Why We Must Fight: I am American

Every day . . .

Fighting the lies and repub spin the traditional media regularly churns out.

Fighting your fellow Christians when they say that America was 'founded' as a Christian nation.

Fighting when you get accused of being an Al Quada sympathizer and then fired, for having an Air America bumper sticker . . .

Standing up and calling bullsh*t on hate filled people like radical cleric James Dobson and this jagoff. (thanks to crooksandliars)

Fighting because you are called a traitor for having a leftie radio show, or comparing your political opponent to Osama BL . . .

Fighting because repubs will say anything to hold onto power, including a sitting vice president who says voting for John Kerry will bring on a terrorist attack . . .

Asking for a little balance and accuracy in the local frikkin' state-run paper for chrissakes . .

It's exhausting. It's maddening. It's easy to think of your opponent as the enemy after a while and not your fellow/sister American.

So here is the question . . . at which point do good repubs stand up and tell the fundies and far-righties that now dominate their party to act with decency and honor? That we are Americans first?

Don't hold your breath.

We saw the past few days that reasonable repubs like Curious Texan, will not fully denounce a bastard like Larry Kilgore, much less write a LTE to the Amarillo Globe News saying that sh*thead does not belong in his party.

Country club Repubs like Lou Dobbs have been trying to expose the Bush family connections on the smelly Dubai deal, but seen FOX do a story? Heard Hannity or O'Reilly discuss? NOPE.

Personally, you damn repubs have had your chance(s). For years now you could have stood up for conservative values. . . smaller gov't spending, no deficits, no wars of choice, keeping gov't out of people's bedrooms and lives.

But your silence has been thunderous.

Me . . . I choose to give no quarter. And since repubs control all three branches of government I make no qualms about it . . . for me repubs are the internal enemy tearing the country I love to shreds:

"A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does, of necessity, fly to anarchy or to despotism. Unanimity is impossible; so that rejecting the majority principle, anarchy or despotism in some form is all that is left." - Abraham Lincoln, first inaugural address, March 4, 1861

I fight because I am an American first.
