Readers of rec.bicycles.misc, rec.bicycles.tech, rec.bicycles.soc, uk.rec.cycling and alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent: Mr. Sherman finds it odd that Mr. Sornson does not realize that messages here are posted to a GROUP and not to an INDIVIDUAL. Furthermore, Mr. Sherman finds it odd (well, maybe not) that multiple signature separators cause a problem for micro$oft Outlook Express, since Thunderbird handles them properly. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Hillary Clinton is a corporatist You mean because she trashes Exxon-Mobil while secretly owning its stock? LOL and no friend of labor. Yeah, but Labor doesn't recognize this. Actually, the Republican's better hope that Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, since she turns off labor more than any Democratic candidate since Joe Lieberman (who has been elected in large part by cross-voting Republicans). Why does the political right hate her so much? For the same reason the political left loves her so much. (Hint: lies and opportunism.) If Sorni knew what he was talking about he would know that no one on the US left likes Hillary Clinton (and they didn't like Bill either). You're delusional, Tom. (Otherwise, insightful commentary!) Hey Sorni, Go to your library and check out some of the left/progressive magazines to see what they say about the Clintons. Or just check out some of the websites of collected opinions. You will hardly find any support for either of them, other than as the "lesser evil". Don't believe what the "left" says/writes based on what you hear on the radio. The far left is totally wacko and only equally wacko nuts like Tom Sherman would ever reference them.

While I disagree with your characterization of the people who run the Dems, you are correct that they let the most liberal faction of the party control the candidates. They're too stupid to figure out that you have to run candidates who draw votes from more that your core (since the core was voting for you already, and that' only 45% in any election). Duh. I'll claim a little artistic leeway on that description - more for color than precision, but only somewhate exaggerated. They've already shown ther stupidity this time around - expect a cakewalk for the Rep's. The only thing they have going for them is the fact that Bush is a moron, has violated the Constitution multiple times, got us into a pointless war, and has the most corrupt administration since Nixon. Even all that is probably just enough to make it a "contest" unless the Dem's dump Hillary and Obama and run a candidate that can draw votes from beyond their core (a Southerner). The Democrats can continue to run against Bush, and probably will, but inasmuch as he won't be the other name on the ballot it'll be largely wasted. I actually consider Hillary to be a significant and substantial candidate - a bit short in the personal charm department maybe but a far more serious person than the last two stuffed senatorial shirts they trotted out. Unfortunately for her she will likely come out of this insanely long primary having adopted enough leftish coloration to leave her unelectable by the general public. Southerner would help, anybody from the Midwest wouldn't hurt, and I mean the real midwest where they still have some factories and railyards and cows, not Chicago. They keep getting alliances with union officials and think that's the same as having the union vote and it isn't the same thing at all. Even now there aren't enough government workers for that to succeed. Over the decades the Republican party has evolved into a creature that feeds on New England liberals. George Foreman says fights are about styles and tactics, who has the right style to counter the other guy's game, who uses his particular skills to advantage. Let's see how this plays out. Ron |

"Tim McNamara" wrote in message ... In article , "Keats" wrote: "We" may wonder, but "I" don't wonder, because I got the straight skinny right from the horse's mouth. According to bin Laden it's because we are "infidels". And they will continue to hate us until we "come to Islam" and live under Sharia law. He has never once indicated it's because we aren't "nice" to them. In fact, in a jihad holy war "being nice" is considered weakness to be exploited. That is the simplistic construction but I think it has a lot going for it. The "death tapes" produced by various suicide bombers have made it quite clear what their motivation is. I see no reason to disbelieve their simple, clear, fervent statements. Bush is wrong again- "they" don't "hate us for our freedom," They hate us because we are not Muslim. They hate us for supporting Israel over the Palestinians. They hate us because of the failure of much of the Middle East to get out of the Middle Ages, for which it is easier to blame the modern world than the strictures of the extremist elements of Islam which prevent modernizing. There are other economic, social and cultural factors as well, which allow for the rampant, virulently hate-filled version of Islam to exist. By comparison there are many moderate Muslims whom I have met, primarily through work. They are pleasant, generous people who work hard. They are typically quiet and unassuming, a bit outside of the American mainstream and aware of it but not necessarily uncomfortable with it- and more than willing to explain their understanding of their religion with people who ask about it with sincerity. Here are some web sites to help with your Muslim studies: www.religion-of-peace-blows-up-mosques.com www.religion-of-peace-blows-up-nightclubs.com http://www.religion-of-peace-blows-u...ebuildings.org www.religion-of-peace-stones-young-girls.com www.religion-of-peace-blows-up-buses.org www.religion-of-peace-stones-married-women.com www.religion-of-peace-stones-homosexuals.com http://www.religion-of-peace-sues-at...p-of-a-hat.com snip You do realize we are in a religious war with fundamentalist Islam don't you? However, I would quibble with your use of the term "fundamentalist Islam" and would instead suggest "radical Islamists." Fundamentalists are not necessarily radicals and radicals usually have twisted the fundamentals of a faith to suit their agenda. We see it in the US with the Christianists too, the main difference being that they are not currently as violent as the radical Islamists. They have been in the past, however- just tonight on TV I watched a member of the Ku Klux Klan proudly proclaim that the KKK was a "terror group" 40 years ago. They often justify their terrorism with perversions of Christian theology. I would say that I fear the American Christianists more than I fear the radical Islamists. For one thing, the Christianists are just as nuts; for another, there are far more of them than Islamists in the US. You start out being fairly rational but then you drift so far out in left field there's no reeling you in. Go hide under you bed so the Christians won't find you. Keats |

George Foreman says fights are about styles and tactics, who has the right style to counter the other guy's game, who uses his particular skills to advantage. Let's see how this plays out. Indeed.
