You're talking to the wind. All these guys want is to be able to smoke their crack, watch their porn, and abort their children. I disagree, and happen to admire some of the healthy concern about what exactly our government intends to do, and especially why, what are the ramifications for our, and that of others, not just Americans, future, and if it is being done honorably, fairly and according to the values that our Founding Fathers laid down so long ago. I will always stand against certain sentiments, as will I hope all of you, according to your own beliefs, and I do well understand that in the present environment, when all of us are in fact far less secure than a year ago, for many reasons - and I have stated clearly here my absolute dismay at the massive centralization of power in the federal government that has recently sailed through with nary a whistle of protest (remember 1923 Weimar and the so-called "Enabling Act"?) - emotions run very high, and it is so very easy to be pushed into a corner, to an extreme, out of fair concern. I for one respect impristine and MSI for their nerve to state sometimes unpopular sentiments. Better for all of us that we're not all parrots singing the same line again and again...

I for one respect impristine and MSI for their courage and daring to state sometimes unpopular sentiments. They may risk being wrong at times, but lo, they certainly are not afraid to take risks seeking truth, and that I greatly respect. It is what our country is all about, in my eyes. Better for all of us that we're not all monotone parrots droning the same line again and again. God help us if we ever go down that road...
