Bev, Don't leave. I stand in awe of your ability to state clearly where you 
stand. Thank you. I wish I could do as well...

 Bev, do you really think that personal insults help the search for 
 truth?
Ask yourself the same question Gene.  When is enough, enough on
olitics? I wasn't searching for any kind of truth, I was stating my
pinion.  I take it as a personal insult every time you write 'The
evolution is BO...blah blah blah'.. You are entitled to believe anyway
ou want, just as I am. I resent, however, your comments that reflect
our views that socialism is a good thing.  I am sick to death of Bush
nd Republican bashing. It is beating a dead horse. I am tired of
eeling like I have to defend my country at every turn.  I will gladly
o that, but I shouldn't have to, especially to another American. You
eem to constantly degrade and find fault with America, and that is
nsulting to me. I love my country for better or for worse, but Obama is
ot what the founding father's envisioned for America.
Laugh if you want, but for me, these discussions are as serious as life
nd death.  This is not philosophical entertainment for me.  This
lection scares me...it is sinking in that everything I have worked for
or the last 10 years is for nothing....My children will never inherit
his place.  My granddaughter will not know freedom of speech.  Had I
nown that Barack Obama would bring Socialism to America, and worse,
hat a majority would happily accept such, I would have never had
hildren.  I feel that strongly about it.  It occurs to me that even if
cCain wins the election this time, that Obama will be back in 2012 and
e will do this all over again.  If he doesn't win this time, he will
in next time, because people want a handout in this country.  They have
hort memories, and don't look beyond next year.  They don't look at
nything long term, how freedoms erode, or sustainable economics.   I
as in tears and had chest pains yesterday afternoon because I was upset
nd frustrated over conversations on this list.  It is the second such
ime in a week.  It seems that we can no longer even have a conversation
bout something as wonderful as Old Books without the election/socialism
earing its head.  I am increasingly feeling less a part of Homestead.
 The rift is taking its toll on me.  Perhaps I should move on, or better
et, hunker down and disappear, because people like me will soon be even
ore of a target, recall this part of the subject article:
*Free speech will be curtailed through the reimposition of the Fairness
octrine to limit the conservative talk radio that so irritates the
iberal establishment.
It just seems to me like any voice of opposition is getting squashed or
elittled.  I know I am not alone..look at how Joe the Plumber was
reated, Palin's email was broken into, Strategic Vision Polling's death
hreats, the snubbing of the Florida news station, and you calling me
ut here because I voiced my opinion on how I see the slant of your
osts....that you are more concerned about the sovereignty of other
ountries(I can't count how many times you have mentioned this, once
gain even since I started writing this response), but there have been
o comments from you as to how personal rights and freedoms will be
ffected by an Obama Presidency where Democrats control the Congress and
he Judicial branch is left leaning as well.  There will be no checks
nd balances...all three branches of government will be liberally left
f center, pushing to the radical left by the leadership of the Party,
nd there will be no brakes, no checks.  There is no mention of this,
nly Bush bashing and the embracement of socialist policy.  That is what
 see from your posts.
Bev
