Maybe the two of you need to go back to Big Bend, climb Brokeback Mountain again, and work out your frustrations. Oh, regarding your comments... I simply don't know what the goal of the far left actually is. Although Dick Armey's FreedomWorks movement, accused of inciting town hall meetings, brings the crazies out of the woodwork, at least I understand their motivations. These people, the so-called "right-wing extremists," are motivated by individual liberties and their belief in small government. The DHS Memo actually defines "right-wing extremists" in these terms. People that show up at townhalls are upset, but I believe they would fight for the right of their fellow Americans to have opinions, however bad those opinions might be. I ask you, then: What is the goal of those who oppose the right-wingers? What does the far left want? I'll trust your intellect will answer that question for you.

The Democrats have an idea. Give them some credit. When it all boils down I believe they want to do whats best for the american people. That may mean to us a socialistic society filled with sharing and poverty. But at least they have a plan. Whats Kevin Brady's plan?...get reelected. Just like Ted Poe. Just like Obama. Just like Gene Greene. And, o ya, everybody else. Repulicans are like leaches on land. Feeding of the sheep of the town hall meetings. O Jack stop acting like the rebuplicans arnt sheep.

I love how Rep. Kevin Brady said it at a town hall meeting in Cleveland, TX by explaining how the Czars in power simply ask, "How dare you question our judgment?" It's not a secret, and I'm not saying anything new, but it is getting scary how far we've allowed it to progress. Being a huge fan of Orwell, I see his works throughout the policies of the Administration from the controlling of information like the Thought Police in 1984 or the re-writing of rules to better suit your policies as exampled in Animal Farm. When the time comes when the American people are pushed to far and they begin the Second American Revolution, I seriously hope there are enough flag officers at the Pentagon that will unplug the line from the White House and let the people do what they need to. Hopefully they remember what they swore to defend all those years ago. Not an Administration. Not a figure-head. But to the Constitution, from all enemies foreign and (D)omestic.
