America's New Civil War
Ceremonial taps announced the Bush supporters' assault on the anti-war activists.
America is at War. The War on Terror has not only inflamed terrorism around the world, but America's own Culture War at home.
The Red and the Blue have collided in Crawford. America's new Civil War has begun.

I'm curious as to why you would want to go to war with people who are against war. Can't you just grieve on your own, like they are doing? Does everything have to be an aggression?

Moonpie, I know how you feel, believe me, but this is a fight-or-flight situation. The ugly reality is that our country has been hijacked by neocons who break laws and get away with it while expecting their constituents to tow every line they don't drag themselves. This is not fascism (if we were living in true fascism I couldn't type this without fearing for my life) but we are long past slippery-slope and are now on a vertical trajectory towards such horrors existing in the time it will take today's children to become adults. They will never have had true freedom so will not expect it or know what it's even like, and will have been fed so much hate propaganda all their lives it shall be as unquestionable to too many of them that when you don't like what another nation's leader, you assassinate them. That people who call god by a different name and have different tribal essences are OK to murder. that sending atheists, drug users, people who have sex without having children or do it with others of the same gender, dissidents of all political stripes -- anyone who doesn't buy the crap they are selling, basically --off to some prison or gulag where they can be put to 'use'. THAT will be fascism.
And we have to stop it or run from it, which means either some sort of secession from it or guerilla war, mass exodus, or taking the assreaming they give. What would be your choice? None of them are what I'd call promising. I'm for secession.

I Agree with Z.Wanderminder. We as a people
have to stop having our Eyes Wide Shut and see
the truth. The Powers That Be with not stop
until they total control over us all "Illuminati"
I't is well overdue for a war against this power so that we my give are children or there
children a truly free life. For NOT ONE of us
today are free from this EVIL machine, Unless
your one of the "Holder Of The Light". Lets
stop being F*@#ed in the game and fight back
Wastelands.
