Yes, I&#039;m saying it outright and I understood your post the first time round.

&quot;We don&#039;t agree on anything&quot;. Too right. Unlike you, I believe even the incoherent and misinformed have a right to air their opinion and that mine is not the only one.

I&#039;m rather pleased you think me an idiot. Given your political leanings, your admiration would be worrying.]]></description>

You&#039;re saying it outright? Take time to re-read my post, according to my opinion, your &quot;outright&quot; statements make you an &quot;outright&quot; idiot - I&#039;m afraid we don&#039;t agree on anything sweetheart.

You&#039;re the misinformed one here Corrine, you believe everyone has the right to have their own opinion, yet you look down upon people who have certain opinions.
I know what the far right stands for, Corinne and associating far right values do not include dictatorships (Hitler, most notorious for his right extremist values was a dictator). As the following idiom states: &lt;i&gt;&quot;once bitten, twice shy.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; we are more likely to see left-wing dictators than right-wing dictators in the future - rightists have learned their lesson.
As a matter of fact, alot of the dictatorships we see today are left-wing : Cuba? Libya? Zimbabwe?]]></description>

Aaron: I&#039;m not implying it, I&#039;m saying it outright. And I&#039;m not talking about &#039;either side&#039; of the political spectrum. I&#039;m talking about the far right, just as you are. I&#039;ll say it again, positioning yourself to the far right of the political spectrum is a disgrace, not an honour. We agree on one thing - everyone has the right to political views. Let&#039;s face it, no one can prevent you having political views, but it&#039;s the far right that can stop everyone else expressing theirs. Please do yourself a favour and brush up on the full implications of what you&#039;re talking about. We need no further evidence that the far right round here is populated by those who don&#039;t think.]]></description>

@ Corrinne Vella - Anyone implying that it is a disgrace or an honor to be on EITHER SIDE of the political spectrum is an idiot. Everyone has the right to have their own political views.

@ DCG - You&#039;re right Daphne, if we were still in the 1930s we wouldn&#039;t have free health care, impressively high stipends for students and a government which spends so much money on illegal immigrants which result in so many complaints from the opposition, all because a nationalist party in a 1930 government would still act under REAL conservative thinking. Then again, PN had to do what it had to do to get elected and I accept that - what I wouldn&#039;t accept is calling PN true nationalists when taking into consideration all these factors, moreover making up excuses about times changing. Be real, times change; political ideologies don&#039;t.]]></description>

&lt;i&gt;These people shouldn’t even call themselves Nationalists since Nationalists all across Europe have moved very far away from far rightists. It disappoints me because I am no ’suldat ta’ l-azzar’ nor a supporter of ‘ha joghlew il- prezzijiet’, but it’s disgraceful, very unPC.&lt;/i&gt;
All Nationalists who have moved as quoted &quot;very far away from far rightists&quot; should not be called Nationalists.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, of course, because we&#039;re still in the 1930s.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Oh my God, it&#039;s just brilliant how the good old Nazi terminology &quot;über alles&quot; is being used so out of proportion.
Used as a catchy phrase and not very PC either (if you insist on being PC).

In a democracy it&#039;s not only a right, it is a duty to criticise political parties or the government (to prevent the &quot;über alles&quot; mentality, by the way)  and to stir up the swamp.

A healthy democratic government NEEDS a strong opposition,  and it needs every discerning voice from every single person, the media and other political parties.

And as Daphne said, the art of spitting is used on both (or more) sides, only the virtuosity is different.]]></description>
