Different POV's- you know how that goes Coug. The post was designed to be a poke in the eye- ignore it and get on with your most excellent life :-) Oh, a friend of mine said that we should have told Moveon.org about it- so they could have sent notices to everyone. Next time something comes up we'll have to remember to do that!

"...blinded idiot ... nutcase wingnuts ... A fish like you!! " So much hate in such a small space. "At least we believe in free speech." LOL could ya be any more hypocritical. I post about my personal exercise in free speech and non-violent protest action against something I feel is just wrong, and this is your response. You're so transparent coug ... and you missed a very inspiring speech last night while you were huddling around your food hordes.

Tool_of_the_West___________________________ "A nation that threatens inaugural performers with arrest if they make one false move is of course descending into paranoia. First, we feared and hated the other. We were told that Arabs, Muslims, and all foreigners posed a threat to our safety. The paranoia justified the Department of Homeland Security takeover of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Now all foreigners entering the United States are photographed and fingerprinted like common criminals posing for mug shots. Like every other human emotion, paranoia is contagious. It can be directed only at one group for so long. Eventually everyone becomes a suspect. Outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge has proposed that American passports require fingerprints. The suggestion came and went without comment from the vast majority of the public, following along like sheep, doing the emperor's bidding without question. That is a sure sign of insanity." blackcommentator.com
