In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

of the Friday LA Times: a picture of Bush campaigning in California. The caption mentioned that part of Bush's campaign theme was that Kerry sought to increase Government size. Would someone please hit Bush upside the head and point out to him that his "Administration" was directly responsible for the behemoth Department of Homeland Security which didn't shrink Government one damn bit.


Also an article about the organized Religious Right using the courts to sue those who offend them - in this case the same-sex marriages done in San Francisco. Their justification: They want laws banning such behavior because it violates their Freedoms of Religion and Speech. What the Puckered Right fails to recognize, or perhaps they do, is that if a behavior like same-sex marriages or an exposed Jackson nipple offends them and their beliefs...I believe the quote is "turn the other cheek". By striving to pass laws barring such behaviors they try to impose their beliefs on others and restrict others of their Freedoms. Freedom means exactly that - liberty to make a choice. Same-sex marriages bother you, choose to not participate in one - don't ban them. But as we discover daily the agenda of the Puckered Right led by his royal righteousness Bush is to restrict as much as possible in the name of Freedom.

Lol, there is no way Bush is going to pull this one off. He has increased the size of the government by a larger percentage than any President in history. What we need is a REAL fiscial conservative in office- something we're not going to find from either Bush or Kerry

Ironic when you lay is out like that. Restriction in the name of Freedom. Justifying the denial of rights to others by claiming they would be violating your rights just by exercising these rights. Hypocrisy, arrogance, self-righteousness. Typical Conservative Christian nonsense.
