14. that's Bush's base right there

blood-thirsty ghouls

[fooj]

44. Totally.

Like Colbert said... nothing but backwash.

[jpevahouse]

40. It never surprises me

If someone said "let's invade Canada and kill em all!", 20 or 25 percent of Americans would support it. I can't be shocked any longer by ignorance and brutality people will tolerate. Sadly I've come to expect it. I've been surprised there's not the usual line up of Republican propogandist on the talk shows trying to explain why the American troops we're all encouraged to support are justified in disregarding even the most basic prinicples of humanity in our name. They seem strangely quiet but then it's still early in this story.

7. Who are the sick fucks who voted yes?

Someone should see if the freetards put up a 'freep' thread.

[Jazz2006]

10. Most of the "backwash", no doubt. K&R

Although, thankfully, this is one poll that doesn't really need DUing ~ still kicking and recommending.

:hi:

[WiseButAngrySara]

11. Has anyone checked to see what Free Republic thinks about this

issue? I never go there, but have read a few links that have been provided in the past by DUers. Isn't that the origin of 'DU' this poll; as opposed to 'freeping' it? I can't imagine any other group of humans (? subhumans, sociopaths, psychopaths) that would vote yes.

[joanski0]

12. I would guess that America's white supremacists

would vote Yes.

MSNBC for the very wording of this question. "Any justification"??? Wasn't one of the victims a year old???

32. Sometimes we forget that no matter how high minded

a culture, there is a subset that lives without any moral center. The selfish, angry, and barbaric. These people are the basis for Lord of the Flies. They are petty and mean and they never go away.

Looks like 22% of respondents fall into that catagory.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

35. Yes, but there is potential for deeds...

...of selfish, angry, barbarism in all of us, and when societal structure breaks down these impulses become stronger and harder to control. And there will always be some who succumb to them---recall the character, Roger:

Initially a shy, quiet boy, but his taciturn nature swings in the opposite direction into a malicious murderer. He takes a liking to throwing rocks and boulders and spears at the fellow boys. Roger has no regret or sympathy after he commits his violent acts. Roger was the most savage of the boys. He engages in sadistic torture of the pig, of Piggy and the littleuns. He supports Jacks leadership in the same way Piggy backs up Ralph.

There is a bit of Roger in each us and the best we can ever hope to do is use our intellect to guard against and fend off these impulses.

I can't help but think of this when I ponder, what many now believe to be imminent and very near: the economic collapse of our country.
