In the last two weeks, I've noticed a clear campaign to suppress the voices of those of us who believe in democracy and freedom. Attacks on websites, attacks on political campaign HQs, attacks on people and property, the harrassment of people at their place of work for nothing more than the expression of political thought.
Early last week, Tom Brokaw said there were people leading a Jihad against Dan Rather. A Jihad? Really sir? Regular citizens fact checking a "Journalists" work is a "jihad" when it is clear by even a casual observer that he may have abused his position as a journalist in what appears to be a ham-handed attempt to further his political views?
A Jihad? Was the choice of that word an accident, a slip of the tongue? I find it odd that the same people who decry Americans who dont take an interest in politics are the first ones who cry "Jihad" when they do.
Words like "Freedom, Liberty, Victory" should not be viewed as invectives, they are the birthright of all mankind, but to the Democrats of today, it is the equivalent of saying "Arbeit Macht Frei".
Let me tell you something: if you're unwilling to go to the trouble of learning something about what's going on in the world, including fact-checking your informants, don't participate in democracy by voting. Morons need not apply.
