Subject: RE: BS: Where does the violence come from?
You guys are depressing! C'mon! Nobody has to lie down and take it. We're fighting back, remember? We're standing up for our rights, remember? I tell them all to go take a flying leap, and I ain't talking about anyone outside the White house!
The rhetoric of fear and non-control has been propogated by the White House...people have bought into it. I don't remember it ever being so pervasive during Viet Nam. I don't remember Johnson or Nixon sending out daily messages to the people of the US that they needed to be full of fear, etc.
And, there was never this kind of common people groundswell of protests worldwide, people! WORLDWIDE, even before a damn war started. This IS history in the making and I do not intend to lie down and take it. Neither should any of you!!!
I bless the shrub on his way and give thanks for that which is for the highest good of our country AND I do what I can to help.
