Poor baby's rage is perhaps like the roar of the lion

I think I'll skip the point-by-point reply and stick with my thoughs about the diatribe about "liberals," made famous by George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh etc. The rage commonly expressed by individuals that argue this diatribe is the same rage as that expressed by the roar of the lion as it defends its freshly-killed prey against incursions from other predators. There exists a predatory subculture sponsored by these folk heroes, whose notions of "success" are all based on conquest, the penetration of markets, the killing of enemies, successful fraud, the separation of the poor from their money and from their labor, and, last but not least, the quieting of dissent.

Never mind that these folks would like you to think of them as nice guys. The important thing is to remind them that, by their own notions of human nature, they're not.
