a word to the wise
For all my LJ-loving friends, this is a word of warning, a word to the wise, and a word of utter exhaustion after the wringer I've been put through in the last twenty-four hours.
A couple of weeks ago, following the last presidential debate, I said some rather inflammatory things about George W. Bush in a public post in my LJ, done in a satirical style. We laughed, we ranted, we all said some things. I thought it was a fairly harmless (and rather obvious) attempt at humor in the face of annoyance, and while a couple of people were offended, as is typical behavior from me, I saw something shiny and forgot about it, thinking that the whole thing was over and done and nothing else would come of what I said.
I was wrong.
At 9:45 last night, the Secret Service showed up on my mother's front door to talk to me about what I said about the President, as what I said could apparently be misconstrued as a threat to his life. After about ten minutes of talking to me and my family, they quickly came to the conclusion that I was not a threat to national security (mostly because we are the least threatening people in the entire world) and told me that they would not recommend that any further action be taken with my case. However, I do now have a file with the FBI that includes my photograph, my e-mail address, and the location of my LJ. This will follow me around for the rest of my life, regardless of the fact that the Secret Service knows that I am not a threat.
Obviously, I cannot link to the original LJ post that I made, because I have removed it from my LJ to protect myself and those who commented in that thread from receiving any further visits from the FBI. I apologized for the miscommunication, though I did *not* apologize for voicing my opinion of George W. Bush. I will never apologize for speaking my mind. I will, however, apologize when I say something wrong way and for unintentionally offending/threatening someone, because I am an extremely nonviolent person.
After having consulted an attorney to make sure that speaking about what happened to me will not incur another visit from the Secret Service, I am making this public post to tell you all several things:
1. Once and for all, I want to state for the record, again: I am a nonviolent person. As I told the Sekkrit Service last night, I don't know how to operate a gun. I've never had any military training. I don't even know how to throw a punch. I failed gym. I duck and cover when threatened with violence. I've said before that I could never join the military because I would totally start crying and wuss out and be the worst soldier ever, not because I want to sabotage the government, but because I'm just not cut out for it.

Profile of the prototypical liberal.
And they want to tell us how to defend the country from terrorists?
Watch the parents sue! Hey, Edwards! A new case for you and your ambulence chasing scum bag cronies.
It's one thing to get gun-shy when you come under fire, it's another to stand up and scream you were born lacking testicles and be proud of it.
Love it!
This guy is worse off than he realizes. There's also now a note in his Permanent Record that his mother dresses him funny.
Actually if you are a liberal blogger you ARE a threat to the free world and use words like 'Sekkrit Service.' You're just too damned dumb to the know difference.
Think Not?
Wait till you try to go somewhere by commercial aircraft.
When the screener puts on rubber gloves and tells you to bend over, you will be more than ready to apologize.

As I have noted else where, nonviolent means different things to this bunch then to the rest of us.
To us nonviolent means, well, nonviolent. To them it means that they don't get hurt. Conservatives, police officers, military, business owners and bystanders are "fair game."
EXACTLY.
please...
but I doubt it...
probably 34.

Reminds me of the movie True Lies, where Arhnold and Tom Arnold have the Bill Paxon's character on the top of the dam. Paxon starts spewing about being worthless and pathetic.
And to think that this wimp is an "American" and a line of women stood in line from dawn to vote in Afghanistan and when a bomb was set off 100 meters from them, noone left the line.
I wish we had them and Osama had this turkey.

We just finished watching True Lies...;-D
And you are exactly right.
I hope thry roast the little ba$t@rd.
How in the world did you come across that site? I'm serious. I'm really curious.
It's going to be a belly full of laughs for me tonight watching them do their meltdown.
DU is a great resource for loser sites.
I am consistently amazed that THESE are the people that threaten violence. I've been informed numerous times by their like that a "civil war" is on the way because, because, well I'm not really sure. I think it has something to do with me being at work at 5:00am, paying my bills and owning a home.
