Bob, Notice I said it came from a nutjob site. I just didn't have the
time to track down anything more reliable this morning. The list of
celebs who, both, do major fundraising for MoveOn, and pilgrimage to
Cuba, and now Venezuela is long and distinguished.
Denying it is like denying that the right here supports corporate
profits, and big business over just about every other concern, or that
the globe is warming.
I've been pretty damned cranky for about 6 weeks now as Howard well
knows. On top of doing our normal jobs, I've been dropping trees,
cutting and splitting about 8 cord of wood, and trying to get 2
additions built, and an inside update on the rest of our new house.
If it wasn't for doping I'd either be homocidal, or curled up in a
corner. Last couple of days was humping 2"x10"x16' Pressure treated
****, plywood, and 2"x6" framing. Tons of overhead work which sucks
with a bad back and two surgically repaired shoulders.
Luckily I'm a cyclist and pain is good and normal, no?;-)
Unlike the others I'm not painting the liberals, and left with the
EVIL brush. It's the activist folks who are "LIberal", "Left",
"Amerikans" that make me nuts, and unfortunately the liberal, left,
average folks don't seem willing to hold them responsible for
anything. For veterans day I'm surrounded by people who are insane
over Gitmo, but have no problem with the Hanoi Hilton, and are only
sorry more troops aren't dieing.
Picture Howard stuck in BubbaChurch evangelical, we hate musicians
unless they play the two greatest types of music, Country, and
Western, Westboro Baptist, confederate flag Alabama. I'm in the middle
of the mirror image.
A local psychologist was molesting his young teenage clients, when he
was caught at it, and charges filed, the community rallied to his
support and held protests and fundraisers for him because of his
innovative therapy methods. That's typical of here. All the recruiting
stations here closed probably 20 years ago because they couldn't keep
them in one piece. They were constantly vandalized, and I think the
final straw was a failed firebomb in the army office. The JROTC was
driven out.
I love a lot of things, and a lot of them are the same things the
liberals here love. We've got education, a great music scene, great
riding, beautiful land, cool downtowns, awesome independent/used book
stores, but the price is dealing with the insane left fascist groups
that also make or break all the politicians who cater to them, or
else. 25 years ago there was still some balance, that's long gone.
We need the balance of people on both sides, both ends of the
spectrum are full of scumbags, if the left would stop supporting
people who HATE America, and the people who've served then I could
deal with them a lot better, but when they destroy recruiting offices,
scream hate at disabled vets, and protest in support of Castro,
Chavez, the Sandinistas, etc...I have a problem with that, and my
guess is that you and most of the "liberals" that get bashed here
would to. That site aside we've had a parade to kiss Chavez ring, and
the same people are foaming about human rights. Danny Glover is
typical of this, but somehow "Liberals", and a lot of liberals deny
there's any support for these people.
You are all better people than that. A scumbag is a scumbag.
Bill C
