I got that call. I hung up
[Read the article: Voter suppression in North Carolina?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you're registered you know you're registered, I hope. Otherwise maybe you're too dumb to vote. I got that call and half a dozen other political calls, hung up on all of them. Actually they went to voice mail and I deleted them all after 2 seconds.
I'm sorry but as an informed electorate you have to claim a little responsibility to know WTF you're supposed to do. Frankly I'm shocked that Salon isn't angry that the calls weren't also in Spanish too !

Everyone else is a reporter and should report what I like
[Read the article: Did Sidney Blumenthal cross the line?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Or at least be 'unbiased. I on the other hand am a pundit and activist and must be free to blather whatever partisan nonsense I like. Except of course when it comes to anyone else claiming I'm NOT completely legit. Then I'm a reporter too. A special reporter.
Dear lord if Salon were held the standards they demand of everyone else it would be Cary Tennis and TV reviews.

People powered rickshaws
[Read the article: Who needs a fancy hybrid? Get a camel!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It gives the filthies a job, saves the crude and the planet and gets me where I want to go. I'm all for people powered transportation.

Ahhh yes Montana nativists
[Read the article: Luxury community of "conscience"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We were here long ago so you newcomers stay the hell out. If we could hardcode a limit on the total population of our fair state, we would. Because we are good and noble people and you are horrible nouveau fat bastards and we hate you.

Wright is just late to the assembly
[Read the article: Wright's theology not "new or radical"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]America is already dead and buried. You just don't know it yet. Whomever wins in Nov will be the last president presiding over a political entity that is recognizably America anyhow. God Damn America? Yeah and that's a good thing.

Damn Skippy
[Read the article: Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let all the savages be savages. 700,000 here, 1 million there. Screw them. I am with you 100% on this. We have no business worrying about or interfering in countries who's problems are fundamentally broken and unsolvable. Somalia, Congo, Iraq, all of them - they've been chopping each other up for 60 years and they will continue to do so whether liberals blame the US for that or not. What's insane is trying to make any sort of difference at all. I can't believe all the ZPG fans here aren't cheering at the genocide. After all if you want to reduce world population what better way than to encourage people who are ALREADY doing that?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well fish or cut bait as they say. Either you're on the hook to rescue every last man woman child and goat or you're not. Once you pull an Angelina Jolie and hand pick the cute furry causes and toss everyone else in the trash all you need do is cop to that preference. I couldn't care either way.
North Korea: 2 million dead from famine
Congo: 3 million dead in civil war
Algeria: 150,000 killed in Islamic violence
West Sahara: 20 year civil war
Chad/Sudan: well you know
Somalia: a bloodbath
Chechnya/Ossetia: some estimate 250,000 killed or more
Burma: who knows?
Sri Lanka: 30,000+ killed in the last 10 years
Egypt: 30,000 political 'disappearances' a year
Nigeria: some estimate 20,000 dead in the last 5 years of violence
Indonesia: still killing people in East Timor
Uganda: 350,000 killed in violence with the LRA
West Africa/Sierre Leone, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire: perhaps as many as a million killed
Biafra: 1 million dead
Now let's blame evil white Bwana American and go home. Mission Accomplished. I think when you put everything on the scales, most of the world is profoundly and structurally incapable of not pursuing genocidal murderous mayhem. But if you think wringing your hands is going to work, have at it.

Why does anyone care at all?
[Read the article: Wright's theology not "new or radical"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Even the most glint eyed zealot of a President is at best going to give lip service to any belief system, whatever concocted half assed gabble it is. Even Bush for all his halo and cross Bible thumping is at most, appeasing his even more retarded base while he pursues whatever mercenary agenda he has planned. Obama? Who cares what Rev Retard says? Do you honestly think that President Obama is going to suddenly call for all white people to vacate their homes and let all the black people move in for free, for reparations? Do you genuinely believe he's some kind of super-mole?
One thing you can count on is that even the Great Presidents were fundamentally Machiavellian whores who essentially believed in nothing but their own power. No one cares what their inner heart is telling them because they don't have one.

It's called grand THEFT auto

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not grand fuzzy wuzzy get a hug and car from Oprah and talk about your feelings and the last episode of Lost while scarfing down chocolate, auto.

So now the Birkenstock is on the other foot
[Read the article: Luxury community of "conscience"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Gentrification on a rural scale now scarin all the white folk and their horses. Didn't the economy of Montana crash through the floor in the late 70's after the EPA decided that most mining was prohibitively toxic? Maybe it's time to declare all of Montana a wildlife preserve and kick all the humans out, regardless. Just move next door to Idaho with the other angry white armed nativists.

They do an astonishing job chopping each other to bits without our help
[Read the article: Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And I for one would never presume to interfere with that cultural heritage. I agree, leave them be and let them unwind whatever destiny they have in mind for themselves. Apart from a few choice places rich westerners like to vacation, no one in the developed world will notice. I've been in the Sahel, and trust me, the 'hel' part is spot on.

[Read the article: Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well there you have it, it's all our fault. All the time, every time. This is why I personally cheer every time an American dies. 911 was a good thing and we can only pray for an atomic sterilization of the American land mass and all the little war criminals infecting the earth from there. Exterminate them all. I am 1 billion percent with you.

[Read the article: Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I tried being reasonable but here at Salon they don't do sanity all that well. Either you're the HyperChristMarxChe or you're the FatWhiteFascistHitler. there's no middle ground.
But I will tell you that I did in fact lose someone I knew in Iraq. She was fighting for the OTHER side.
