You're all over the place yet nowhere. Honestly I don't know what Doug was thinking.

I am out of line searching for a team of thinkers to inspire some hope for our future. I have not a drop of Liberal blood but there are enough Liberals as pissed off with the system as I am. I will not again try to inspire anything else. I would like to think that when all you find yourself in your last decade and realize how little any of us contributed to the desire for change you might want to do something about it.

I hear the minstrel resolve in your heart.
Might I offer Woody Guthrie;
Too, inflame the savage breast?

I'm with you 100%+...:D You, myself and thousands of others are savvy to our impending national demise and the dark forces that are responsible; but, we are essentially wasting our time trying to enlist the support of others in our campaign for "true liberty" for all men and women in our times. Public forums give us a way to vent our frustrations; ie., our spleens; regardless, this nation is headed for disaster. : ( Only out of such grave circumstances shall we survive or perish as a nation. Dont' think for moment that I think my writings will make a difference, its simply personal catharsis. You write quite well my friend in thought. Quit feeling so unsure of your abilities to influence others with your fine writing supported by a keen, well-researched intellect. : ) Carl Nemo **== Thanks griff for sharing a bit of who you are; ie. your core persona and thoughts as to how you feel the “worm turns”.

Carl and Griff. Every word you write will influence the rest of us and we will fight back when necessary. These public forums are as necessary as anything we take in during the years. I learned that people will not accept my words as long as I am not a Christian. Wow, I will never get over the shock. It gave me a whole new look at American Values and how out of touch true liberty is displayed. Yesterday at Reader Rant they gave the day in recognition of the "Gettysburg Address." But what part of "Equal" has been redefined as for only White Christian Straight Men? “This land is my land, this land is your land” We sang that Guthrie song every Saturday during rehearsals at the Will Geer Theater.

I harbor no illusions as to the efficacy of our musings, but I do sense a change in the tide. I see thousands turning to millions. Whether or not that will translate into anything substantial remains to be seen, but I can only hope to provoke a little deeper thought. A waste of time to be sure; but as you suggest, at the very least a mental pressure valve. Besides, I can't play my drums after the wife goes to bed. Strangely enough, my biggest influence in writing style - if you can call it that - happens to be Stephen King. I used to be a big fan of King, Koontz and the like, but I find politics to be far more terrifying than anything the master of horror could conjure. Like you, I'm more at ease commenting on other stories, but I do find inspiration for the occasional blog. In fact I have several that I just can't seem to finish properly. It's actually a rare occasion when I can pull one together completely. Perhaps I suffer from a touch of A.D.D. myself. Thanks Carl.

We need to take a page out of Dubya's playbook and adopt a pre-emptive strategy. I only wish that we would fight back before it becomes totally necessary, but I guess that’s the way it is.

We are honing our tools for action with our dialog. From these forums and information sites, I learned that I was wrong in blaming religion for dumbing down the American people. Once the human soul is convinced that a higher being (whether a god or government) is accepted as the final authority, nothing will ever be considered equal, rational or ethical. I threw in the towel when I realized that only when a new authority is offered to the American people, will they move off their apathy. I comes down to designing a new boogyman. I realized I was never going to see freedom in America again. I've been drawn back to CHB and suddenly I realized a new brand of Americans were searching for the freedoms too. My focus is now with a new movement separating the church and state. I will not mention the organization again as it would seem I am pandering for members. Doug is right, keep this out of CHB.
