text: how many of you haven't realized...? that our so-called far left liberal "friends" here are using the same fear-monger tactics that they accuse "neo-cons" of?  or how quickly they can quote goebbels and his use of repeating a lie so often that it becomes truth?  pot calling the kettle black?  hypocrites to the nth degree?  should we let them fester in their own hatred and stop even acknowledging their sly propoganda?  don't get me wrong either, i'm not a republican or "neo-con", but i do love america and hope to see it return to what it can be, a proud republic that stands for something other than party hatred. this is, at times, a gladitorial arena.  sure, there's hand grenades and flame throwers aplenty, but at times that is just the nature of the contest.  truly, i feel it gives people a place to vent their anger and frustration, among other things.  it's also a place where wit and humor come out.  i enjoy reading the comments, the trading of accusations and insults, the raw feelings that come out from both sides, and its safe..  for my real meat and potatoes, i go to forums and discussions at stanford university, which is near by. i also show up at fund raisers for our local politicians (we had an election here a few weeks ago).  sometimes it does seem kinda crass and rough, but better to get these feelings out in a safe environment than to let them stew unabated.  and one more thing; i have heard some interesting remarks from the other side that have made me think. they have good people on their side, no doubt about it.   after all, they are products of a great country. we all are.
