Halx... I was totally going to post that. I would quote it too... but I can't even quote a link. :P
I read this earlier and was just about to post it. It is crazy. While I think it is extremely hyperbolic for either side to call either side terrorists, I think it can be said that there are in fact some extremely mis-informed people out there. The idea that this country would ever fall into a fascist/communist/socialist state is ludicrous. These people whine, and yet they enjoy plenty of services that they themselves would consider "socialist." I went to a town hall a few weeks ago and talked to one of these people. Essentially anything the government is socialism: the FCC, municipal water, road construction, the DMV, fire departments, police services, etc. It was almost like he was advocating anarchy--what should a government do if all of these things are socialist. ESPECIALLY, Social Security and Medicare which I guarentee a large percentage of these people are drawing. Do they realize that a "socialism" is paying for their medical costs?
I can understand many of these people's points about too much government spending, and I agree. But lets not forget who started that trend--Reagan tripled the debt and Bush doubled it. I believe we should take care of our own citizens, a la healthcare, and quit taking care of the rest of the worlds, a la aid to Israel, Wars, etc. In fact, Bin Laden recently released a tape re-stating why it was America was attacked on 9/11--they guy seems pretty reasonable, terrorist or not.
That can be found here at Yahoo news. It's called "Bin Laden reportedly calls Obama 'powerless'"
Wow, I wish I had 15 posts. Lol. This is ridiculous... I can't even quote something with a link in it. So much for promoting discussion.
