This is the last straw.

I'm so upset and angry about what the country has come to in the last three years or so. There has been a lot of "1984-ish" fear that has arisen and I'm sick of it.

Bush tried to use fear to justify his war in Iraq when he said Saddam had WMD and our freedoms were in jeopardy. He's also using the fear about another possible 9/11 attack to pass Patriot Act II so we can snoop on our neighbors to figure out if their terrorists or not. There's a lot of other fears out there today, but I don't want to point all of them out because you already know and I think you get my point.

The thing that really pisses me off is what I have read here in GD about a man who needs to go to the movies with a gun in fear of being killed by Repukes. He's been getting death threats because of his opposing views in politics. Movie theater owners have also been getting death threats because they may play the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 in their theaters.

We need to stop these Repukes from running our lives on fear. We need to stand up to them and tell them we're not afraid. What they're afraid of is the truth coming out. They know they'll be ruined if the truth does come out into the public. That's the main reason why they're trying to silence us.

I'm sick of it. :grr: :(

Thank you for reading my rant. I had to get this off my chest.
