Three years ago today ...

...came the second "Day that shall live forever in infamy."  Upon this day in 2001, two things happened:

First, Muslim terrorists attacked mostly symbolic, mostly civilian targets using hijacked airliners as missiles, killing men, women and children, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and fellow Muslims indiscriminately, showing once and for all that they have no respect for the Five Pillars of their own professed faith.

And secondly, our government responded by switching into high gear the legislative theft of our freedom, showing once and for all that they have no respect for the Constitution they are sworn to uphold and defend.

Both were contemptible acts.  Neither should ever be forgotten nor forgiven, nor should we rest while either act remains unpunished.

Never again.

We punish those who felled the Twin Towers by hunting them down, bringing them to justice, leaving no place in which they can hide.  And we should punish those who stole our freedom afterwards by voting every last one of the lying, hypocritical bastards out of office, a little under two months from today.

You can do it.  But it'll take a whole lot of people working together.  No more asses; no more elephants -- as if you can tell the difference without a scorecard anyway.  Let's see some CHANGE around here this November.

Frankly, I think once the election is over, we ought to go hunt them down and kill them too. I suppose we could involve a judge in the process for propriety's sake, but there are a metric buttload of traitors to freedom running around out there, and I want every last one of their asses up on a pike around the Mall.

Asses are too anonymous. Heads are much more identifiable.

I find'em awfully hard to tell apart, they've been in such close proximity for so long....

so, let me get this straight (so to speak)

Are you suggesting we vote for someone other than Kerry to get Bush and his evil partners-in-crime out of office? If so, who?

Don't get me wrong; I think Kerry stinks, but given that I live in one of the "battleground" states (Nevada), I'm going to vote for him and that ambulance-chaser Edwards in order to remove the Bush administration from power. If we had preferential or proportional voting I'd do something else, but this time it's unfortunately necessary to vote for the donkey in order to get the Bush out of office.

I do take some heart from the fact that it's unlikely that the basic power composition of the Congress will change (i.e. it will likely remain dominated by the Republicans), so we'll have four years of "gridlock" if Kerry wins. I'd worry a lot more if I thought the government was going to go entirely Democratic. Kerry will be able (but willing?) to reverse a bunch of stupidities by executive order, but I bet the Congress will prevent a bunch of other socialist initiatives.

We live in "interesting times (http://www.noblenet.org/reference/inter.htm)."

I'm suggesting it's time for everyone who actually cares about their future to stop just voting Republican or Democrat "because anything else is a wasted vote." Anything else is a wasted vote because not enough people to make a difference have the balls to vote other than as they're told. The freedom of the vote doesn't matter worth a damn if you always cast your vote the way the ONE party in power (yes, ONE big statist party, with two glove puppets shaped like a donkey and an elephant) tells you to vote.

We live in "interesting times."

Indeed we do.
