No not literally. But as stupid as some people are, they would probably take it as an invite. Ok so don't shoot me. But if you would like to take away my chest congestion and cough, please feel free....
So I am perusing Facebook this afternoon and there is a link from one of the conservative groups I "like". It's about a rally at Lucasville, OH this past weekend for Gov. Strickland. According to the video and the notes accompanying it, the vet who was videotaping the rally had hot coffee poured down his back "on accident" and then got flipped off by the guy who did it. Can't honestly remember if that is assault or battery or a combo of the two, but still yet.....I commented that I hope someone has the balls to turn the dude in and that the vet should file all possible charges against him, maybe something will stick. Most of the comments are rude, vulgar, abusive and so on.
Is this what we have sunk to? The only way we can converse even in party lines is to be as insulting and rude as possible? I have my moments, but please people, use your brains. You really are more likely to be listened to and your words will carry more weight if well thought out and not of the bathroom variety.
Coming home this morning from work, I heard a song on the radio by Darryl Worley---Keep the Change....he makes his point without all the language. If you want to check it out you can find the link on my facebook page or simply look for it on youtube.I do not know if the link I put was for the official video, but it was a good one. And it made me think....do we want people in office who refuse to salute the flag? Who try to and succeed in rewriting the Constitution every chance they get? Who demand their rights while denying ours?
My grandpa on my mom's side was dyed in the wool Democrat till the day he died. He would be spinning in his grave over the way the party has bastardized what it used to stand for. It used to be the party of the people, now it is the party of corruption, greed, "I'm here to get whatever I can get and screw you". And the other party isn't any better in a lot of ways.....Pop-paw would be telling the politicians in no uncertain terms, yet like the highly moral man he was, what they could do and needed to do. And it sure wouldn't be what they are up to now.
Do you realize that when the Patriot Act came out there were all sorts of protests against the wiretapping issues and federal eavesdropping on anybody they "suspected" of being or harboring a terrorist? Well, folks, this administration is about to go one better--or maybe two or three.....They want to be able to tap into ALL communications, even like when friends IM each other, or text, or whatever. Why? Well, the answer should be obvious--they want to root out those who don't follow their belief system, whatever that may be. They want us to inform on each other and to not be "seditious" or "treasonous"...or whatever may make their lives more difficult as they seek to reprogram us all. All I can say to that is fight 'em like hell, and barring that, well, see ya in the pokey........
VOTE NOVEMBER 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
