Their minds are so twisted and depraved and their view of the world is so perverse that not only do they remain uncaring and ambivalent about their actions destroying neighborhoods and forcing people from their homes, they take the extra step of turning it around to somehow make themselves the downtrodden and opressed end of this struggle. That's tantamount to an SS officer feeling victimized after a Frenchman flipped him off on the streets of occupied Paris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-41331842251951971622008-09-11T20:15:00.000-04:002008-09-11T20:15:00.000-04:00"cupcake-enjoying youngsters from Ohio have every ...<I>"cupcake-enjoying youngsters from Ohio have every much a right to be here as you.
