If you are unhappy in America...and dont belive in America...you should go somewhere else..

When will the frog be sufficiently cooked for you to be unhappy? Will you leave then?

There are levels of happiness. I'm glad you are still able to hunt, if you weren't, would you be happy? How many new regulations and how much more loss of freedom will it take before you leave?

Undoubably hand picked -- no, make that *skimmed* -- from the top 1% of the pool of available Liberal-Socialists; &, by none other than Eric Sorensen himself, at MSNBC.
Right along with the rabid boor, Kieth Obermann.

The Liberal-Socialists mediot morons haven't gone away *mad* following the disasterous past 6-12 months drubbing by the right and/or the free marketplace.

Hardly.
They never went away, a'tall.

...just a momentary pause to regroup as they reinvent themselves, is all.

Unfortunately, the original article Nelson wrote has expired at MSNBC so couldn't verify what she'd actually written. Just going on the editorial above, the question to her should be, "Who's greedy, now?" She is the greedy one. Nelson knows full well she would not be able to pursue her career or write whatever she wishes about the government in Iraq, Afghanistan, or a dozen other countries, hence her decision to remain within America's borders. Simply pitiful. Jilly, grow up and quit your belly aching.

To Jill, that is good.

You and any other left winger who might have bought by the $oddomites's blood money should be really scared.

Jill, we are more scared of the enablers and apologists of the terrorists, left wing scum like you than the terrorists. You and your left wing scum try to weaken our American 24/7/365. It took al Qaeda years to bring about 9/11. Left wing mediots like you, harm us everyday.

"I too fear our government more than I do any terrorists."

The most dangerous enemy of every people its own government.

Nevertheless, it's the sword and shield of the state that I want to see wielded effectively against the very real external threats to America.

The fight against American-operated American socialism is a 24/7 struggle, however. ;^)

Of course, if she REALLY feared her government more than she feared the terrorists...

...she wouldn't have written that screed, let alone published it.

Who in America was not frightened by the terrorists after 9-11? Perhaps the folks who were not frightened are the ones we should all be frightened of.

I'm not frightened of terrorists. My chance of getting hurt or killed is way greater from some soccer mom yapping on her cell phone in her minivan, or some sales weasel doing same in his SUV. Or getting hit by lightning. Or just about anything else.

Then I shall rejoice at her fear, and do a dance to celebrate her cowering in a corner of her bathroom.

May she find her prescription for zoloft cut off.

All the laws we're loosening and streatching will eventually be used by those that come after Bush. The best thing conservatives can do when an extension of federal power is under consideration is ask, would I want this done if Hillary were president?
