You got it all wrong, LH... The fucking Tea Party is like signaled that it wants to go to war with the other 90% of American who are Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Bull Mooosers, Greenies, etc...
That is OUR reality...
Ain't about my side, LH... Its about OUR country... Hey, I am realist enough to know that life involves diologue and discussion and facts and compromise... I am one of the 90% threatened by some assholes who have been put into power by some ***VERY*** rich people who want to not only get much richer but also want to position themselves as the warlords who tell the government what to do...
You got it so wrong in playing that that "Can's ya'll get along" card... That is propaganda... You, of all people should see what is going on here but you are blinded by your "Lets' see if we can work this out"... You cannot work things out with people intent on ***ruling*** you and think they have the firepower to do just that...
I love you, LH, but you have a seriously messed up way of looking just where the United States finds itself... You see it as some game that can be won with intelligence, logic and caring for the folks who are out to bury you...
You are the guy in the Moya painting who is about to be shot thru the fucking head...
Wrong as wrong can be!!! Dead as dead can be...
But he died with glory... Great... Another martyr with his papers in order...
You may be ready to stand up and say "Can't we just get along" and have Boss Hog blow you away in the streets...
