		<description>From the link:

&lt;i&gt;There is no such right as &#039;the right not to be offended;&lt;/i&gt;

Something you&#039;ll find me repeating on a couple of left-wing blogs.  They often think that there is such a right; at least, for those who think like they do, or who belong to &quot;oppressed minorities&quot; (that being a redundancy in their world view).  There is no such right for white people.

&lt;i&gt;It is time we recognized that those who claim the &quot;right not to be offended&quot; have also announced their hatred of civil society.&lt;/i&gt;

Hear, hear.</description>

		<description>Ahem.  Being something of a smart guy when it comes to writing and documentation, my inner editor screamed when I saw:

&lt;blockquote&gt;...Neo Conservative Shill.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Neoconservative is one word.  Minus five for bad grammar.  (I&#039;m probably going to find a contingent of weirdoes from the People&#039;s Republic of Berkley in my driveway tomorrow.  This is going to be hard to explain at the next HOA meeting.)

So he expresses a dissenting viewpoint and they get all twisted over it?  I despise the reactionary elements in the left for the same reasons I can&#039;t stand the same in the right.  Why is it people cannot get it through their thick heads that DISSENT IS WHY WE HAVE A COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The &quot;robo-calls&quot;, I envision, would go like this:
HELLO.  THIS IS 1776 CALLING.  WE&#039;RE HAVING A REVOLT HERE.  IT&#039;S KINDA IMPORTANT.  YOU MAY READ ABOUT IT LATER.  WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THERE IS SOME STUFF THAT THE KING IS DOING WE&#039;RE A LITTLE PEEVISH ABOUT, SO WE&#039;RE GOING TO PITCH SOME TEA INTO BOSTON HARBOR AND THEN HAVE IT LARGE AGAINST OUR OVERLORDS.  THEREFORE, PLEASE SPEAK FREELY FROM NOW ON.  WE&#039;VE GOT YOUR BACK ON THIS ONE.  TRY NOT TO ONLY LISTEN TO YOURSELVES OR PEOPLE THAT AGREE WITH YOU.  DISCUSSION AND DEBATE ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL.  WE&#039;RE THE FOUNDING FATHERS AND WE APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.</description>

		<description>Odd how that site behaves. You step out of line, you get viciously mauled or completely wiped from the memory banks completely. Sounds like something that is the opposite of freedom and integrity.</description>
