Again and again and again. You people try & put words in my mouth. I come here and post against your partisan hatred of Bush that you call "patriotism," or being right. I am the other side from you. I don't think your radical views are right. I think they are based on a blind rage against Bush. I do not think any of you process thoughts coherently when it comes to this administration. I don't think you can. So you post more and more far out views and ideas and think they are the norm. They are not.
