This is going to get real bumpy and mucho uglier, IMO. If we lose the US Congress in November, and the treasonous liberal-demokkkRAT filth start impeachment proceedings, which they are sure to do, it's going to make it doubly-difficult to win this WOi (War On islam).
The Enemy Within™ will have successfully repeated the *VietNam Model*, without so much as the much-needed 'civil war' in America's streets, to *cleanse the Nation* of the treasonous, seditious filth. With almost 50% voting for Gore and Kerry, it's going to make the 1861-65 Civil War look tame, in comparison.
My anger, hate and rage is once again, fast approaching the *boiling point*.
Am I imagining things are worse than they actually are? Or am I not all alone?
(((sigh)))
No - Unfortunately, I'm afraid you're not ...

when out in public and around alot of people, what is scarey is that no one has any idea what is happening in the ME
Unfortunately, I've seen the very same thing in small, private, moderate, liberal gatherings. I went to two of them, and walked-out, stunned after short periods. I politely declined all further invitations, except to Conservative gatherings and parties, afterward the eye-opening evenings.
(((sigh)))
When does the empty-headed, mindless, gutless, spineless madness, end, s_f? Or, doesn't it? Does it just get worse, and we're all headed down the proverbial dumper, just by unlucky virtue of being nearby to the ~49% who voted for Gore and Kerry?
What to do, next... before TSHTF.
(((sigh)))
"Does it just get worse, and we're all headed down the proverbial dumper"
hell no, won't be that easy
we are going to have to be fighting the fights for not only ourselfs, but for those who won't
time to play cowboy and mooslims
Spc. Chris Carlson had been out of the U.S. Army for two years and was working at Costco in California when he received notice that he was being called back into service. The 24-year-old is one of thousands of soldiers and Marines who have been deployed to Iraq under a policy that allows military leaders to recall troops who have left the service but still have time left on their contract. "I thought it was crazy," said Carlson, who has found himself protecting convoys on Iraq's dangerous roads as part of a New Jersey National Guard...
