Ahh FloriDuh.. Land of the Hanging Chads... Now I understand.
Ahhh.... better get this outta the way before the ultraconserv goes on a rant and tells me my limited posts somehow reflects my lack of intelligence...have a PhD and almost finished with my second master's degree to add clarity to that. Sorry I've wasted my blog time actually going outside and doing something with life. ( That's me in the avatar.)
I don't disagree with some of your ideas Mac, but then again alot of your ideas and positions are rehashed from someone or something you heard before. You are the flag waving ultra conservative heartland american, by god, (YOUR god) the only one allowed in this... errr I mean YOUR country. I hope you pick up the sarcasm in that one. Some of your ideology, on education for example, is progressive, and should be applauded. Others, such as your broad support in another post for "freedom" above all else, followed by "there is no separation of church and state... it's christmas.. if you don't like it, get out..", should be noted at being pure mindless drivel, and it paints you as being prototypically scared. You, as a citizen of the United States, must be able to recognize that freedom is not just an idea meant for YOU. Freedom in this society is for EVERYONE, something generations of my family have upheld and died for.
In order to be a better country, we must listen to each other, not draw illegitimate conclusions based on irrelevant facts. That, followed by unfounded personal attacks on someone because you disagree with their own viewpoint makes you somehow less deserving of the freedom you have been given, because with that freedom comes a responsibility not to trivialize it, something you did by attacking the previous poster. Opinions are like A@@holes, everyone's got them.. only, in this country we must repect them.
