In case you all weren't clear

[substitute]

I’m not a Christian any more because that word in my country now means ignorant, bloodthirsty, hate-filled hypocrite and nothing more. The five of you who aren’t, I apologize.

I don’t tolerate Republicans or “conservatives” or any of that shit because you support the ideology and the party and the people who hate me, who want me and my friends dead, who say that I’m not American, and who want to strip us all of our civil rights and send us to concentration camps. This is not hyperbole; I’ve seen it all said by people in power.

My country is under occupation by a hostile power that seeks a theocracy and the abrogation of the Constitution, war without end, and the destruction of the middle class. No one who makes less than a half million a year benefits from them financially and no one who believes in the Enlightenment ideals of our country’s founders has any business agreeing with their ideas.

It’s total war now. I reject your god of conquest, your worship of wealth, your hate of everyone different or weak, and your ignorance.

Come and fucking get it and find out what armed liberals are like. .40 hollowpoints kill right-wingers too.

Jesus. You seriously need a vacation from the news, mate, or you'll end up in a clock tower somewhere. Yeah, there's a lot of fucked-up stuff about the U.S.A. that should make people angry, but what this country needs more than anything right now is reason. We have enough violence and vitriol already, and it's not doing us any good.

We all get frustrated sometimes. Just don't let it consume you.

the clock tower sounds real good about now

It's not the news. It's the people around me in this fucking county. I got to listen to a group of them talk about what to do about people like me for a while today. For about the 100,000th time. I'm ready to tear shit up.

Actually, I think that the anger is good among liberals right now. It has been the role of thinking liberals in the US for the past 30 years or so to take the moral high ground, to intellectualize and philosophize the militant conservative agenda.

The left has some extremists, radical feminists, self-serving minority leaders, etc. that have been the only voices of anger, and the rest of us have distanced ourselves from them.

But that lack of fiery motivation, of passion for our beliefs that we have been keeping inside as rational human beings is exactly why they Right has been so much more successful. It is contagious and sweeps up people into it. Which is why the south is so conservative for the first time since the Civil war.

Substitute's anger is exactly what we need now, and for the next four years till the 2008 election, in order to have a chance to retake this country.

Reason, is how we have lost control of the country to this madness.
