"Fear is the Trendkiller"
From www.somethingawful.com :

Anti-Republican protestors - I cringe whenever hearing that the Republicans are planning some upcoming meeting, convention, or fundraiser to earn more money for the "Buy Jesus Christ a New Diamond Beard Foundation," not because I hate Republicans, but because I hate anti-Republican protestors even more. These loudmouthed, braindead raving cliches make me want to start voting Republican just to spite them, but naturally I avoid doing so because that would only ensure four more years of unwashed horse-like creatures parading down busy intersections while waving "BU$H IS EVIL" signs they drew with their parents' Magic Markers. ....

Quite a interesting point of view...it's the second section of an article that also mentions other things. Courage, he's not a freeper.

3. did you read the whole article?
He obliquely slams the freepers too; this was a minor political rant in a long series of non political rants.

Oh, I should throw in caveat that easily offended need not apply.

And no, I don't think I'm in the wrong place, thank you very much.

(voting for the first time ever this year, in the "D" column.)

again, just not very interesting. Another rant, and a not very well-informed one.

5. Funny stuff there...
Im not big on protesting either, so I can imagine what it must be like to have trouble getting to and from work because of snarled traffic.

I saw it in Atlanta when the Olympics was there and hated it with a passion - added an hour on to my commute.

7. Shhhh --- our lizard masters have me undercover!
Actually I do have a lot in common with the anarchist - expect the senseless violence and protesting nonsense.
