**Klaatu** is obviously a “rightist” standing up against anti-American “leftist” statements. You go girl 😛 **Guinastasia** wasn’t pissed off about the Alaska thing. If you read the thread you’ll see that it was the confirmation that the man indeed had been found in Syria was the reason why she wanted the Bush Admin. fucked really hard. I’d rather them removed from power to be honest but some of them SOOOO need a good shag 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by yojimbo \* > **Klaatu** is obviously a “rightist” standing up against anti-American “leftist” statements Tsk. Tsk. The phrase is “ring-winger” or “conservative wackjob” or “fascist bastard”. Remember that next time, OK? 😉 > [@](#): > > the confirmation that the man indeed had been found in Syria was the reason why she wanted the Bush Admin. fucked really hard. Because, of course, it’s the administration’s fault instead of a mega-nitwit INS official? ---

Bush-fucking is a historical event? Cool! **Klaatu** , have you read this thread, or are you just stalking **Guinastasia**? If the former, please respond to the content of this thread. If the latter… wait for it… fuck off. ---

Da’ hell? Who peed in your cheerios, **Klaatu**? I’m angry because of the rash of racial profiling going on by our government officials-and because the Bush administration seems to be violating our civil liberties. What does that have to do with what I know about history? And when do I ever say “evil Republicans.” Perhaps at times there are people whom I find evil, who happen to be Republicans. Or people I disagree with. Whatever. And when I’m wrong, I usually admit it. I’d like a site for this “excuse me?” thing. Really. This is a little weird. I admit it-I’m a liberal leftist bleeding heart. D’uh. But I don’t think I’m someone who blindly accuses everyone to the right of me of being wrong and evil. I disagree with a lot of it-sure! And no, I don’t think our country is perfect. But holy shit, is that a cause to declare me the **Wildest Bill** of the left? 😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-us-oversteps-its-bounds-or-the-poor-man/132395.md?page=3)
