It looks to me like a worse trauma than 9/11.

LOL!

If it's the New Jonestown, when do they take the cool-aid?

Hmmm. When you have the enemy down and out,
you continue to hit him even harder.

Fear the Bushman!

These people are so blessed to live in this country, they have forgotten to be grateful. They have nothing to be passionate about, so they get all worked up about nothing. It's the Seinfeld syndrome. It's about nothing.

" Vermont granolamobile" Love it. Afraid of a strong America? I was behind a Kerry- Edwards car yesterday with a bumper sticker that stated Bush Jr. (wrong) couldn't run a laundromat. Note, this car (not quite a granolamobile) was tailgating the poor Toyota Pirus econo-enviromobile in front of it like there was no tomorrow. This, on a small one lane road that led to the highway where there is usually a 2+ minute wait to get on. Enlightened, right?

When fear's a bumper sticker, you're probably safe.

You know, that's something these folks have no concept of: living in a country where YOU REALLY DO fear your government. Because they might come and get you in the middle of the night, along with your familly, and take you hundreds of miles away from home to a place of barbed wire, barracks, torture chambers, and mass graves.

They really think that "You might fail to enact the laws and implement the social programs I want," = fear.

Re #1

Well, we are seeing the death of a cult. It is just simple as that. The cult failed to deliver its magic when it was absolutely needed to rescue the disintegrating faith of its followers. We may be witnessing the end of the leftist cult which is more than a century old. It has struggled to regroup after the fall of communist Eastern bloc. Now it is falling apart again.

No doubt, some will drink their cool-aids. It is regrettable. However, it is inevitable.

I hope it is their jonestown. Please give the MSM the kool aid too. After this shameful reporting on the brave marine who killed the scumbag in the mosque, I think all freepers need to do everything legal we can to smash the MSM.

What are the Libbies trying to tell us? That they're so unstable that if they don't get their way they may go postal, commit suicide, or generally just go over the edge. It's a good thing they aren't running the country because I'd sure hate to think we got people that unstable with their finger on the trigger.

never in my lifetime did I believe we would be battling marxism in the US. But now I see it. This election, the leftist came so close to power they could touch it. Now exposed, they must regroup and find other methods (ex. create pure hate frenzy ,mob mentallity style for President Bush) and slogans (voting against your best interest) to advance their agenda.
And we must stand against the socialist movement which is designed to make Americans dependent on their government, thus giving certain parties power over the populace. And stand against being dragged into seeing the world through our enemies eyes.

A lot of this panty-waist, psycho-babble BS was and still is caused by the name-calling liars of the Democratic Party and their media wing . . . the MSM whores who trumpet their declarations verbatim. They only know how to demonize their opponents because none of their liberal, hold-your-hands-out programs or woe-is-me policies can win them any national elections.

When the libbers run on POLICY, they get trampled even more than they did 11/2 . . . so their only alternative has been to scare the little old ladies, the racial minorities, the Welfare careerists, and the egghead elitist pukes of the bash-America-first-last-and-always crowds from both coasts.

They can continue to call us religious, Evangelical, patriotic conservatives all the names they want . . . but it's not us "zealots" who are making the "shrink" business an out of control growth industry. We simply drop to our knees for guidance rather than climb on a couch at $300 bucks an hour.

And they call us stupid?

I thank God daily that our warriors are mostly from Red States . . . if not, we'd be no better than the French military.
