This is like a fore-shock: I'm warning you people, I'm on the verge of a serious rant!
Edited on Mon May-11-09 07:02 PM by ThomWV
In the last three or four days I've written and deleted a half a dozen real eye-burners. Most were so nasty that on reflection I could not hit the "Post" button.

Wire tapping, always on my mind as every word we write is analyzed and added to the collection.
Torture and the ludicrous argument that there was good value in it.
Health Care
Republican obstructionism
Unaccountable intelligence Agencies
The least cost-effective military the earth has ever seen
Sham representation in the House of Representatives and a Rump Senate
More and more and more

I'm starting to boil again.

Soon ...

On Edit: and God damned idiots that want to talk about what tie the President wore yesterday or anything similar

4. Why would people on a Democratic site want to see pictures of a Democratic president?
Edited on Mon May-11-09 07:25 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
Especially a site that says in its mission statement that it exists to provide Democrats and other progressives a place to escape. What a bunch of idiots!

Lord. Nobody makes you click on a thread that says "PHOTOS!" It's not as though it's cryptically titled.

3. I have come to point of zen with it all.
I check out a Libertarian site that updates daily and starts with a quote of the day.

Here's today's:

"The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing." ~ Albert Jay Nock


If you can consume these little snippets and see the underlying truth in them, then nothing they do will upset you.

You will actually come to expect it.

:-( :-(
