I can be a lot more clear here than there: people can have any view they want on the world but when you resort to blind personal attacks and political rhetoric, you've lost my respect. It's bad enough we live in a world where people take idiots like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly seriously. Moreso, I hate how people immediately want those of differing opinions to be catagorized in black and white ways. The aforementioned jerk immediately assumed I'm a Clinton loving, left-wing radical who is "under the spell of liberal media".
Well, first off I'm registered as an Independent and while Clinton was a good president, he's still reeks of political scumminess. I don't idolize him , but do I think he acted in the best interest of our country as a leader. I find ANY War an archaic form of diplomacy, though sometimes necessary-as the saying goes, there are good wars and bad wars. I obviously care a great deal about the environment and wild places. I find it disgusting that in this PC world, it's often those with the hateful and ignorant attitudes, not the "liberal tree huggers" that get bent out of shape over terminology. Moreso, I think anyone who allies themselves with any one political train of thought leaves very little room for free thinking.
So I do have my opinions.While some things are shocking in this day and age (like denying gays and lesbians equal rights), I feel it's better to let the quality of an individual supercede the vague leanings of any political stance. It's called tolerance. And if there's one thing that gets me angry to the core of my soul, it's people who lack it.
Anyhow, so I have to delete my post and stay as non-political as possible at least in the Hooked world. It's not the right forum for those type of thoughts. And I'll go against my better instincts and refrain from smashing in the windshields of cars with Pro Bush bumper stickers with a baseball bat.
