Don't laugh, but I actually agree with what you said.

I'm not laughing at all, believe me. And I appreciate what you have to say. Not so very long ago, I'd have posted much the same way.

I guess the thing I'd caution you against is putting too much emphasis on the Left v. Right thing. I think it's a false premise. There are others who make the case far better than I and perhaps I can collect some of their words to better illustrate what I'm saying.

In lieu of that, just understand that it's my being so "myopic" about the issues of human life and even the Blood Trail (which turned out to be far more closely connected to programs of population control than I'd ever have dreamed five years ago) that have led me to where I am today.

Fact of the matter is that the Truth is out there ... in these really obscure places like the Congressional Record where -- if you read back far enough -- you'll find that it was the GOP who laid out the Democrats' talking points on environment, depopulation and even the economic disparity that called for a federal legalizing of this particular form of homicide.

Yeah, I'm "issues" oriented but I don't think that it gets more meaningful than a man's take on God and on the dignity of life ... EVERY human life. As if all men were created equal ... despite the Appearances by which a Terri Schiavo is dehumanized as a "vegetable" while folks can't throw enough money at Madonna or Michael Jackson or the starts of sports, porn, films and other wholly Mindless Entertainment by which WE end up the couch potatoes sucking food through a tube with eyes that can no longer see. I think the Constitution is only as durable as as the self-evident truths of the Declaration which give sense to that framework for a constitutional republic.

(What IS all this talk of democracy? Doesn't anyone remember the horror our founding fathers and de Toqueville had for the volonte generale or a people who thought to vote on virtue?)

That's why I can't participate in a system which systematically strips God -- author of our inalienable rights -- from the public square and our Private Lives and who plays God in some egalitarian attempt to make male the same as female, heterosexual the same as homosexual, and provide through technology a more perfectly culled and formed People.

And I think we'd all be much better off were we to realize right now that it's truly Life or Death and the rest is just a house of mirrors.

Particularly given the "Litmus Tests" of the moral relativists which trump every time the "personally opposed, but ..." great compromisers of Objective Reality, it's as if our political system has become a Midway in which folks carefully pick and choose among the lesser of the evil carnies, and the more glitzy of the Promised Prizes, reserving their horror for bearded ladies and other dimly-lighted freaks proffered by the press and counting on the fact they'll get a couple of coupons out of the deal good for a thrill ride or two so as to feel "alive" and take in the "big picture" of the Carnival's spectacle, before the night's over.

I always preferred the livestock barns at the Fair myself. The Midway made me nervous ... like I was going to lose one of my family members in the Hustle. I guess some things never change. =)

Look ... that left:right thing's been on my mind quite a lot lately. Maybe next week sometime when the dust has settled a bit, I can pull something together on the subject. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Night, Cold Heat.

So let's see, OBL says Arab leaders resemble the US more than they resemble OBL's apparent agenda. OBL is upset the Iraelis ousted the Communist revolutionaries in Lebanon. OBL is perfectly ok with Iran cutting natural gas and oil deals with Communist China. OBL has no problem with secret Russian oil deals (oil for food) and not to mention the presence of Russian advisors in Iraq (for years before Gulf War II). OBL credits M. Atta with masterminding the 9/11 strike against America. M. Atta traveled to Czechoslovakia between 1-3 times to meet with an Iraqi case officer (and under the watchful eye of the Czech BIS). Czechoslovakia used to be used by the Soviets to coordinate the terror network of the 1970s. The only person who happened to be in the right place at the right time to film BOTH planes slamming into the World Trade Center was a Czech national. Yes, I'd say there is more than meets the eye here.
