Wall Street protesters: We're in for the long haul

[Ideologue]

Nah, I remember now.  You made a pretty good case that, tactically, John Brown was pretty dumb.  If the goal was to free slaves with direct action, he was bound to fail eventually; if the goal was to die a martyr and piss people off, though, he was pretty successful.

Brown's failure wasn't necessarily the plan itself--while still fatally flawed, but at least was based upon the successful slave revolts of the Caribbean--as much as it was totally underestimating the town's level of resistance.  Of course, they promptly demonstrated how they felt about the whole event with the sheer mutilation of some of the freedmen and slaves that did fight that morning.
Brown's sense of martyrdom was only realized when he was captured.

It is like pro-life anti-choice people calling pro-choice people baby killers, or pro-choice people calling pro-life anti-choice people misogynists.

[Habbaku]

Baby killer.

Huh, remember back when I was pro-life (anti-choice, whatever, Money)?  Ideologue: capable of change.

I don't remember that.  I do remember when you were Pro-Bush.  But that was back on Pdox.

You were also saddled with a psycho shitbag with Daddy issues, so yeah, you are.

I'm not sure I was ever really pro-Bush, though I was pro some Bush policies, especially the war in Iraq.  Hell, I'm still for that.

Nothing wrong with being pro bombing brown people with towels on their heads. Derka derka.

We love you too, buddy.

I always thought it was an irony that though Franco had that rhetoric he decolonised while Salazar clung on to colonial possessions to the bitter end.  I should say though that I know very little about Salazarism, I simply associate it with Francoism though I'm sure there are differences.

Easy to explain: Gibraltar is a colony and Franco did not care much about the pitiful Spanish colonial remnants.
