I am deeply angered by the MSM attacking Sarah Palin over her daughters pregnancy. “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Remember that this may be a contested election but it is not “war,” both sides would do well to remember this. If you are angry, if you are passionate, use it wisely.
This video is of a U.S. Soldier being shot in the chest. He is a U.S. Medic. He survives thanks to his body armor. The shooter was wounded in the ensuing firefight. Guess who treated his wounds?
Ugly things happen in war. Ugly things happen in politics but in U.S. politics, people don’t shout praises to their deity as they pump hot lead into your body.
Ask yourself this question, do you view Hurricane Gustav as a tragedy or an opportunity to paint your political opponents in a poor light. Do you feel the same about War? If you don’t like your answers you need to re-evaluate what you are doing with your life.
Political discussion is the air that democracy breathes. Long live debate, long live passionately held views.
During Hurricane Katrina the Interstates were clogged, people were running out of fuel and becoming stranded in the storms path. A woman driving along saw another SUV with a family very similar to her own. She began to ease over onto the shoulder to see if she could render some aid. When she got close to the stranded vehicle she noticed a sticker from the 2004 election on the SUV. She was so enraged by it that she left the family stranded there. Sound farfetched? I only know of it because she was proud enough of her actions to post it on a popular political site. The controversy caused that site to pull the original post and the thousands of positive responses as well.
If this is a war, which kind of soldier do you want to be? One who shouts in exaltation as he tries to kill his neighbor, or one who disagrees yet still treats them as human.
Could we all agree to tone down the “War Room,” “Shell Shocked,” “In the Trenches,” “Bunker,” mentality and realize this is an election and after November America will survive and you’ll still disagree with your neighbor about politics. In the mean time if you must be a political “Warrior,” why not try to be like the soldier in the video above, who treated the wounds of the man who shot him.

Clearly, the reprobates who are known as Demockacrats, liberals and leftists, and their mouthpieces called the wrongly named MSM, do not understand civil discourse.
Nor do these misogynists and misantrhopes understand anything about decency or respect.
So, now, it is the time for the Republicans and conservatives and anyone, really, who values do not lie in the gutter in which the DLL live and spawn, to pull off the gloves and engage in the street fight the DLLs appear to want.
If that means grabbing the DLLs by their figurative gonads, should they have any, the so be it.
They appear to recognize no other type of communication.
I think that we should nail them where it hurts the most, on the issues. The slimy politics of the last 48hrs should not be the norm. I've heard several refernces to this being the red meat of the blogosphere, makes me shudder. Can't I just eat my waffle?!? Sound bewildered enough?
