I have a few friends that are currently running for office in my state - Democrats. I always urge them to read the GTL.<BR/> My advice to them, one and all, is to get the fuck over the gun thing. If the past election was really that close, I can't help but think that a Democratic party in full support of the right to bear would have faired better, perhaps won. I know plenty of rednecks, (I'm in Nevada), that think the current leadership is incompetent at best but will not vote Democratic simply because of their alignment with the anti-gun lobby. Those who think that is B.S. really need to get out among the rural folk and see for themselves. I can't help but think where we would have been today if Kerry was endorsed by the NRA. What do you think? BTW, I favor a Springfield XD40Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11304759.post-1158152259034538782006-09-13T08:57:00.000-04:002006-09-13T08:57:00.000-04:00No, Ellie, it's not silly. Blogs right now represe...No, Ellie, it's not silly. Blogs right now represent the most accesible and cheapest method of fighting the corrupt and powerful. If my posts are good, millions can read them, free of charge, and I don't have to advertise or shill in any way (of course, sometimes I think my readership is restricted to my own friends and the few like yourself who found the site on your own).<BR/><BR/>It's no surprise that the corporation-toadying Republican thugs are seeking to further commercialize and restrict the Internet; it's simply too democratic a forum, too economical to use. One major fight is to keep the Internet freedoms we currently enjoy.<BR/><BR/>I read a lot of politics, I vote in every election, I have called senators' offices, the Supreme Court, and even Ann Coulter's boss to lodge a complaint. <BR/><BR/>But the one act that makes me feel most connected to our founding fathers and their true intent is the one I'm engaging in right now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming along for the ride and please, keep commenting, especially as you seem to have the venue all to yourself.DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449004896330560440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11304759.post-1157691149580290262006-09-08T00:52:00.000-04:002006-09-08T00:52:00.000-04:00Welcome back.

I sometimes feel like crawling under a rock and staying there until there is a new administration. At times, I wonder if there is any hope of reversing the damage that has already been done. <BR/><BR/>The important thing is that we keep on... as tempting as that rock may be sometimes, we've got to continue to take a stand, to fight against injustices and reclaim our country. <BR/><BR/>It may sound silly, but blogs can be a part of that -- exchanging thoughts, encouraging one another, supporting the cause. When the rock tempts us, it's nice to know we're not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
