Happens all the time. Mostly it comes from people that have no idea
what Rush is really about, and just go by what the liberals say. But
I also run across a lot of people that are dittoheads. The concession

always gives me free food. He says we gotta stick together. <G>

assistant: As if we even needed to. You're your own worst enemy in that area.
Nice try. Back-track a little, as if you *meant* to say your way
was the right way and left out the part about it being right just
*for you*. True, I feel my way is the right way for me, and John's is
the right way for him, but that isn't what you said. You said your
way was the right way, period. And it's hard to believe you intended
to imply otherwise when we already know how you feel about imposing
YOUR way on others. And yes, John is right..."we" (as in YOU) are
quite presumptive.
Well, there's part of your problem. You obviously weren't raised to
respect the rights and feelings of others. If John were your father
I bet you would think differently...or at least, you would THINK.
Are you really so obtuse? There is a difference between your way
being right for you and you thinking it's so "right" you should be
able to force it on others. THAT is just about the best examples of
what a hypocrite is, so if you're looking for hypocrites, you might
check a mirror first.
We don't have to look for fights either. We are only on the defense
from self-serving liberal elitists such as yourself, who keep drawing
new legal lines in the sand and then push us over and over. We are
really sick of it, and if you had a lick of sense you would
understand that. You must be a transplant, I never knew any other

Hello Steve.  In all sincerity, I appologize in not getting back to you
sooner.
Hence, I have copied your whole post here so I can grab it easier.
I will have to get back to you a little later since the documents of the
founding fathers do bring up the subject of "Religion" in many places.  And,
by the rules, I need to get the approval of the Moderators and/or sysops in
order to post anything pertaining to "Religion" as such.  8-)
Of course, it is "Religion" as a subject and not to suck you into a `Holy

by any means.  But from me, `May your G-d bless you and prosper you  greatly
this day and on through your life.  Omeyn'

Write your reply.

assistant: Actually, during the Viet Nam conflict, William Jefferson Clinton, who had
successfully dodged the draft, was honored by the Russian Communists for
his efforts  in organizing, participating in and providing pertinate data
to the Russian Communists in the process of his giving aid and comfort to
an enemy.
You may recall, Robert K. Dornan had a group of MIA wives in Russia
seeking to find their husbands and/or remains of as many others as
possible. The Commies responded to the Dornan party by putting them in
jail without trial, or due cause.
Only intervention by others extracted the party from the Communist Jail.
Within the last week, Mr. William Jefferson Clinton was singled out as was
the DNC by witnesses from Red China along with documented evidence that
Mr. Clinton received far more data and far more funds from Red China in a
fashion so as to get Clinto elected.  Some of those funds actually turned
up right here in Southern Callifornia.
I would suppose it could have been a giant favor by the Reds in
appreciation for the "Free Lease of the Terminal Island Naval Base and
shipyard.  Then of course you know of the treasonous act of violating our
own export laws to give the REDS more modern state-of-the-art guidance and
launch equipment and procedures.
Mr. Clinton and Concubiner are perfectly welcome in Red China and in
Moscow.

p.s. A bizarre strategic disinformation campaign which comes to mind was the
reaction of the media (Toronto-area media, anyway) to the radiation leak at
Chernobyl.  The disinformation campaign was sufficiently successful that
everyone called it a meltdown and thought I was crazy when I said that it
didn't seem likely that it was.  For reasons unknown to me, the media chose

turn this into a major anti-Soviet campaign, and published news stories with
headlines like "meltdown at soviet nuclear plant" with contents such as "'It
