Speaking of links, I noticed the ‘target=_blank’ attribute doesn’t work on this new comment system. Any way to get that working?

They’re on the verge shouting get the ropes, tar, feathers and many sharp edged rails to [ take of ] seemingly necessary business. …extract from post with brackets

Amended to read: [ take care of ]

My apologies for the error. The import of the sentence warranted correction.

What stuns me about these Congressional hypocrites is that they’ve been conducting themselves in seemingly a “deaf” fashion relative to the will of the American people. This is not unique to the Democrats, but Republicans too.

Both parties have a less than 50% rating with the electorate and they seemingly conduct their business to please the interests of corporations in these times. Their actions are not subtle either, but an in our face message that we simply don’t count regardless of the issues from the ongoing engineered conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan to health care legislation.

Now people are getting restless and angry. They’re tired of conducting business in a polite, “Roberts Rules of Order” fashion when interfacing with their elected crimpols in high places. They’re on the verge shouting get the ropes, tar, feathers and many sharp edged rails to take of seemingly necessary business.

It’s these unresponsive, arrogant pols that have sown the wind and now must reap the mighty whirlwind for their duplicity.

Woody:

If you’re going to put a link in a comment, please do it properly. Having an entire paragraph underlined as a link is distracting to the reader and can screw up the comments that follow yours. I fixed it this time but in the future I will simply delete comments that creates problems with bank html.

Thousands of miles away we ask our blood and life source to guard greed.
What ?
Walls, Tattered Halls, with agenda flying as a freedom bird, our young men and women are being used by fools that someday will try to reenact the Bible to it’s conclusion…….. ?

Pop said , breath when yer so mad you can’t think, then we did our chores as we walked in the danger zone of the free man.

It is not much, liberty, but “everything” in it’s pursuit !
The one danger is, there is no danger applied to open and honest law. Here is the haunting prospect of war for profit, religion, or selfish human pride, not only innocents suffer, but , “innocence” dies again, and again etc…..

What does an 18 yr old soldier carry on his back ?
Me and You.

May we write a novel ?
A true story of American home style abiding by the warm fires fueled with inarguable resolve ?

From neithercorp.us:

While being categorized as a homegrown terrorist may be a frightening prospect, what other people are led to believe about us is not so important. What is important is that we do not start to believe it ourselves. That we are not made to feel guilty for wanting to determine our own destinies, for wanting to keep government out of our lives and our children’s lives. We are not the instigators of this conflict, we are not the antagonists of this story. In the end, we are the deciders of this conflict. We are the authors of this story.
