		<description>The &#039;popular&#039; election of OBAMA will front an administration who are puppets of &#039;uber&#039; controlling cabals who are intent on destroying this country&#039;s social civility, who are intent on destabilizing our economy, our ability to sustain our way of life, who are determined to subjugate this country&#039;s sovereignty to a global mentality for the convenience of an elite gang of schemers who are wholly in pursuit of their insular goals. This country is already halfway to a fascist state where citizens are considered merely as a resource for forced participation less the remuneration that made this country vital. Sad</description>

		<description>GREAT BLOG!   Here is that most endangered variety of fellow; a RATIONALIST! Someone who fosters a critical view of the world about, who does not succumb to the pandering mushery of media, of single-issue poseurs, of minority factions who complain but do nada to improve their lot.Yes, this man is a valued correspondent. The &#039;anointed&#039; fear this kind of intelligent view of the world as it is; they resent being exposed as a conciliatory gaggle who will &#039;accommodate&#039; all of us out of national sovereignty, out of capitalized social equanimity, out of our very access to what characterizes &#039;free&#039; democratic society.</description>

		<description>Comment # 879 in Ace&#039;s annual self-flagellation post!!!  

I can&#039;t believe I lingered through all that, but I was thrilled to &#039;see&#039; someone I knew enter the fray.  You vindicated what was shaping up to be a colossal waste of time!

And that last O/T point you made - you captured the issues so succinctly, if repetitively.  Kudos, sir.

God help me if you ever figure out my &#039;nick&#039; on that site...</description>

		<description>The part that makes me the sickest and the saddest out of the last 8 years or so is what&#039;s happened to my &#039;world view.&#039;  Time was, I&#039;d argue for the common decency of man and the need to &quot;bring freedom&quot; to everyone.  Shades of the falling of the Berlin Wall, and all that.

No more.  Basically, fuck Afghanistan.  We&#039;ve pushed the remnants of AQ into the mountains.  Their real power and leadership remain in Pakistan, where they&#039;ve been all along.  Let&#039;s run some black ops on those assholes, and bring the troops home.  We can&#039;t force these donkeys to drink the liberation koolaid, so they can go back to wallowing in the shit of their 8th century ideology for all I care.

Same deal with Iraq.  They&#039;re the equivalent of Kentucky moonshiners with no concept of the gift they were handed.  No more &#039;First World&#039; troops should get killed trying to drag these morons into the light.

If that rant makes me a &#039;racist&#039; (whatever THE FUCK that&#039;s supposed to mean these days), then so be it.  Humans are tribal.  As a member of an enlightened, well-meaning and basically honorable society founded from the Greco-Roman tradition, I say let&#039;s pull up the drawbridge and let the Barbarians destroy themselves.  I make no distinction there about skin pigmentation, mind, but about civic orientation.  Just so we&#039;re clear.

In the immortal words of Aristotle, &quot;When the going gets tough, the weird turn pro.&quot;  Or was that Hunter S. Thompson?  

The grain alcohol with pure rainwater jumbles up my thinking sometimes, Mandrake.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve had incidents like this while riding my bike, but I&#039;ve also had the occasional beer bottle or grapefruit thrown at me. 

Now I just drive.</description>

		<description>And suck it, Creigh Deeds!  You stuttering, lying fuck.  Virginia saw straight through you and that douchebag Steve Shannon.  Woot!  Now go, Jersey!  The alternatives are not perfect, but they&#039;re a step in the right direction.

Loved your previous post re: the religious conversion, but jumpin&#039; Jehoshaphat, son, I didn&#039;t expect a thesis on the subject!

Still, well thought out, and informative.  Bravo.</description>

		<description>In other news, I would be FASCINATED to hear what a mutual acquaintance of ours (one whom you are quite close to) thinks of this move:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/10/20/vatican.anglican.church/index.html

I did not know that religions could &#039;merge&#039; like this, like a corporate takeover.  Sort of closing the circle some 450 years after Henry VIII, no?</description>
