    I have no doubt that most "liberals" think the government of the USSR
    is repressive and nasty to its people and fellow nations.  They
    sometimes fail to point out these abuses because these failures are
    well-publicized already, greatly from the work of conservatives.
    Since we are in the "good ol' U.S. of A" (I am beginning to despise
    this expression, especially the 'of'), we have more of a chance to
    observe abuses perpetrated by our own country.  Liberals don't SUPPORT
    the Soviet Union's policies, they object to hypocrisy in judging the
    actions of our own government.  I never thought I would be paraphrasing
    Scripture, but some people take it as "Gospel", so here's a few the more
    valuable things it says in the Good Book (Christ's advice IS rather good):

	Judge not, lest you be judged.
	Let he of you who is blameless cast the first stone.
    
    Each person who pays taxes to the United States Government is RESPONSIBLE
    for everything that government does, because our government is supposed
    to represent us, especially in international affairs.  We have more of
    a right and responsibility to criticize our government than others, because
    WE are PAYING for it.

    To thine own self be true.
