Sightless outbursts veiled in knowledge

only loosely disguise bitter agendas.

College-bred narcissists litter global forumsÂ…

(you must be right, for your grammar excels).

Ideals, politically correct in the eyes of media puppets,

hail from the clan of the brain-washed collective.

Spewing hatred from under a mask of humanitarianism:

“freedom of choice” “right to speak”.

Pointing fingers hover perilously close to that red button.

How dare the population stand for morality,

when a propagandist can sell his soul

for celebrity accolades and far leftist followers?

Support your freedom,

                      support your troops,

                                           yet spit in the face of the fight for democracy.

Ignorant of authentic evil, true terror, real genocide and bona fide crimes against nature~

not brave enough to sacrifice for liberty; for independence; for autonomy.

(As long as itÂ’s not in your backyard, it isnÂ’t your problem)

Abortion is cool, but silicone unholy;

Severe feminists, extreme liberals, relentless traitors uniteÂ…

WOO HOOO, Michele! Way to go. You're a little more outspoken than conservative me. Good read of a growing issue.

Posted by Maureen Glaude on 07/24/04 at 09:46 AM

plenty of genius in this piece all round! Yes, those with perfect grammar and "advanced" education can get away from the truth and the right path and pretentiously try to lead others that way. My only suggestion might be to change "fighting" to "the fight"? Wonderful.

Excellent expression of political frustration. As Billy Joel once sang, we didn't start the fire, and it goes on and on and...

It's all such a mess, I wouldn't even BEGIN to know where to begin to untangle the issues. My hat is off to you, for being able to identify the issues initially and for being able to speak out about them with such clarity and force of feeling!!!

This really has my mind going in several directions and upsets me – which means it is good. Ideas and anger are eloquently and intelligently communicated here. Good job.

Well, I'm only going to be echoing the others here, but really Michele, this IS brilliant. I had to sign in just to tell you so.

A great piece =) Wonderfully done, thank you for sharing with us.

there is an old indian saying and as I am an old indian, I will retell it o'er the plains with smoke neath my blankets, that there is nill more important than life and nature and to have all critical orifices open when speech makers commence to speeching and not be so quick to follow or lead or to say yea or nay, that is what the brakes or for or the engines and if you search among the living or the graves you will see that there are no labels there but what used to be real flesh and bones. I know a real embrace when I feel one and when someone says I love you, can I trust the telling of it or the show?

Posted by Max Bouillet on 07/28/04 at 01:22 PM

Michele, this is vital, important, and shows a view that doesn't fit in a nice neat little box. So many times, if you're uncategorizable they tend to label you 'fringe' and discount you. This is excellent writing and a def must read! Thank you...... I tend to like the views of Green Party Witches!

Powerful, striking, and on the mark!

The basic human urge of a mediocre always manifests in the WILL TO POWER. And in order to attain his goals in pursuit of his urge, the mediocre is capable of crossing any boundaries. We have seen Hitler and stalin in the recent past. But the point is who fathered the Hitler? Who fathered the Stalin? Its simple, if there was no CROWD there was no Hitler. No Stalin. Hitler and Stalin are inter changeable and the Nazi CROWD will metamorphose into communists. hahaha Mediocres are dead souls with absolutely no chance to grow. So, the King shall remain King.Its better we leave them alone. hahahah
