Yes! I feel like that. Mostly because the idiocy of the left seems impossible to overcome. A friend was strolling through a grocery store the other day & discovered a bottle of “Leninade”. It’s just lemonade, but the bottle has the lines ‘get hammered & sickled’ & ‘worth standing in line for’ on it (very funny, huh?). She wrote a letter to the editor of the local fish-wrapper stating that communism was a benighted ideology that resulted in the deaths of one hundred million people & wasn’t a laughing matter. Someone responded on-line to the letter calling it McCarthyism. They refuse to read or understand history & it looks like we’re all condemned to repeat it as a result. Time to go stock up on more ammo.
You sound just like the Mr this morning...
It’s all overwhelming and I keep wondering where ‘bottom’ is.
Depending on the day, I'm torn between going Rip van Winkle and going Rambo.
I imagine many of us are getting closer to the latter.
Only momentarily. Then I weigh the consequences of becoming like a liberal. Too horrible to contemplate. Don’t retreat, reload.
>> make any sane person want to go someplace and hide...
Nah, that’s suicide. I’m not into suicide. Now don’t ask me about that other -cide, okay?
Then again, you said “any sane person”, and I’m not afflicted with sanity.
Yes I get where you are at right now. This entire week I have not watched the news or listened to talk radio except for 10 minute drive in the morning. I have been watching EWTN while making dinner & reading the Bible in the evenings.
Sometimes, I need a break from the world. THIS is one of those times.
In the trying times of todays world, it’s tough finding a way to have a positive attutude. I know, I too fight for one every day.
I figure that my positive attitude may not solve all of the problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ;>)

There is a reason why the world no longer makes any sense.
Hey Hoagie, you, me and lots of people on this forum
feel the same way.
BUT, we always come back so that we may stay
informed, and to enjoy the comraderie of others
who think the way we do, although we
do not always agree.
I feel isolated most of the time - I live
in the Albany NY area and am surrounded by libs.
FRiends here are so smart and funny, and I make
my cheesy comments while learning from all
of you.
I do wish FR had a brick and mortar coffee shop/bar
to gather in.
Anyway, hang in here, Hoagy. We’re all in this together.
Absolutely.
In a “proper” society we would have a FREE media, unbiased and willing to take on the LIES put out by the GOVT.
Instead, we have a compliant, complicit, disinterested and uninterested media that rolls over and gets their collective tummies scratched. They are intellectually lazy and dishonest while failing to tell the truth.
In turn, there is a majority of the American people that are also intellectually lazy and dishonest and can’t / won’t analyze or think for themselves. They drink the Kool-Aid every day.
The quality of stupidity from the Obozo Regime and their boot-licking, lap-dog media is extremely high.
Just a survey of the headlines with misleading data, especially regarding the actual ‘cost’ of extending the Bush tax rates is horrible...

Amazon Kindle has started pulling ebook erotica featuring incest from the store. In the comments section of a writing forum where this situation was discussed, conservatives were being blamed for this. The liberated types were saying what’s wrong with incest, and it’s just fiction, a fantasy, what the heck is wrong with the religious right, why do they have to complain and ruin everything for us and why is Amazon so stupid that they’d cave?
I couldn’t figure out what to say (1 v 100).
