You&#039;ll have to excuse the mess. I have gone from one or two visitors to several thousand in a matter of days and have never had anyone really comment on anything. Threaded comments setting apparently isn&#039;t very easy to follow. I&#039;m playing with the settings to see if I can get something better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Gomez
Here&#039;s a suggestion:

Fix your thread so it just displays comments in line as they are posted (including replies to previous posts). It is impossible to follow the discussion chronologically the way you have it set up.

Would be a big improvement.]]></description>

Ironic in your ignorance... How funny it is that in the same paragraph you decry ignorance and &#039;frothing at the mouth&#039; - right after ignorantly frothing at the mouth in your &#039;rabid fear-mongering and shameless demonization of anyone YOU disagree with.&#039;

hostory lesson - Dear genius;  next you&#039;ll be spouting off about &quot;racism&quot;!  Your comments are the only frothing at the mouth going on here.  Communism and Nazism are quite similar - collectivization, nationalization of major industries, stringent adherence to and promotion of party proaganda, wealth redistribution - want to hear more, or are we already sick of discussing the actual subjects broght up in your rant?  These are all hallmarks of recent federal policy, so these &quot;epithets&quot; are not out of line unless one is ignorant.  The reason the Nazis and Communists fought so hard against each other in the world wars is not because they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum.  It is because they were fighting for the same base.  It continues to amaze me that 1- liberals are miserable even when they control the world, and 2- dissent is only accepted by liberals when it agrees with their warped world view.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TeaBaggers? Who&#039;s term?
What&#039;s with all the tea-bagging comments? I know about the “Tea Party” movement. I think it&#039;s great that people who don&#039;t usually get involved in politics except for voting are now exercising their First Amendment “right of the people peacefully to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. This is something we should all appreciate – a grass-roots movement of ordinary people joining together to let their representatives know their thoughts about their governing. They gathered so that “The People&#039;s voice” could be heard. They chose to honor our Founding Fathers who, over 200-years earlier and at considerable risk to their lives, did an act of civil disobedience to protest acts by those who were in power. Their act of disobedience became known as “The Boston Tea Party”, and is a part of our History of how we managed to get Britain to go back across the pond and leave us alone. The message then was, “We are America, DON&#039;T TREAD ON US! This warning has been adopted again by today&#039;s Patriots.

Hearing the slur, “TEA BAGGER”, I had no idea what the charge meant, neither did my friends. I had to find a progressive to explain it to me. I told him that I hated to be judgmental, but most of my friends would find that kind of behavior perverse and would want to stay from it. But I did promise that even though we didn&#039;t go for that kind of stuff, if I ever heard of anything like that I would let him where it was happening so he could get invlved.  Did I do wrong?

The poor boy seemed so taken with these “Tea Baggers”. He seems to know all about them. I hope he finds some soon.]]></description>

I&#039;m educated (Ph.D) and I sympathize with the tea-partiers and have been following thier progress (online) for a year now - so there goes the premise about uneducated. Next, it is easy to equate Nazis and communists since they were both totalitarian regimes wherein the state claimed total control of the economy and society under the guise of supporting the proletariat. Also, perhaps you weren&#039;t aware that NAZI was an acronym for national SOCIALISTS? That concludes the information segment of my post, now for the ad hominem attacks - you&#039;re an idiot. And if you support the current administration you must be a socialist, making you both enumerate and driven by envy. Please don&#039;t vote anymore - or reproduce.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do better - I find &quot;teabaggee&quot; to be a poor choice.  It cannot be pronounced elegantly - this term will never slide smoothly into a conversation.
