Obamas sics bull **** on radical rightFollow

No, the document doesn't radicalize anyone.

On the other hand, you radicalize yourself when you put on your tinfoil hat and begin ranting about the scary DHS report and how the government set it up to attack you and intentionally leaked it to Rodger Hedgecock because of Silly Protest Day.

Although it is funny watching ten PDF pages have so much control over you.

The document in question doesn't say "all" anyone anything.

Although, speaking to someone else on this topic, I've developed a pet theory. It's no secret that the GOP has been having trouble marketing their ideas. This isn't really in question -- even leaders within the GOP have said as much. In the absence of developing a compelling message that people will listen to and say "Hey, yeah, that makes sense" I think the new GOP "marketing" campaign is this: Constantly claim persecution and give the impression that their ideas are so very, very important that the Democratic Government Machine is trying to crush them down. "Lower taxes are so scary to the Government that they'll try to label you as an extremist for wanting them! Fight the powah!" "The Government is trying to stop you from protesting on Tax Day with their scare-memo! Fight the powah!" Hell, we even have Texas Governor Perry & Tom DeLay saying "These issues are so important that we'd be willing to rip the nation asunder to defend them! Fight the powah!"

This removes any real need to discuss those issues or present them in an appealing way. Instead, they just present themselves as victims of a cruel government our to supress any mention of anti-abortion, gun rights, deficit reduction, oil drilling, etc etc etc. I mean, oil drilling must be important if the DHS thinks anyone who mentions it is a potential terrorist, right? Obviously the government is wrong on the economy if they're willing to send their jack-booted thugs out to grab you in the night if you speak about it, right?

It's a purely emotional knee-jerk technique. Now some are doing it intentionally and the rest, well, the rest got their talking point from the usual pundits.

Samy,

I'm upset because liberals are in the process of completely destroying the constitution. Of course liberals are all for that.

How you can say that with a straight face, after W's ********* is beyond me.

I could send a few over, but they're a bit short on guns. Do you think they could borrow his?

Not even in Chicago? You hypocrite.

Why do you hate our brave, noble soldiers?

Jophed,



What can't find a way to defend the waco, elian gonzalez, and ruby ridge storm trooper tactics that seem to be Democrat presidents calling cards?

But hey as long as islamic terrorists are cared for by you're good.

I did say. in fine print, that I was too lazy to look for more. It was 4/20 you know...

Due to some major issues that @#%^ed up my ability to be financially secure and my career, I'm screwed into working midnights at a store that I used to manage(although I'm being paid the same amount I was as a manager thankfully(which pays my bills, feeds me, keeps me fully stocked on cigarettes, adds money to my savings, and allows me to indulge in the occasional baggie of weed while stile having money left over every couple of weeks).

So at 4:20, I'm just waking up, and i had last night off so I was able to have a few drinks and smoke a few joints. If it doesn't interfere with the important things(work, family, friends, etc.), I feel I have absolutely no reason why I shouldn't indulge.

I miss working during the day. The night is boring, and full of drunken idiots.

However, working during the day anywhere in town that doesn't require the university or college education that I can't afford would mean I take a pay cut, so I'll gladly work the nightshift.
