Everybody else in this joint puts packages with bad addresses outside my office door. So I leave a metal rack out there so there won't be a big, messy pile of boxes out there. People keep stealing my rack, so I attached a sign to it today that says, "MOVE THIS RACK ON PAIN OF TORTURE!" And underneath it says, "Cardinal Fang, get ... THE COMFY CHAIR!" I can guarantee that no one here will get that.

Meanwhile, Bill O'Reilly just called the ACLU a terrorist organization. *sigh*

Aren't they?

From their website:

In response to the delapadated state of civil liberties in the 1920's, the organization was founded to protect America’s original civic values - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In the 1920's "ACLU fought the campaign of harassment and deportation ordered by U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer against politically radical immigrants, supported the right of Industrial Workers of the World members and other trade unionists to hold meetings and organize, and secured the release of hundreds of activists imprisoned for their anti-war views and activities." Till this day, it not only works to safeguard rights such as freedom of speech, equal protection under the law, due process, and privacy, but also works to gain rights for segments of the population which have traditionally been denied many basic rights under the law. The ACLU believes strongly that if the rights of society’s most vulnerable members are denied, everybody’s rights are imperiled.

Apparently the terrorists want to destroy American bu up holding the rights the Founding Fathers gave us. It seems to be a reverse psychology plan of attack.

OMGWTFBBQ! Are you intending to assert that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are what separates America from *insert banana republic here* and our leaders have the obligation to uphold those documents? Having asserted that, are you intending to assert that an organisation that upholds those rights has the obligation to play Government vs. Civil Rights Cage Death Match?

I have a fake copy of the Declaration of Independence in my bedroom.

When I look at it, I feel proud, and sad at the same time. Proud, because I see what the founding fathers wanted America to be. Somewhere where people didn't have to be scared to about what people would do to them for believing what they believed in. Where people could walk in the streets without people screaming at them that they were "Niggers" or "Wetbacks" or something else.

And I feel sad because we're not managing to do what they wanted to be done.

Sweet Jesus. I didn't think that even Bill O'Reilly would be so bold.

Not being American, but fully informed on its more vocal personages, can I just thank you for these frequent updates on what "Bill O'Reilly says"? I love 'em. They make me feel righteous liberal rage!

Is Bil going to go stab someone next? Seriously, I'm worried about him. ACLU = terrorism is just insanity
