assistant: I'm not angry . . . just disgusted.  How would you feel, watching a whole
heard of sheep following each other over the cliff.  Sick maybe, but not
angry.
Well they better think fast . . . I'm not getting paid to warp people's
minds, like the media or the NRA.  'Fraid I don't have time for the
"delicate touch." <G>
Look how warped your thinking has become from trying to focus on the
Conflict of Opposites presented to you by the kept media!  Don't you
see it?
I'll let Benito Mussolini himself define Fascism.  When asked "What is a
Fascist," Mussolini replied, "I am a Marxist . . ."
"Nazi" stands for "National SOCIALIST Workers Party of Germany."
"USSR" stands for "Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics."
You see, you've been watching the Nazis fighting it out with the
Communists, the Conflict of Opposites, right & left; . . . but guess what?
. . . Fascists/Communists are not really opposites at all, but Brothers in
Socialism.  They aren't screwing each other at all, but its you who they
are coming down the middle at with both guns of Socialism balzing, while
you eyes & mind are entertained by the "Opposites."
Well that's the silliest thing I've ever heard!  You're trying to tell me
that if gun owners don't vote anti-gun, then its going to split the pro-gun
vote!  Well, perhaps you are right.  If all gunowners vote anti-gun, then
to get one of them to vote against all anti-gun candidates would, in fact,
split the vote.  Only, it would not be the pro-gun vote as you claim . . .
it would be splitting the anti-gun gun owners vote!
