I read over at Michelle Malkin's the comparison between the idiots over at Democratic Underground and the bloggers involved in the 2996 Tribute, including myself. It has nothing to do with being part of the "right". It has to do with honoring the dead, with doing the right thing.
I am damn sure not part of the so-called right-wing. Yeah, I may vote conservative more than democrat, but if I had better candidates in the LP party to vote for, that's where I would be. I certainly don't consider myself part of the Republican Party. Politically and socially I just want the government to stay the hell out of my business.
I probably agree with Michelle Malkin more than I agree with... say... Oliver Willis, but I read them both. What is interesting to me is that most of the time they (like most of us including me) spew their opinions out into the blogosphere and want to take each others heads off. Or at least that is the impression I get. Guess what guys, some of us are smart enough to make decisions on our own. Some of us anyway, but not too many, judging by how many ass kissers hang out on various boards agreeing with 100% of what is written.
And that would be the whole point of this I guess. "Big Time" writers and bloggers have all kinds of ass kissers hanging around that will just about agree with any political commentary they want to put down, whether it be writing about Clinton being an awful womanizer (he is) or Bush unfairly giving his boys in the energy field an advantage (he does). It certainly won't stop me from visiting and occasionally agreeing though. I just think that all of the sheeple need to stop and think about what they are reading occasionally and quit screaming at each other for a few minutes.
I have never visited Democratic Underground before today, but they are apparently a bunch of fricking morons. Every single post on the main page is about the ABC 9/11 movies, and trying to discredit it. WTF? Who cares. It's television sheeple.
I started reading when I was very young. Too young to be able to tell the difference in whether something is real or not. That and I was gullible. I started reading Ian Fleming when I was eight or nine, and I LOVED James Bond. Still do. But I knew it was fiction, or at least I was pretty sure it was. At one point, I read a supposed "biography" about James Bond that someone else had done, and wrote Fleming into the book as a character as well. Damn, it was a biography. As smart a kid as I was, I went around for a long time CONVINCED that James Bond was real. It was kind of a let down when I finally figured it out, but that is what this is like. QUESTION what other people say and write. Question everything.
I think maybe I will just stick with writing about ass fucking zombies and bears.
oh my.
ass fucking zombies and bears. oh my.
ass fucking zombies and bears. OH MY.
They're coming for you Eric.

Thank you...my heart just sank when I read her post about the whole right/left thing. I never had any indication this was a political project, or I would have been turned off from participating.
DC Roe says nothing about politics. He talks about remembering. I hope that most people realize that most of us anyway are doing it without any agenda other than honoring the dead, which you so correctly said, is the right (as in correct) thing to do.
Thanks!
