I can’t stand people who are either incapable or unwilling to educate themselves about an issue before they spout off about it. High school and college students parroting the liberal line about the Iraq war are particularly annoying. They are very capable of prancing around in skeleton masks, but the only the only thing they know about Kurds is that it comes in cottage cheese. Sunnis? Shiites? Saddam’s brutality and sponsorship of suicide bombers? Bringing a democratic example to the Arab world?

Huh? What are you talking about, dude? Oh, wait, there’s a TV camera! “NO BLOOD FOR OIL!” “NO BLOOD FOR OIL!” Cool! Let’s go for a latte.

I can’t stand people who are either incapable or unwilling to educate themselves about an issue before they spout off about it. High school and college students parroting the Bush line about the Iraq war are particularly annoying. They are very capable of prancing around in their American flag truckers’ caps, but the only the only thing they know about Kurds is that it comes in cottage cheese. Sunnis? Shiites? Osama bin Laden’s hatred of Saddam, his brutality and sponsorship of suicide bombers? Forcing a democratic regime onto the Arab world?

Huh? What are you talking about, dude? Oh, wait, there’s a TV camera! “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!” “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!” Cool! Let’s go for a PBR.

Political views:  
Communism.  
You have to be stupid to advocate this, truly.  
Not to mention they deny the murders of the leaders, I have an acquaintance who claims that Mao was responsible for no deaths whatsoever.  
Wrong.  
How can I tolerate someone who Supports a murderer?

Communists suck

Fascists, to the extent it makes me consider what really constitutes freedom of speech.
