Touche!

Doncha just LOVE the way they post anonymously?

Q. What's the difference between a progressive blogger and a pit bull?

A. Nothing.

Hi , Anon,

Thanks for your input.

"What a persuasive argument you make."

Do I detect a little sarcasm in your comment?

That's OK. You see, sarcasm, hyperbole and exaggeration are used as comedic devices. Some times we non-koolade drinkers resort to humorous methods to counter the rigidity and narrow-mindedness of the right wing authoritarian koolade drinkers.

You do remember where the whole "drinking the koolade" thing started, right? It is about surrendering one's ability to question authority.

Jim Jones was the authoritarian leader of the People's Temple suicide cult. And his loyal and blind followers "drank the koolade".

Don't be concerned about this little rant, (It is a rant, you know.) failing to persuade those with right wing beliefs.

We have tried using facts, logic, reason, history, and the Bill of Rights to frame our positions.

Those are all rejected by the Bush/Cheney cult. They believe they are entitled to their own facts so there can be no common ground with mutually accepted defined terms to begin a rational debate.

For example, what does it suggest when a militaristic regime illegally spies on, and arrests, peaceful dissenters as if they were the enemy?

I remember Rush using sarcasm, hyperbole and exaggeration. I've probably actually listened to Rush a hundred times more than any Rightie has listened to say, Thom Hartmann. I don't expect it to be any other way. Those certain of their own righteousness don't need to listen to anything else.

And for that reason I thank you for reading as much as you did here.

What a persuasive argument you make. Sometimes I wonder if there are any liberal bloggers who even try to persuade anyone who isn't already on their side. Hyberbole and sarcasm generally aren't the most effective method of bringing someone around to your way of thinking. Also, given how much you think Republicans distort the truth, why did you do the same thing? You can make a strong case against the Bush administration without resorting to exaggeration. You are the classic "Sky is falling" liberal, who is dismissed as a crank by all but your fellow travellers, who all have already drunk the Kool-Aid.

I think some old-fashioned electric kool-ade might even help them. It sure wouldn't hurt.

I'm seriously considering changing my registration to Republican so I can get MY lifetime supply of hallucinigens. *end snark*

Damn I missed this the other day sorry! (Glug, Glug, Glug) Bush and Cheney will never be held Accountable Presidential Pardons for everyone! keep listening to the lies so McCain can get elected and finish destroying our America and order to replace it with their version. Take care!

Thanks, Daisy.

Police harassment of any people has its limits, even the most peaceful. Waving guns and other weapons around children is the real crime. I hope the Rainbows can better prepare for such provocation in the future.

As I commented at your site:

Merely embracing peace invites hostility in Bush Amerika.

All peace groups are suspect and under surveillance.

If Jesus were here today in the US and preaching to a crowd, the American Reich would disrupt and agitate them with the goal of arresting peace loving people.

And if Jesus was not an American, he would face being sent to Gitmo or taken by extraordinary rendition to a secret prison.

And of course, all His communications to people in the US would be seized, without a warrant, to be used as secret evidence against Him.

Bush's Empire of Evil regards peace, love, and freedom as threats to its ideology and power.

Interesting since a libertarian radio station first reported on this, so it's one of those stories of personal liberties being violated as well as the usual meaningless drug war crap.

Will Bush and Cheney ever be held accountable for anything?

It appears not.
