Don't miss geedee's post (in red, hard to miss-LOL!) I understand that passion and appreciate it mightily!

And I hate, AND I MEAN HATE, to hear ANYONE using our Father's name in vain.

I used to swear in a likewise manner, many years ago, and infrequently, but still, I did it and now wish I could take back everytime I used it, now I HATE TO HEAR OUR FATHER INCLUDED in such a horrible manner.

To hear a CONGRESSMAN using our Lord's name in damning our nation makes me sick at heart.

I just wanna spank that Rangel nitwit good and hard on his pompous ass (yep, ASS, donkey that he is, < snort > ) and send him to bed with a copy of our constitution. (As if he could understand it...< sigh > )

Nothing wrong with a good four letter word now and then, but interjecting the Three letter name for GOD or the five letter name for Jesus or the six letter name of Christ is PATHETIC!

Thank you kindly. I had to go outside and walk around the block after reading the crap Rangel had to say. It hit me during the stroll that crap like THAT is THEIR plan.

THAT being screaming foul lies so loudly that the volume drowns out the hate of the message, and trying to intimidate those already put off by politics so they won't exercise their right to vote, and filling the airwaves and newspapers with such venom that nothing else gets any airtime, and before long the minority becomes the majority because us silent worker-ants are so disgusted with the whole process that we refuse to participate any longer . . . thereby making their minority and destructive views and lifestyles acceptable by reason of default.

THEIR being any perverted, traitorous sicko with a cause . . . whether it be sexual, Darwinian, political, or religious.

And, Republic, dammit, I'm not taking their BS any longer. We became the power we are because of our sense of faith . . . to these libbers and perverts God has become a four-letter word.

What I'm going to do is this . . . EVERY TIME some jackass like Rangel spews vile and despicable crap, me and a few friends are going to approach the SAME entity -- whether it be a newspaper or TV channel -- and try to "coerce" them into seeing it for the poison that it is. If they can't be reasoned with, or won't give us a "free" venue to air an opposite view, we're going to try and pay for the privilege. In other words, if the New York Slimes is carrying something untrue and/or wrong and they refuse to listen to us, as you and I both know they do all the time and will certainly ignore us, we're planning on taking out advertisements explaining both situations -- that the Slimes is an unapologetic mouthpiece for racist hate-mongers. Where? I don't know yet, there's only three of us on board so far and I'm sure the Slimes' ad rates are prohibitive. None of us are rich, but we're not poor either. I've already told my family not to expect an inheritance and we'll just do the best we can.

Will we make a difference? Hell no, we know that. Not at first. And not by ourselves. But I'm too damned old to be embarrassed and too damned stubborn to care what others think . . . so we're gonna make a lotta noise, Republic. You'll hear us one day. Then you'll start doing something. Then someone else will hear you and they'll start doing something. And so it goes . . . before long we'll be a force to be reckoned with instead of the silent doormats we are now.

Taking on and neutering the hate-filled zealots is far more important than anything else I could leave the next generation. Hell, Republic, they became so damn powerful on my generation's watch and it's only fair that we be the ones to take them on.

Us baby-boomers have become complacent. While we worried about supporting our families and trying to assure their lives would be fuller than ours, we've lost sight of the truly important things. Nothing else matters if you don't have faith. Nothing else matters if you don't have self-respect. Nothing else matters if deviancy becomes normal and acceptable. Nothing else matters if the so-called Progressives get and retain power because they'll progress our asses out of business just like Caligula did the Romans.

Historians will tell you the Roman Empire fell somewhere between 400-500 A.D. They're wrong. The Roman Empire fell between 37-41 A.D. -- when Caligula ruled. It only took the world 400 more years to realize it.

Charles Rangel is our Caligula. Pee Wee Clinton is our Caligula. Teddy Kennedy is our Caligula. Every disjointed pervert is our Caligula.

But me and a few of my friends are going to start fighting back tomorrow. I refuse to let jackasses like Charles Rangel win.
