You know, I can respect that. I worked for a gun reloader back in the clinton days. Remember 'Spotlight' magazine and the worry over waco and Okie city?

I hung out with a lot of milita folks who were worried - and I was too. And the things we worried about, bush went in and did.

Remember OBE (Outcome Based Education)? I fought that here in Ohio - it is the exact same thing as no child left behind.

I fought on principle, and then the power that fought that came into power - and started to implement the very things I was against, and that they were against.

Which doesn't quite provide an example of how your life is being intruded upon. Nor shall I hold by breath waiting for such an example. I understand your fear in the abstract, I am incredibly skeptical of it being a reality in your life (unless you take a large number of phone calls from overseas on a pay-as-you-go cell).

What exactly were you and your militia buddies so concerned about that Bush did? Seriously. Name a few concrete points.

As for OBE, it is nothing like NCLB. The teacher's unions loved OBE, they hate NCLB with a passion. They are nowhere close to the same. You are incredibly misinformed on this.

Can you be just a little more pessimistic, please? I'm not quite ready to slit my wrists yet.

Seriously, if the both parties are that bad, we might as well just build a shelter, load up on canned food and ammo and await the coming dark age, which I guess your militia folks have already done. But wouldn't you rather try to salvage to country instead of leap overboard?

In your original gloatful post you mention that the GOP shouldn't be supported, in part, for: "...higher oil prices, and letting terrorists attack us at home..."

So you think too believe that the Mighty Rove (ha!) keeps his oil price dial right next to his hurricane dial in his office, rather than it being a product of international politics, economic fluctuations, and domestic environmental and business regulations? And, as for the second point, is this to imply that Bush let 9/11 happen? Or was he just completely inept? Does Clinton bear any fault at all? Does Carter?

Are you sure you haven't just become another liberal Dem supporter listing talking points?
