Happy Independence Day, Vigilante. Now who would have ever thought that 234 years later, we would still be battling Tories here, in the form of modern-day conservatives and Republicans?
Jeez, I thought only my dog was smart enough to do that....evidently they are related! The neighbors were shooting off their bullshit last night and Goliath picked up one and ran batshit crazy around the yard till I asked him if he wanted a cookie. Sadly, none of the rockets hit the idiot neighbors.
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
Reverend G R Gleig, survived the First Anglo-Afghan War to write in 1843:
...a war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, has Britain acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated.
My once-great country's only hope was to remove Bush from office before his term expired to permit the early repair of the devastation he created. Now the USA is on life support.
