This coming from someone who consults a magic 8 ball?

Yeah just call me closed minded. I just can't bring myself to consider the totalitarian option for my country.

Do you really believe that the exercise of free speech and thought in America causes insurgency in Iraq? Isn't that what we are killing Iraqis to give them? Democracy? Freedom? Don't you see how when you apply a little thought outside your box or 8 ball how wrong this approach is logically, rationally, or emotionally. On all levels, after a little thought process, this Iraq "thing" is wrong for you, me, America, your children and your grandchildren. Its not protecting us from terrorism, its not improving our economy, its not helping Iraqis.
Its not hating America when you say/do this. It is exercising your right, given by the Constitution, as one of the tools to excise an unjust government controlling your country, who might try to steal the bill of rights from under your nose, spend the country into bankruptcy, or wage wars in your country's name for no good reason. This is the real rare gift we enjoy in America, why do you wrong wingers want to throw it in the toilet?
