I could go on & on but people like you will not question the gov't even as they are waiting in line for their cup of kool-aid. I believe that you ,my friend, have conered the market on ignorance, and as for paranoia, when was the last time you were attacked by "terrorists"?
No offense, Wicker B, but this is the same far-left thinking that I've heard a thousand times before, and I'm sure the buck isn't going to stop with you. And I'm the kool-aid drinker? Give me a break...

Your dull rhetoric is still as misinformed as your dull rhetoric has constantly been, but I can't say I don't give you credit for consistency. Constantly thinking the world is conspiring against you, constantly labeling anyone with a sense of patriotism as an "unquestioning kool-aid drinker", constantly running your mouth about the past with little concern for the future.

My tax dollars have funded a lot of programs that have benefited you, but you only choose to see the negatives from our countries past and refuse to focus on the good things that our government has done for us. So, in essence, you were calling me naive for trusting that our government isn't conspiring against me...right? That doesn't make me look naive, but instead makes you look imbecilic and downright paranoid.

But, again, it's your right as an American citizen to make as much of a fool of yourself as you so desire. You've been afforded that right by countless patriots like those who are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. You should show some respect, regardless of how you feel about the war itself. But I don't see you coming to your senses anytime soon...
