The fever pitch things are coming to is a bad, bad thing.

Conforontation will yield nothing, but blood.


And for what?


Our strategy has got to be one that reduces killing, and bloodshed, and violence, and hate.


Support the war?

That sounds like the anthesis of what most people want:


Peace.



They mow down white crosses?

We put up new ones.



They say fags are un-doing families?

We have a few over to Christmas dinner.



They say prayer in school?

We say fine; you'd better get used to the Hindus, and Jews, and Muslims, and Bhuddists, and Shintos, and Seikhs, and Catholics, and everyone else that lives here in America praying in schools, too.



They say that intelligent design and emperical science are co-equal?

Let's put each to the test of the other, and see which prevails.



Let's call them on their bluff.

1. They say evolution is only a theory. I say gravity us only a theory
when they test that by jumping off a cliff head first, I'll hear them out on the theory of evolution :evilgrin:

2. Isn't it ironic that the bushies, fundies, neo-cons et al
are actually the antithesis of everything they claim to be? Their fiscal policies destroy families, yet they point to gay marriage as the culprit; they claim to support the troops, yet they mow dowm crosses that honor their sacrifice (noble sacrifices for a lie); They claim to be uniters, yet our country is more divided than ever...I could go on and on, but you get the point. Yep the irony fairies are in overdrive thanks to bushCo. :banghead:

3. doublethink as usual
1984 may not be their playbook, but whatever they've got in mind is close.

4. it's the Two Minutes' Hate forming
For the moment, things have a cluster of causes, like homosexuality, godlessness, and terrorists. When the three coalesce, Osama bin Laden (or whover the figurehead is at the end of the process) will at last be a true Emmanuel Goldstein when he secretly dies.
