Save "traitor" for those who actually plan or take some action. Anything else is just convicting them for their thoughts. If they can actually be said to have thoughts....



Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

Traitors is much too strong a word.

My main regret is they won't learn from their stupidity when it will turn out that Obama does not found the United Socialist Republic of America finally.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

"Hypocritical assholes" seem like an even better description.

For 8 years they praised democracy and supported W's agenda of spreading it through the world... but their devotion to democracy and freedom only last as long as advantageous to them, and it is only freedom to do as THEY want you to do.

Nope, it's not. They actively attempt to subvert the Constitution of the United States of America through surrogates such as the scumbag Bush, and that, in my book, is treason.

Man, just go to the first page of FSTDT and you'll see a whole slew of entries from RR (Rapture Ready) there, all bemoaning the election results.

That's fun! I especially liked:
I don't want my kids to have to decide what their sexual orientation is. They have enough to worry about.
No shit! And on the Government form, it's not multiple-choice, but requires an essay answer. It's so hard to chose...
