Russell Is At It Again

Of course, Russell, everybody to the right of Stalin is nothing but a Rush Limbaugh listening idiot that has no original thoughts of their own. Sure. I get it. What was that you were saying about absurdity awhile back? Oh yeah, you wre claiming that I have written nothing but absurdity while ignoring the image in the mirror.

Until people like you realize that you are the left's equivelent of the gay minister with the meth problem shoving your own brand of religion down people's throat, I can't take you seriously either.

And while we're on the subject of taking each other seriously, I didn't write this...so why address me with it? Oh...I suppose you think we're all sharing the same brain again and so what one righty writes, we all think... Having received our marching orders from HALLIBURTON! and our talking points from Rush Limbaugh... I get it...

That's real original thinking there Russell...

By the way, I've been the guy trying real hard to bridge the difference between the hard right and the moderate elements of my party. Can you show me that you have been anything but a shill for whatever empty suit the Ohio Democrats have put up? Honestly, I don't read your b log becuase I find you to be an insulting bore, so maybe you have...but somehow I doubt that in your bloodlust to win at all costs you managed to hang on to any principles.

Instead of maligning people, if you actually took the time to talk some sense...as you do here in the following exerpt, then we might actually have something to talk about.

For example. I support the 2nd amendment. Indeed I support all the amendments. Which is why I don't want some homophobic gay preacher whacked out on meth stuffing his religion down my throat while getting tax breaks from the government and telling my kids that great great grandpa walked the neighborhood with dinosaurs.

I support a strong national defense, so much so I actually served in the military. I just don't think we should have used it for the clusterfuck currently known as Iraq.

I think we should kick the crap out of religious islamic fanatics hellbent on destruction. I'd start by catching that son of a bitch bin Laden before rounding up a bunch of nobodies and calling them enemy combatants because it makes bed wetters feel better.

I like low taxes. But probably disagree on priorities. I think small businesses should get lower taxes before Chevron gets tax credits. I think working folk should get college tuition credits before Paris Hilton gets a break on her inheritance. Common sense shit like that really. I also happen to think that whatever the tax rates, unearned income should be taxed at the same rate as earned income.

Not having the government intrude into people's lives was once pretty conservative thinking, at least not without a judicial warrant. Which is also why I don't give a crap what gay people, or straight people do in their own homes - wearing a wedding ring or not.

I'm really not all that opposed to a ban on partial birth abortion, but if you're gonna use it as a crusade and be ridiculous about not allowing exceptions for mom's health I draw the line at that kind of extremist stupidity. I'm not all that opposed to parental notification either, but if you're gonna force a girl to have to tell her abusive father we're gonna disagree.

Indeed, if you are as concerned about abortion as I am, you'd join me is condemning Bush for appointing a freak to be in charge of family planning. You're not a serious person to be taken seriously if you think that appointment is a good idea. It's like putting a horse judge in charge of FEMA really.

I think these are all areas in which a good healthy debate between left and right can be had...of course, there are people on both sides of the aisle who will go nutty with these topics, but really these are the issues that define the divide... I'm not opposed to an honest discussion of these issues; but seriously, stop with the childishness already...you guys won a glorious victory...now act like it.
