I would guess the implications here are that people that do not share
the views of Hank Roth (I'll call them Rothites to avoid traditional
labels) are racists, enjoy the destruction of private property, are too
foolish to realize that the greatest strength of this nation is the
existence of labor unions, and that America is still obtaining colonies.
Additionally, Rothites are under secret attack from vile government 
agencies determined to elimnate them.

The term "liberal" is obviously a word which we have been trained to
fear and despise through government brainwashing and flouride in the
drinking water.   Of course, the whole of politics is just a facade
designed by non-Rothites to make George Bush look good while secretly
he coopts the "liberals."

Okay, this one's difficult.  Apparently Bushites hate race in general
(they despise the idea of ethnicity) and obviously non-whites. Also,
the fact that it was the press that brought up Willie Horton's race
is irrelevant because they're in cahoots with Bush.

Easy one.  Hank and other Rothites are martyrs, oppressed by the evils
of democracy.  Freedom of speech has never meant actual freedom, nevermind
what those evil Republican history books told you.  What the Constitution
(that bastion of oppression) really meant was freedom to say *nice* things
and to say the right things like "All men are evil."  Furthermore, you
probably didn't know that free speech is actually a religious concept.

The moral brothers and sisters of Rothites, maggot-infested hippie types
from the 60s, understood perfectly.  You have the right to burn your bra
and the right to say how very very very very naughty war is, but don't
you dare upset anyone in the Black or Women's Studies departments.  Of
course, it's not the left suppressing speech this time around, it's that
evil right all over again!

Gosh, those silly Bushites.  We, the enlightened few, know how outdated
the concepts of tradition and continuity are.  We understand that if
you can't get it now, right now, it's just not worth it and damn it you're
making me mad you better give me what I want.  Isn't that what Dr. King
taught us?

Gosh, those Bushites aren't even just bourgeiois (and we all know  from
our classes on Marx how evil it is to be one of them), they're petty
besides.  That means that all they care about is freedom and other stupid
stuff.  Us Rothites are moral superior, because we really *CARE*.  Oh,
and Bush is the epitome of fascism, too.  Him and Hitler, birds of a
feather.  Of course the main part about Bush's 4-year reign (always use
that word when referring to King George) is his out and out support of
white on black violence all the while making sure that everyone thinks
the same thing, and that's why Michael Kinsley and Pat Buchanan are so
similar ideologically.

See, in Washington there's this piece of paper that says "Title to
the United States of Amerikkka" and at the bottom is the signature
of every white person in the country.  And the widespread media support
of Boy Clinton?  Well, it's obvious, isn't it?   This is a collaborative
ploy between the press and King George to threaten his reign so that
he can impose even harsher restrictions on our inherent rights to have
as many abortions as we want.  And, of course, you hear people yelling
"nigger" every day, don't you?  I mean, the aims of Bush are obvious.

1) Freedom to yell "nigger"
2) Kill Hank Roth and his friends
3) Make the trains run on time

Thanks, Hank, for your enlightening words.
