5. Yeah
That reminds me of what I wondered the other day. I had said, I can't talk to conservatives much anymore; they seem to be skewed, and uninformed. But...I consider myself a libertarian, and they aren't just conservative, they called "ultra conservative".

For one, I think that's misleading, because socially I think libertarians are progressive. They certainly AREN'T the one's pushing gay marriage bans. I realized then that this admin has forever perverted the concept of a "conservative". They redefined it, in the eyes of the world. I had wondered if libertarians still call themselves "conservative".

Frankly, I'd LOVE to hear one of the BushCo's discuss freedom. It's just like Henry Ford, and his first cars. He said "You can have any color you like, as long as it's black". For them, it's as if "You can be any religion you like, as long as it's a Christian denomination". You can speak freely about anything you like, as long as it's not too negative about the murders currently in power. But...you can quite publicly, as a close friend of the president of the United States, call for the assassination of the president of a foreign nation. Sure.

Free speech is "safe" speech. These monsters have thrown out almost ALL of our ideals of human rights and civil rights.

What kills me is this nation let them. The vampire was invited in.
