A Target On Your Back?
Joel Sax at Pax Nortona has an interesting perspective, including a scary analogy, of the very real threat posed by the out-of-control extremists on the right.
Early Americans fought bravely and some lost their lives for freedom from oppression and the right to define what this country could and would become. Americans gave their lives in the struggle to gain the freedoms and civil rights afforded by the Constitution. Americans have died by the thousands in wars defending our country against aggressors who attacked us. Some of us may die in the struggle to restore sanity to the White House and sanctity to the Constitution. Are you wearing a target on your back just because you do not buy into the Administration’s programs and explanations?
It was not supposed to be this way.
Guaranteed.
By the Constitution!
Many of us are dying as you read this, fighting another man’s war. A man who does not even care. A man who does not even know he should care. A war justified by lies and perpetuated by greed and stupidity. A war paid for by our tax dollars and with our lives. War is hell. Death in war is hell. Death in this war is so hellishly, tragically wasteful. How about we just end it?
Bush and his posse do not even understand who the enemy is…they think it’s Cindy Sheehan! Who will be next on their list? You? Me?

What could be more purely GOP that BBQ-ing ‘round the pool in the Most Exclusive, Secret-Service-Protected, Gated-Community in Christendom while
Cindy Sheehan could be their best friend if they had the sense to listen to her.

Thanks for the link!
Well, darlin’s, I can only think that we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole, and we have to find the right “Drink Me”/”Eat Me” combination before the country can wake up from this Mad Hatter administration. If we could just figure out what kind of mind control W’s using on the red people, we could crack the code and free everyone from this nightmare. I believe they would thank us later, don’t you?
