An exchange between a Republican and an independent

[Th1onein]

Below is an exchange between my ex-boss and a Republican friend of his. He's get lambasted by a friend of his for passing on comments of mine. This just goes to show you the closed mindset of those who belong to the Republican party. They have been indoctrinated by Rush, himself.

____________

Ya know sometimes you just piss me off--NOW your calling me a traitor!---Now, lets go into your recent shit reply-"-WHY! would the media side with Benedict Arnold? {I guess this is saying the media are traitors) Where in my comment did I say, the military didn't have the right to keep secrets? OH yes, Ron, I have herd of spies! Its simply your opinion ( that the media is like a den of rattlers) I respect your right to say and think that way (but I somehow think that this statement was brought on by the unfavorable broadcast and print media editorials on the current administration). NO RON, I would not side with the enemy, I'm not a traitor! Sometimes I wonder if your perception of the enemy is "anyone who doesn't agree with you, or this REPUBLICAN administration--Hey Ron, this is AMERICA, ever herd of freedom of the press? (No I didn't say free to print Military secrets)--Ever herd freedom of _expression and speech. I have the right to voice an opinion, if you don't agree with it. OK---but don't call me a communist or traitor ever again RON---

If you think, that military secrets should include, the torture, humiliation, rape, brutalization of prisoners, {I don't care if they are from Iraq or Russia} then I would classify you as no better one of Adoph Hitlers exterminators, in the death camps of Europe! HEY--take your communist/traitor accusations and shove them smartly up your ass! Hey Ron, with all of these media traitors--ABC, CBS, NBC CNN, and almost every newspaper in this country, reporting on this "prison torture" story "why don't you join ole Pat Boone, turn off your TV, sit in a corner somewhere, and glaze over on the so called George W Bush, record of accomplishment, It sure would be short reading!

Thanks for the article. I'm passing this on. For what its worth., If the media didn't print and broadcast our faults, DOES MR BOONE think that everything will just work out on its own? Somebody's got to ride herd on these Politicians and the military, if they (the media didn't), we could be in a dictatorship, other than a democratic government.
