You've got a hell of a nerve, as a leftist liberal, whining about
restrictions on free speech after all the years of trying to make rules and
shut down advocacy around elections. If somebody sticks a sock in John
McCain's mouth and wraps duct tape around it, that will be no less than he
deserves.
Here's a libertarian point you should have been paying more attention to:
when you give government a gun, there's no telling who will get control of
it a few years later and turn it on you.
I hope every non-profit, progressive, labor, secular, social service,
charitable, educational, civic participation, issue-oriented, small group
gets slammed this year. Teach their stupid asses a well-deserved lesson.
In other news, did you hear that some white guy in Tennessee or somewhere
got a white congressman interested in investigating whether his wymmyns
studies or whatever the hell class it was was creating a "hostile
environment" for white homophobic males. My head says, defend the idiot
teacher who precipitated this, but my heart hopes they nail her up like
Jesus.
If there's one thing the left/feminazis/derridistas have proven in the last
20 years is they're just like the religious right in that they only believe
in free speech when they're not in power.

Tempts me to register bowelmoveon.org.
Years ago, I ran for Congress. I was shocked, just shocked, at the crap they
put me through. I'm so happy you might get to eat it with a spoon too. You
made this, now enjoy your shit sandwich.
