"You do not seem to have much use for your fellow
Christians, to say nothing of Ku Kluxers, ACLUers, Northerners, Southerners,
fem-libbers, anti-fem-libbers, homosexuals, anti-homosexuals, Republicans,
Democrats, hippies, anti-hippies, senior citizens.” That’s true—though, taken as individuals,
they turn out to be more or less like oneself, i.e., sinners, and we get along
fine. Even Ku Kluxers? Sure” Questions They Never Asked Me Signposts In A Strange Land Page 418 Sounds to me like Mr. Riddick has a bit of ideological
rigidity himself when he writes: 3. Bush has an ideological rigidity/born-again
certainty/willful ignorance/autistic negligence that leads him to stumble
through life like Don Quixote on meth. The same could equally apply to Pelosi, Obama, Barney
Frank, Ted Kennedy, Common Cause, etc. as well as Bush, Cheney, et al. But then again much of that statement could apply to
everyone as we stumble along our journey. I have never met an individual in my
life that did not reflect to one degree or another those “qualities”. Tommy Armstrong BrickEngraver LLC www.brickengraver.com Jack Aubrey: "Oh dear oh dear, I seem fated to move from one
blunder to another today. I shall hold my tongue or what remains of it." Stephen Maturin: "Where would conversation be if we were not allowed
to exchange our views freely and abuse our neighbors now and again." Patrick O'Brian Forturne of War--Patrick O'Brian -----Original Message----- |
