text: Keith Olbermann?? Please. Chris Matthews? LOL These guys can't get anyone to watch their shows and in fact O'Reilly's third re-run of the day beats their first-run shows. There's a reason for that - like with Air America, people get tired of hearing "I hate Bush" every 5 seconds. Idiots like this have an easy job critizing but of course have no clue what should be done. You guys think you're losing rights now, wait until liberals get in power. Taxes will go up, gun rights will go away and they'll tell you where you can smoke - or like in Omaha you risk having 911 called on you. Here we have 2 anti-smoking bills on the ballot, one of which WILL pass. Then we have a proposal to legalize marijuana - so make drugs legal and kill all the babies you want but if you have guns or smoke you're bad! I look at the rights that effect me everyday - I don't need Jimmy Carter's son (who just moved here) telling me which rights he'll take away next. Under him and Reid this would really start looking like CA - a cesspool where they've already lost their rights.
  Please don't take this as a flame or personal attack, Valkman, it is mearly an attempt at explaining how strongly I feel the present system is wrong and dangerous. The flaw I constantly see with that reasoning, Valkman, is that I really don't give a damn if a fireman yells the house is on fire or the guy that threw the molotov cocktail yells it, I still don't want to get burned. For some reason or another, if precisely the as yet unidentified republican doesn't say it, then it must not be true. Or if the unidentified alternative is not identified and substantiated by the same unidentified republican, then we aren't supposed to worry because they will take care of us, they are our government, after all. The fact that we don't like the alternative party's agenda doesn't make the problems they are pointing out and our party is denying or justifying, any less real. I do not want a panty-waist democrat government but I do believe that we will stand up to them stronger and faster than we will a republican government that is pushing us so close to dictatorship. I cannot in good conscience, vote to support the Bush agenda again, even if the alternative is a democrat controlled house and probable revolution. IMHO, there are a lot of serious truth in what they are saying and a lot of justifying and scare tactics in what my own party is espousing. Rhetoric, excuses, scare tactics aside, I do not feel nearly as safe today as I did a year ago. My pride in my country is of the land and the people, not the military or the government. Recently one of our members went with his church to a distant place for a house raising to help a neighbor that they didn't even know, that is the America that I am proud to be a part of. When our government turns tanks on a church full of women and children and burns them to the ground, that isn't America, it is a god damned shame.
  Yep, I dislike the Dems even more than I dislike the GOP. But I will not cast my lot for the lessor of two evils anymore. The current Conservative Republican Party is not the Party I used to espouse

  There won't be any bragging and there will be a bunch of bitching. There will be every attempt possible at bending them to the will of our people. When they start their gun control crap, we'll loudly and forcefully "Just say No." The candidate that most supports the constitution, regardless of party, will get my vote.
  I know alot folks who always considered themselves Democrats voted Republican the last 2 elections because of the gun issue and War on Terrorism. Unfortunately, it is looking like that will not happend again because many of them are just that unhappy with the GWB Administration. If the Republicans want to retain the majority in Congress and stay in the White House they better do whatever it takes to sway the voters who are sitting on the fence or have shifted back to the left because of the Republicans performance. I fear the Democrats are going to be victorious in the mid-terms and in '08, I hope it's just paranoia on my part but it doesn't look good for the GOP.
  I am having a lot of sleepless nights lately. I find myself more and more agreeing with the left. I saw the Kieth Olberman piece on this and it was very good. he took the Bill of Rights and went through it line by line showing how this legislation virtually guts it. I can't stomach Bill O'Rielly anymore or Sean Hannity either. Anyone who comes on thier shows that have a world view or an opinion that is not in line with thiers is ridiculed, mocked, and called names. What ever happened to reason? When Sean Hannity had a proffessor on that raised some very serious questions about what really happened on 9/11, Hannity called him a kook and refused to listen to his evidence. I found myself siding with Allen Colmes who wanted to at least hear the guy out. Then you have O'Rielly spouting the "Big Oil Boogeyman is gouging us." So these guys are more worth watching and listening to? What ever happened to hearing the evidence first, and then debunking it by offering counter evidence. These guys refuse to hear anything that doesn't jive with thier world view. And it is all so called "journalists". Facts don't matter anymore. Geoge Wallace had it right. There is not a dimes worth of difference between them. meaning the two parties. The elitist cabals who run this country are moving us ever closer to a one world government where they will control everything. They control both political parties now. There is no such thing as a free election in this country. And there hasn't been in a long time. They play good cop, bad cop and use smoke and mirrors to make the sheeple in this country think that they actually have a say in how this nation is run and who runs it. We will be in deep doo-doo if the Democrats win? How? George Bush Sr. signed more gun control laws than any president before him or since. George Jr. has signed legislation that has deprived us of more freedom and constitutional rights than all presidents in the history of this nation together. This latest affront to liberty has gutted the Bill of Rights and given whoever our next President is, the same unfettered powers that we fought to free ourselves from 200 years ago. So we can debate the pros and cons of this party or that, but in the end does it really matter? If there are two trains and they are both headed to the same destination, does it really matter which one you choose to ride? As long as those who actually control this country can keep us all "playing" politics, then they are free to continue forming this nation into what they intend for it to be. Don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain. The show is in front of you.
  I am staunchly conservative , but too am tired of the" boosh bad/dems good" media.... Hannity gets pretty superficial when a dem guest brings up an interesting pointabout civil krights."what about xx??" hannity: " Do you support people who killed 3,000 innocent american's" but,what confronting accusers?? " Are you saying you support the killing of 3,000 innocent americans"? Yeah but we've got ann coulter in a leather miniskirt who've they got Rosie O'donnell?? I don't ever want the current crop of dems in charge but, Kieth olberman has alot of his monologues on youtube, he brings up good questions without flipping out and ranting "boosh bad- boosh baad- hillary goood.." These "patriot act"orders have been scaring the beejesus outta me ....My wife gives me the usual " if you're not a terrorist,you've got nothing to fear. Nobody should have the power to send you "away"with no legal recourse.Even if pres bush handles it responsibly what about the next or even next president? Are these orders sunsetted? what if they decide all "Patriot" sites on the net constitute threats to the government maintaining order?And you better not object if you know what's good for ya... IMHO Our unadulterated constitution is America...all military and leo ( I think ) swear to support and defend "the constitution" not the prez, chief of staff or speaker of the house.I don't believe mr bush is dangerous or Evil,but I believe he( they're) playing with the checks and balances is something very powerful and dangerous. You wouldnt crack acouple of beers, chamber a round ,cock a 1911 and toss it end over end to a buddy across thge living room. just dangerous. I just don't like it, don't like it one bit...
  p.s.One fleeting thought,classic guerilla warefare dominos:... guerillas ( aka terrorists) attack, government clamps down, guerillas attack again government clamps down severly (for your safety), public starts to see the government as the bad guy.always ends the sameway.. guerillas' cause wins, cuba,vietnam? . ever see the movie "v" for vendetta, its pretty good hollywood example of this. Love that zevon " send lawyers guns and money, the "poop" has hit the fan...
