Gays, Impeachment and the Secret Service.
I don't post here much anymore, but check in periodically.

The same stupid crap which motivated me to stop posting here is still going on, but a few relevant issues have come to a head. So, here are my thoughts. Ignore them at will, maybe this is just noise in the vacuum.

As to the Secret Service.....I'm surprised they have to ask for personal info on anyone who posts here. Yes, my tinfoilhat is pretty thick, but I would have figured every one of our identities had already been covered.

Gays...OH NO, they might have equal rights! Oh, no, we might lose states over this! 'Scuse me, but screw you 'tards. This is another 'we should move toward the middle' argument. Fuck, vote for Lieberman if you feel that way. Dems take care of their own, even the young veterans. If you're willing to compromise on that issue, you've lost something.

Impeachment? Will it happen, will it not? I certaintly don't know. Pelosi says it won't. Fine. I know this. These fuckers in office have tried to undermine every standard our nation was built upon. They have violated laws of humanity. They lied, and they've killed over 1 million people. They should be held accountable. We can say "screw impeachment," and probably get away with it. In the court of the world's public opinion, though, we are judged by meeting our own standards. Are we honest, or not?

1. Gasp! You're saying we should stand for principles?
That's a radical idea. At least, it is around here lately.

Thanks for the post.

5. I hear you.
And you're right.
Sometimes this place just makes me angrier and makes me glad I have People In Real Life to discuss and work with. And at least we're working on this stuff.

6. That pretty much sums it up.
Eh, it's all good in the end, but it's also good to have priorities.
