Fundamentalists vs Liberals


(A semantic trap for conservatives.)

Capt. Nemo 9/21/2001

According to Tony Blair, we are seeing a conflict between fanatic fundamentalists and liberal values. [1]

According to Ariel Sharon, the terrorist attacks are an attack on our liberal way of life. [CNN Broadcast, 9/21/2001]

According to the simpleminded, the bad guys are "evil doers". (is "evildoers" one word?)

I commented: "evil is a four letter word."

Vella replied: "dumb and dumber." (referring to both Bushes at once.)

CNN says 7 out of ten Americans report some depression since the fundamentalist attacks. Three out of ten have trouble sleeping.

Here at the Metaphysics Anonymous institute for intellectual bystanders and political commentary, our research department has come up with a cure for these symptoms of depression.

It is the Three Step Program


[1]"Our beliefs are the very opposite of the fanatics - we believe in reason, democracy and tolerance... These beliefs are the foundation of our civilised world."

"They are enduring, they have served us well and as history has shown we have been prepared to fight, when necessary to defend them. But the fanatics should know: we hold these beliefs every bit as strongly as they hold theirs. Now is the time to show it."

"We have respect for human life. They do not. We hold essentially liberal values. They do not. As we look into these issues it is important that we never lose sight of our basic values." Tony Blair, address to Parliament, Sep 15, 20001


Former Prime Minister John Major says: "Fundamentalism perverts Islam, that should be perfectly clear." CSPAN broadcast 9-25-2001

Postscript: There are over 1 milion eyewitnesses. The fundamentalists fanatics are going to say: "we didn't do it, no, we didn't, it was a mistake, yeah, it was a mistake, yeah,... we aren't really fundamentalists, yeah, that's it. Hey, Put that bag back over your head, Mable!"
