I have read words like yours before, in the history of russia and germany. The liberals in those countries blindly followed their leaders also. They also berated those who opposed them. Called them names and besmirched them. Then they awoke to find that they could no longer voice their opinions with fear of reprisal. My bet is that you have never read the constitution, the bill of rights, or the federalist papers. You were to busy saving the spotted owl. You will let others give their lives, so that you can freely spout your drivel and say, see how open minded i am, i support an avowed socialist in his efforts to destroy the USA. Because in your mind, elitist, you think that you should be able to tell everyone else, what their opinion is and how they should live and think. Our fore fathers came to this country to escape people like you. Now we have them again. America is waking up, enjoy your short run. In 2010 you and your kind will be voted out of congress.
