure conversations go down a lot like littlegreenfootball threads.
- strafefire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4From the Article:
["Aren't you embarrassed by the absence of these weapons?" Buckley snaps at Podhoretz. He has just explained that he supported the war reluctantly, because Dick Cheney convinced him Saddam Hussein had WMD primed to be fired. "No," Podhoretz replies. "As I say, they were shipped to Syria. During Gulf War I, the entire Iraqi air force was hidden in the deserts in Iran." ]
I find this to be a statement of a very uninformed man. Iraq and Iran were not allies, and would have never have been allies. As a matter of fact, both of these countries went to war with each other (with the US backing Saddam with money and weapons)! - alex.will, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3"[the judge] is from Canada, he declares (a little more apologetically), and is the founding president of "Canadians Against Suicide Bombing". Would there be many members of "Canadians for Suicide Bombing?" I ask. Dismayed, he suggests that yes, there would."
Wow, I'm embarrassed.- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I'm forming "Americans Against Knife Decapitation". I'm agin it, I tells ya! Hanging's not good enough for 'em!
- waitingtoderail, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Americans Against Slashing People's Throats!
Americans Against Sinking Hatchets Into Other People's Heads!
Americans Against Tossing Hand Grenades Into Crowded Shopping Malls!
The possibilities are endless...
- spikygoose, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3This is everyday water cooler chat in much of the south. I cringe every time I hear a grown man remark that we must "turn Iran into a glass crater" (nevermind the fact that it's not all a ***** desert) or the "America is the West's last great hope" (have these people ever traveled abroad?) crap that recurs in this article. Sad stuff.
- danejaneiro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1As hinted at in the article, these people aren't "breeding". Except for the occasional chess club geek they can pick off, these people have no future for their constituency. How many people under 25 can relate to Bill Buckley's great struggle against Communism and the Socialist threat? That's the basis of this movement. Now that it's morphed into "the Muslims/Mexicans are coming!", it seems like the grand ideological friction is somewhat diffused. I'm sure most of these peole have children who think they're idiots, wondering why they're parents are wsting their inheritence on this crap.
