Berkeley City Council Doing Its Anti-Democracy Bit

I disagree with 99.9% of Radar's views. Some of them vehemently, some of them with open-mouthed incomprehension that anyone capable of using a keyboard could actually hold them.

That doesn't mean it's okay to make baseless accusations that someone who doesn't even post here is a criminal. And, what is more, is the type of criminal most loathed in your country with the possible exception of paedophiles.

That's like someone saying your wife's a whore and your not the real father of your kids. A hurtful statement with no intention other to belittle the poster in question.

I think we've let the extremists rant about illegal aliens too much without calling them on it. The hate you see promoted on the net probably doesn't accurately reflect the view of a nation of immigrants.

First it is not an extremist view to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. If you think there is no problem you have your head in the sand.

We are a nation of immigrants. Legal immigrants.

Actually my American date-non-date said much the same thing. He was surprised at my perception of the mood of the country and pointed out that America was a nation of immigrants. It was a new perspective for me (and I wasn't basing my opinion wholly on the Cellar).
