I live alone. I've seen V for Vendetta.

32. Jesus, right now I am lit to the gills
I am mourning the death of my country. we are free until the stroke of that pen..How did it ever come to this?


To the founding fathers...I am so sorry. To those that have died preserving the constitution, I am so sorry. We let you down.










"HAVE I MENTIONED TODAY....HOW MUCH I HATE THESE PEOPLE?" :nuke:

19. You may prefer just offering him good luck
with his "dumb as a cement block" problem". ;)
Going after someone who is fully armed will only provide an excuse to raise Offense Spending.

22. I'll take my chances.
In the west, most of us do own handguns and rifles.

If you don't hear from me again, there may have been a knock at the door. But hopefully, you'd read about it unless W is successful at putting Faux News as the only "news" channel allowed or muzzled the others.

KO, are you out there still?

5. No, and I am disgusted from having a conversation
with an idiot * supporter. " I didn't pay attention to politics until 9/11 now I'm a devout * supporter and Clinton is to blame." I'm taking a xanex tonight

24. lol, the dumbass needs to take more than a zanex
I don't get these people, and they are in such a small corner, they can't defend themselves with anything intelligent, then my other loudmouth co-worker says "see I don't get into politics at work (I don't either, the chick brought it up) and the media is "liberal" and doesn't call the story straight!! I just started to laugh.

Here is why the chick brought it up: A guy at the main office was wearing a tshirt that said

"Texas got us into this mess" a spoof on the don't mess with Texas theme. and I said hey * is NOT from Texas out loud in our sales meeting, please don't insult Texas........ anywhoo

so now I'm going to go take my happy zanex that I brought back with me from Argentina and just go sleepie night night nice and comfy :)

17. As Hannity wanted for Saddam
"Rip out his fingernails until he tells us where the WMD's are".

W's America of fear, war, torture, and hatred. W's legacy. Sleep well.

15. I heard from a friend recently
that many people she's met in the course of converting to Judaism have experienced a profound connection the history of the Jewish people during the process, and that some have had nightmares involving Nazis, the Gestapo, hiding, etc.

And that's kind of how I feel now.

16. I have not seen V for Vendetta, but....
I know quite a lot about L for Life...

If I make it through tonight, I will have an opportunity to make tomorrow a whole hell of a lot better
than was today.

See?

It's easy.

18. Okay
I am going to sleep.

Now.

The thing that really freaks me out is that my own family agrees with *. Still. I guess they won't care when I disappear...?

25. It's a shock to know that the U.S. now allows torture
and suspends rights. It pisses us all off, and hurts.

But W used terra...terra...terra...and scared the sheeple into voting that way.

I'm most bothered by a right winger saying we should put land mines on the Mexican border.

America has lost any moral authority we ever had, and in fact, W and the GOP has said "We are the empirical boss" and if you don't like it, stick it up your ass.

28. I really feel like I've been hit by a train tonight.
I mean, I know how bad * is and what he has done to the country and the world. But never, in all my years, did I think America would come to this. I thought that somehow, some way, people would wake up, that the repukes in office would say "ENOUGH." That they would finally put America ahead of * and his plan of destruction. Boy was I wrong.

I read that story about the right wing wacko and her land mine idea.
My only hope there is that she volunteers to put them in place and well, you know....

26. There is nothing to fear but FEAR itself....
What will happen will happen. Fear will only weaken you. You need to be STRONG.

Our nation was founded by Strong people.... they may have had fear, but they kept it in a locked box inside their hearts.

Fear does NO GOOD.

It strengthens the enemy.

Deep Breaths........repeat.....


until you ignore it and are able to rejoin us.:pals: O8)
