talk about flag waving ignorant idealism.....

My response to this guy's letter to the editor, Lincoln Journal Star, 22NOV2006. What a tool.

"Having friends who are gay, having traveled in countries where limited socialism works,served in the military during 2001, and being agnostic, I think your ignorance has managed to invoke an offense trifecta. Bravo! If the best that the blinder Republicans can do it hearken back to a Presidency where one of the worst things that happened was a Presidential infidelity ( an event that was ignored, barely mentioned, or lauged at outright for this country's outcome in most OTHER country's in the world) I can't wait for the next election. Repuclicans seem to lump so many assumptions of what they think the world is and should be all together and then trumpet it to themselves so much I can't help but believe that it must be some sort of mental disease. If the difference between the two Party's in power is bringing my brothers and sisters back from Iraq, a possible martial infidelity in the high offices, and less reliance on the misguided and historically inaccurate notion that this country was founded be theocrats, then I can't wait for 2008."

It’s a temporary setback

I notice that there has been an undue amount of fretting and moaning in these editorial pages over the recent midterm election results. Many upright folks such as Roger Conrad (Community Column, Nov. 18) have written in to predict what seems like the imminent defeat of this proud nation because of those same results.

I’d just like to offer a brighter perspective and say, don’t worry, this Democratic Congress won’t last. This is just a temporary setback.

Though the historically efficient and mighty legislative arm of government is now in the hands of the Liberace wing, the atheist lobby, and the Socialist Quilters Club, I say, take heart.

Soon, all the people of this great nation will come around, join the Republican Party and solidify the “permanent majority.” This will certainly make for a more robust democracy by assuring uniformity of opinion.

Once that is secured, we can move to the next step of getting everyone to wear the same basic type of shirt. Ahh, what bliss we will know!
