He admired the guys who want to kill us. That should be his epitaph.

The article is actually from 2004. I’m just too used to writing 2007.

It seems to me Vonnegut was doing something too few people do these days and trying to put himself in the shoes of those that oppose us.

While he may not agree with their actions, their motivations were clear to him, and he seems to admire their conviction, if not the resulting actions of those convictions.

Don’t you wish you could have something named after you?

like the Nobel Peace prize-—and Nobel invented what? For 200 points and the Puerta Viarta Vacation package...Nobel invented....

In case you haven’t noticed, our unelected leaders have dehumanized millions and millions of human beings simply because of their religion and race. We wound and kill ’em and torture ’em and imprison ’em all we want.

This vile t*rd has left this mortal coil. But his sentiments will still feed a rabid brigade.

We are NOT at war with all muslims. It just may come to that some day as the so called "moderates" have a soft spot for the Islamic supremacy ideal and a weak spine to speak out against human rights injustices in Islamic nations or even against terrorist organizations.

You are with us or with them (them being the terrorists, not "the muslims").

And I don't know what race this is that Kurt spoke of. Persian?

People like him spent way too much time trying to figure out how to be wrong about everything. It is apparently such an exhausting exercise that it leaves one embittered and close-minded.

Kurt Vonnegut lost his moral compass when it came to war during WWII and the US bombed German cities. He really saw no difference between one side or ideology and the other.

He gave up his will to fight a long time ago.

Yea, if you believe that than I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

The guy compared the man willing to take on those “virtuous conviction holders” to Adolf Hitler while misrepresenting Christianity. How intellectual according to you.

Maybe it was his bipolar syndrome showing with that idiotic remark.

Vonnegut was proud of being an atheist. I wonder what he thinks now?

I remember seeing his name on the Humanist Manifesto’s list supporters.
That pretty much tells you he was a moonbat. That and his rant about the stolen FL election, Hitler was a Christian, and everyone in the world hates us.
Gimme a break. If we’re so hated then why are so many people dying to come here?

FYI-

A point of trivia-

Did you know that Kurt Vonnegut was once Geraldo Rivera’s father-in-law. No joke. Supposedly Vonnegut hated him for cheating on his daughter.

He doesn’t think anything, he no longer exists. That is unless he was instrumental in leading souls away from God, in which case he is on hold until the torment of evil ones begins, then he’ll be reinvigorated to enjoy eternal torment.

Leftists never let the truth get in the way of their slick slogans... Plus it's so much more fun to both lie AND slander at the same time!
