Misled? I'd say "delusional" is more accurate. And I would bet Laura's
stash that not a single rightie here could tell you what "projection" is.

In fact, it is projection that defines the right. The right are
followers as opposed to leaders. They copy, mimic, obey the previous
generation's emotional and intellectual outlook. They fear stepping out
of the box. In fact, they fear just about everything. Originality is
thought of as decline and so they cling to the outdated clichés of a
dying religion, philosophy, or political doctrine to establish some sort
of psychological comfort zone where they feel safe. Change is an option
to be avoided at all costs and resisted when it is thrust upon one. And
this above all: They defend their members even when they are dead wrong.
Now that's projection folks!

The left, by contrast, embraces the future and looks with optimism
toward a better one--toward the problems of the present being solved by
the intelligence of the future. They are creative and daring gamblers
because the act of creating is a destructive and, at times, even
frightening act-- bulldozing the traditional in favor of some new
perspective.

The lefties are individuals while the righties are "groupies" who are
quite at ease to have those around them be xerox copies of them inside
and out. The lefties embrace diversity while the righties think, "If
only everyone thought like me!"

All of the above is precisely why I will vote against Bush (note that I
did not say "for Kerry") in this election. He stands for everything I
find base in the human soul.

All you guys on the right, you're so pathetic. All you know how to do

I'm not going to killfile you. Why should I deprive myself of the fun
of reading your inane, barely coherent posts.

It's sad. You are so misled.
