3. I couldn't believe what I was reading

that paper is owned by Rabid Right Wingers, somehow it slipped by the editor. It needs published in every paper, I'm sure it will be taken off the net very quickly.

6. Yes, but further down the page

7. There were two LTEs in this weeks paper
and both were anti-right, there is another titled Liberals Have Made Our Country Better, it doesn't appear to be posted on their site. Like I said the Editor must be out of town, whoever published these will probably looking for a new job when he gets back.

8. :) Likely
Good to see, though, and thanks for sharing, it was an excellent LTE. I have family in WV, so I know there are some progressives there!

9. The author had a good letter going there and then toward the end he blew it;
Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 11:18 AM by Uncle Joe
working against his own best interests, basically making the dividing and conquering easier for the people he despises the most.

"What remains is a fringe Southern White Power party, seething with hatred, brandishing guns at political events, bullying town hall meetings, destroying anything that does not meet their standard for ideological purity. They behave like spoiled brats, taking a fit when they don't get their way. Why don't you calm down and grow up?

You are fond of telling left-wingers to love America or get out. But the Republican idea of American is a white-bread fantasy land set back in the 1950s where father knew best, and June Cleaver stayed home and baked cakes for the Beaver. Not only is it gone for good, folks, but it never existed in the first place.

I have a counter-suggestion. Why don't all you hate-mongering right-wingers move to Texas, the heart of American fascism. Then secede. Please. We'll be happy to let you go."

11. Was just about to post the same thing.
Like we don't have liberals in the South.

Our liberals here are tough and hardened. We actually have to fight with, reason with and cajole our lunatic (very small) majority.
