Fight or Flight: Worn-out Lefties Agonize Over Choices in Shadow of Conservative Steamroller

These people are living through the looking glass,accusing others of the very faults and crimes they scream for the right to commit

I agree. It's maddening, isn't it? Another typical M.O. for them is to loudly decry all the rampant hate on the right, and then spew such vitriol toward the "Repukes" and the "Fundies."

W. pulled in a few percentage points more this time around. The black community still votes blindly Democrat, regardless of what issues are out on the table.

You SEE clearly grasshopper...

Canada. They're not perfect, but they have bridges and tunnels to block and keep the fascists on this side of the water. They'll have to go all the way to Minnesota to cross on land, and that's 1000 miles from nowhere as far as Canada goes. Like Napoleon marching on Moscow.

I guess this clown missed the briefing on the status of the Canadien armed forces. :-)

Perhaps the answer lies in the idea that Revolutions are not usually fought by the middle class. When enough of us are pushed down out of the middle class, and are suffering the hardships of life in the lower class, we WILL rise up and take part in a true revolution.

Bwahahahahahahahaahaahaha!!!!!!!!

{Excuse off-topic rant,speaking of good states to live in:)}

Mississippi wouldn't be bad either, we really DO have beachfront property,LOL,(the Gulf Coast),and I have to admit that I'm proud that our leaders(and our governor was a 'Rat at the time!!!!!) had the integrity to allow the people to vote on the flag issue(state flag),and that even with all the threats of boycotts and everything else,even though we're the poorest state(though we annually top the list for charitable giving per income in the US),we voted to keep our old flag. For a lot of us,by that point it wasn't even an issue of "what flag", but an issue of not being blackmailed into doing or not doing something. I'm proud of Mississippi for this. And if anyone cares to look up the way the vote broke down,it wasn't as strictly as "black or white" as they might think-one or two majority black counties voted to keep the old flag,and one majority white county(not mine!) voted for the ugly "new flag". It was a matter of principle for Mississippians,ALL of us.We were all just tired of knuckling under to Jesse Jackson and his crew of extortionists.

Now if we could only do something about the chancellor of Ole Miss(my stepson's and step-daughter-in-law's alma mater),who has gotten rid of Colonel Reb,"Dixie" at half-time,and used a "no stick" rule to keep fans from carrying the flag(our state flag,mind you) at games.People don't understand,it's not just a matter of "holding on to the past",or heritage,or anything like that anymore,it's a matter of "where will it end?" if we keep on giving ground.We felt like the flag vote was as good a place to draw a line as any,since outsiders forced the issue.It's NOT always "the economy,stupid".

I often consider all that when liberals start talking about "revolution" or related nonsense-it's too funny, WE have all the guns and the know-how to use them,and as you said,the most highly trained are likely to military or ex-military,and they ARE usually conservatives.There's more to using a gun than driving by spraying bullets randomly so that you might hit your selected target,or an innocent two-year-old baby.

Yes, another breathtaking piece of hypocrisy,considering that their new head of the DNC is Howard "I hate Republicans" Dean.What really kills me is the way so much of our Republican leadership rolls over for this hypocrisy(see my own state senator Trent Lott)instead of calling them on it,when it's so obvious and would be so easy.How can our leadership stand and fight for conservative values when they won't even stand up for themselves?

Liberals spew vitriol and spittle and foam at the mouth like Hitler on a rant,and some of our leadership,especially those at the very highest levels who could make a difference,stand with their hats in their hands and say "Excuse me for breathing". When we finally have one,like Bob Dornan,who will stand up to them and give as good as they get,the MSM libels him as an "extremist"-heck,even some of our own act sheepish and ashamed that one of us DARED to call their bluff and not be tricked by the MSM's tactic of calling any conservative who doesn't let them get away with their hypocritical hatred and lies,a "loose cannon" or some such. Well, we need MORE "loose cannons",as long as they have their facts straight and their heads cool. I'd like to see a combination of Tony Blankley's intelligence,logic,command of the facts,and methodical mind,and some of Bob Dornan's "give 'em hell" attitude when they start their bullying and trying to out-scream the conservative spokesman.Surely such a person exists amongst ambitious true conservatives?

[dukeman]

Yeah, I liked that one, too!
