26. If they are voting for Bush, they can't be decent. |
|
We have the president of the local Repug Women's Club working for Kerry.She is decent. A Bush voter can only be stupid or evil. There is no valid reason to vote for Bush.A Bush vote is treason because it is betraying your country whether intentionally or not.

25. I think most are just so deeply ignorant of the facts. |
|
I think most would drop bush like a hot potato IF they actually knew the facts.
We got some 60% think Iraq had WMD, Iraq did 911, the world supported bush's invasion...no wonder they support bush and think WE are the traitors! We WOULD BE TRAITORS...IF any of their beliefs were actually true!
But NONE OF IT IS TRUE; we are, in fact, correct, and freepers are, in fact, incorrect. And that's very sad.

I think they're irrational and ignorant. However, I don't like labeling people "anti-American" or "traitors". I really had a hard time when the RWingers used slurs like that to describe people who disagreed with them. What makes a person "American" anyways, and how do someone actually become "anti-American"? Even if they do do things that hurt America, I doubt most of them want to be "anti-American" and "traitors"; they're just brain-washed by propaganda that take advantage of their fears. In my opinion, it's better to promote understanding rather than spread more prejudice using scare tactics because we need to start mending the divide in our nation.

32. Let's not give in to hatred. |
|
They're Americans just like we are.
Just ignorant, uneducated, and willfully misled into believing that chest-thumping testosterone-fueled mayhem, murder, and torture is somehow justified to 'keep us safe' -- and for revenge against a people who they've been led to believe are responsible for 9/11 through lies.
But most of all, if we hate, we become just like them. We have to be different, better, or there's no point in fighting them.

and I will add that threads like this serve no purpose but to provoke a bunch of freepers into registering at DU and making the mods work overtime...AND the servers.
They are there. We are here. Let's keep it that way.
(I also get tired of the "look what the freepers think" threads. But I'll save that for another time.)

I agree; those who deliberately lie belong in jail.
Propaganda exploit men's basic fears, which propels them to do unthinkable acts. Just look at some events in modern history: WWII Germany, Pol Pot's Khemer Rouge, Japanese soldiers and the Rape of Nanking, what's happening now in America, etc.
Instead of seeking a civil war, let's seek to promote spread of truth, understanding, and a culture of tolerance so that we could make it as hard as possible for a few to exploit the masses.

Doesn't help to spew forth vile invective. That's what FReepers do. I don't want to live at that level. Ya know, "hope," not "fear."
I see that many of the posters on this thread agree with me.
That having been said, you ARE half-right. The kind of illiberal (not anti-liberal), racist, homophobic, nativist, chauvinistic, misogynistic (even by FRWomen!), screeds they publish, while not at all uncommon in political debate, are nevertheless profoundly unAmerican at their core.
It doesn't rise to the level of treason, though, and let's not cheapen the term by applying it to people who don't deserve it. Most Republican rank and file want what they believe to be best for America.
Just because they're wrong doesn't make them evil.
OTOH, many members of the Bush administration, in my non-legal opinion, are indeed traitors (under the "aid and comfort to the enemy" language). I propose we hound them in court/lock 'em up until their dying days.

except that many of their mental states are so adversely affected that they no longer no right from wrong, so it would be difficult to convict them- under rational standards. Under their standards, I'd say it's firing squad time.
