Doesn't matter, it's just another arm of the Fear Octopus that haunts your daydreams.

Until maybe the past year or so, people I see around me have been skittering around like terrified little sheep; all you have to do is pull out some scare word like "mooosluhm" or "socialism!!!!" and people scatter in terror.

It's stopped working, folks. Most of us have woken up. The scare words and tactics are no more than updated "Commie" fears of the 1950s-60s. A majority of this country has finally caught on to that fact. The rest will be very sad on Nov. 5. And probably even more scared.

Maybe it's time you stopped living your life in fear and started thinking with a clear head. Then you might not be so quick to airily dismiss the RAGS this country has been torn into on practically every level, and start living again. And rebuilding.

I can not wait to be able to be proud of my country again.
Will they ever learn?

Michelle Bachmann , a rabid "christian" Republican calls for investigating members of Congress for "un-American" statements....and her opponent get almost 1 million dollars in contributions in the three days following her Mcarthy-ist statement....THE CHANGE IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!
