Stop questioning my patriotism
I caught the unbelieveably irritating Chris Matthews on one of the latenight shows, I believe it was Leno, a few days ago.
He said that anyone who goes to an Obama event and listens to him speak without shedding tears is not a good American. Dawn Summers, you are a bad American.

He may be onto something:
I happened to see him speak in Union Square. NOT as a supporter, mind you.
When he started pounding his fist on the podium and saying how we had a "RIGHT" to education... a "RIGHT" to cheap housing... a "RIGHT" to free health care...
I at first expected most people to see through this obvious peversion of the word "right". (what is the "right" to take someone else's property?)
However, after looking around, the people were eating it up...
I then began thinking that THESE are my peers and this is how easily duped they are!!! I then began weeping openly.

Hahahahahah. That was awesome.
Posted by: Karol at January 18, 2008 02:45 PMFolks, this concept of "rights" is going to last right (pun intended) until the responsible people get fed up. Then it's going to get ugly.

Pfft.
We knew that when she declared for The Patriots.
:P
BTW, I don't think I'd use the people who congregate around Union Square as a barometer of considered political opinion in this country.

The Gowanus Canal is better?
