May. 24th, 2004 06:45 pmI am concerned about the level of hostility people are having about disagreements on political issues.
Is it just me or is it mostly the conservative types, who live in a nation that is supposed to be a haven for freedom of thought, suggest that those who disagree with the actions of our administration leave the country?
The "Love it or Leave it" card really should not be in effect here. Those of us who disagree with current actions are engaging in a "tough love" of sorts with our nation's leaders. So, there is no need to leave, but thanks for asking.
And when a nation like ours continues to take the initiative to kill Iraqis for the sake of their own freedom, the whole world has a right to comment on our actions. People should fight for their own freedom. If you cannot attain your own freedom, how the hell can you maintain it? Fighting for your freedoms is an ongoing battle.
And what was with Tom Delay's comment about Pelosi's criticisms of Bush are dangerous for Americans? Is this similar to "step on a crack, break your mother's back" superstitions? Every time you criticise American actions, an American is scared shitless? Does a puppy or kitten die, too? How about the Baby Jesus? Does dissent make him cry, too?
