Due to circumstances from Neo Conservatives(rant warning)
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 02:26 PM by Snotcicles
taking control of OUR government, I find my view of the second ammendment and there view of it to be about the only thing we have in common. Although I have held this opinion for life, I have until recently not felt a need to exercise it. With all that has been uncovered about tactics used to manipulate news, the distortion of facts, the willingness of my fellow Americans to look the other way, I feel no security. Now, do I not only fear Terrorists, but see a rapid escalation in hostility toward each other within our own boarders. In no way is this a threat to anyone, merely an attempt to voice my frustration. What I find most troubling is a total lack of civility from people who hold positions once held in high reguard, intolerance accompanied by ridicule begets contempt. This supression of expression is FASCISM.
Our churchs mirror mudrassas. Our collective welfare is threathend by this manufactured hysteria.
Listening to Al Frankens show friday brought on this rant. A couple of his guests acted so badly and disresectful it had a fertilizing effect on my speculation of all things Republication. I'm a middle aged man who works hard and loves his country, for the first time in my life I find myself forced to scrutinize daily events I use to take for granted. This is uncomfortable for me, I want AMERICA back.

1. Now we understand why that man felt compelled to throw a shoe at Richard
Perle. Wouldn't we all be happy to do the same in that situation? We are so frustrated. We are left sputtering and at a loss for rational words...shouting "LIAR! LIAR!" as we rush the stage with the only weapon we have left at our disposal...our shoe!! As we insanely loft it at the nearest available representation of the madly grinning authority that is taking our liberties and our children from us without so much as a whimper from the mindless masses.
