Enemy or Opposition?
We know of the Republican's tendancy to label us as "Terrorist Sympathizer", "Unpatriotic"<---actually that would describe me :), or as "Traitors". However, what about us, do we regard Republicans as the enemy or the opposition? This is a fine distinction and one that we must be careful with. While they seem to regard us as the "Enemy" how are our feelings? Personally I feel that we should regard them as the Opposition, rather than Enemies. It is simular to a Football game, as the difference between one team defeating the other in a fair game, to systematically killing the other team to "Win". I would be much more satisfied if we can defeat them on a level playing field rather than in the streets. I would never regard them as the enemy until they decide to use violence for political gain, then they cross the line. BTW: the 2000 election debacle would be an Umpire making an extremly bad call. :)

that need to be brought to justice. They use violence for political gain. The have increased terrorism, started two wars for fun and profit.
They needed a 9/11 as an excuse for their oil/land grab.
We, the U.S., had the world with us, US. A cooperative world wide police action would have tracked down the guilty and would have done much in keeping terrorism in check.
But no, this administration shunned any help in that direction and now we stand almost alone in the middle of a tar pit of our own making that threatens to sink the last 'Super Power' to a level of a third world country. And maybe take the rest of the world with it in the name of greed for a few.
This administration is a band of lying greedy criminals that need to be arrested, tried and face long prison terms when found guilty.
