Bronko, you seriously don't buy this jackass do you?
By declaring those among us "the enemy" simply because they hold alternate viewpoints, Barone is declaring himself the enemy of our society. But hey, I respect his freedom to do so
The reality is that the numbers on the Left who do aspire to such thoughts are such a minority, that if the rightwing pundits didn't give them so much exposure 80% of the population
wouldn't even know they exist.
What I find most short-sighted is how quick some (Skipper, I'm talking about you here) are to lump anyone into this camp, simply because they aren't able or willing to take a bit of time and think about what some thoughts might really mean.
Guess what? The very same Islamo-fascisim that threatens us today has been influenced and even encouraged by our own country in the recent past.
Does this make me an America hater?
If so our country is in a heap of trouble...
As the spectre of terror has now made you
afraid of the same thoughts and ideas that will lead us to a victory in this fight.
This is the real "covert enemy" that will undermine our success.
