This is truly disgusting. The left wing of the democratic party and the radical socialist groups they pander to is simply beyond belief. We are living in a time when socialists disguise themselves as progressives. Unfortunately so many Americans are lemmings who are unable to think for themselves. These democrats play to these people's emotions with feel-good distortions of reality. These people are not Americans. They need to be recognized for what they are: enemies of America. They have infested every facet of our lives and have embarked on transforming this country in their image. Heed the warnings, this cancer must be purged one way or another. Time is not on our side. Watch this campaign season as liberals start referring to themselves as "progressives." They obviously realize the negative connotations to the word liberal and are trying to shed the image. Don't let them get away with it. If you hear someone mention "progressives" remind them that they are liberals. Besides there is nothing "progressive" about higher taxes, socialized health care, appeasment foriegn policy, and destructive social agendas. They should be called "regressives." I always pictured her swearing in and then ripping off her pantsuit to reveal para-military fatigues; then she puts on a black beret, raises an AK in the air and scream something in Russian as her personal Guard seals the perimeter. DON"T DO IT AMERICA! the fire burned the house right next door to mine, so if anyone should be upset its me. Guess what Sen. Boxer, haing more national guard would have done nothing to prevent, nor to fight the fires that are raging on here. I just dropped off food here at the high school in lake arrowhead for our brave firefighters and troops and there are enough up here now. The parking lot is full of trucks and men. to try and blame this on Bush's Iraq policy is nothing more than foolhearty. It denegrates your office, it denegrates the men and women fighting up here and if its possible, even denegrates your stature lower than it already is. As for those blaming the fires on global warming, since a majority have been caused by Arson or sparks from things such as welding equipment, car fires or down power lines, I hardly see how one could associate what is going on with Gore's folly. There is always going to be dry weather in southern california by October, lots of dry shrubs and trees, and things happen. Its been that way for millenia and will continue to be that way long after Gore, Reid, Pelosi and crew force their green taxes down Americans throats. I mean lets call it for what it is, this Global warming push is nothing more than a way to raise taxes without calling it a tax cut. I get so angry when liberals who arent here fighting these fires try to use them for political gain. - Good things take time...Great things happen all at once.
