Letters to CNN with advice for the President. There are some letters in there that give me hope and a few that make me wonder what the hell is wrong with people.

EDIT" "It was a freshly grown pair ... of donkey testicles." *dies* I love you, Jon Stewart.

I definitely liked the one woman who thought that if we pulled out of Iraq, Saddam would come back to power.

Did you see the matching article about what's in Bush's pockets? Please tell me whoever wrote that was thinking of Gollum and the Ring at some point...

*snerk* Boy, it's a good thing it's a slow news week, isn't it? *eye roll*

Give full true backing (no lip service) to the people that voted twice to put a man in office to gain back our country. No euthanasia, no abortion, no persecution of Christians, no judicial tyranny, no homosexual privileges, no attacks on the institution of marriage, no attacks on the family, etc.

Who ARE these people? And where did all these Christians get this intense persecution complex from? You'd think America had a tiny, tiny Christian community that barely had any civil rights. Instead of,you know, the incredibly majority we really have. *sigh*

Too depressing. The fact that there are people with eyes and brains who can look around their country, who presumably read the papers or watch the news, and who can say in a public forum that he's doing a great job...

I'd almost prefer to think that it was me, that I was imagining it all, writing some weird horror story about an alien who gains the Presidency and uses insidious mind control powers to convince everyone that everything's fine. *sigh* But it isn't. The world's going to hell and he's in charge of the handbasket.

What I love is when people like that argue *simultaneously* that they're persecuted and need protection and that they're the majority, so should have everything their way. (Falwell and Robertson are masters of that art.)

I love the way they whine about the way they're being persecuted with what seems like no concept of that one time people used to feed them to lions.

Seriously, though. The religious right needs a history lesson like whoa. There have been times in history when Christians were definitely being persecuted.

But really, not in the Western world in, oh, the last couple centuries. And definitely not in America today. Isn't it something like 80% of America that's Christian? Or some other ridiculously large number.

I think they're confusing "persecution" with "people being mean to them because they're morons"

The doublethink is really impressive, I do have to say. Impressive, though, in that terrifying, 1984 kind of way.
