Val wrote, Val, you're great at dishing it out. Why so sensitive when it comes back it you? You're father was imprisoned by Stalin? ( He's lucky to have survived. Millions did'nt!) That's sad, and quite illuminating. Why then, when searching for an example of totalitarinism, did you not use Stalin as your example, rather than the relatively benign internment of Japanese Americans during WWII?

For all our faults, America is still a shining beacon of freedom and hope for the rest of the world. If it was'nt, millions of people would not be flooding our borders every year, fighting to get in. (Funny, we don't see many people fighting to get out!)

Perhaps I was a "putz", and worthy of being beneath your contempt; if so you have my sincere apology for any slight inferred. All I know is that, in life, there can be no "Ying" without "Yang".

To equate so-called "right-wing wacko Neo-cons" with Fascism/KKK cannot be done without a comparison of "left-wing wacko Neo-coms" with Communism. To quote Einstein, "For every action, there is an equal, and opposite, reaction."


Val, you also stated, Pull-eeze! With all due respect, to equate racial profiling with genocide is to belittle and minimize the horror of true genocide.

Let me get this straight; attempting to scope out, and prevent a terroristic act, by one's potential enemies, will lead to eventual genocide? A bit of stretch, me thinks.

Even, for the sake of arguement, assuming this to be true, an armed American populace would never stand for the mass murder and cremation of millions of Arab-Americans, or any other group, for that matter. Dis-armed, hence powerless, perhaps. Hitler and Stalin, both proved this to be an undeniable fact.

Ergo, I'll draw my own half-azzed, half-baked concluesion from my own hypothesis: If you want genocide, vote anti-gun Kerry/Edwards! Seems logical, to me.
