I don't know if anything falls under terrorism now unless it is done by a Christian:(; I did send a letter of "spanks" to Congressman Baron Hill and will be doing what I can to see that he is voted out of office next year as well as Sen. Evan Bayh being voted out.

I sent my "spank" letter to Rep Larson from Washington. He needed it badly. I guess he has many weird constituents in his district backing him. He keeps getting reelected. But, I am still on his case of bad judgment and wrong motives.

A dangerous, fraudulent, and bankrupting health care bill passed the House this weekend, by a slim margin of just 3 votes -- 220 to 215. Take action against this vote.(Read More)

Actually, here is the letter I wrote to my reps. DownsizeDC's wasn't stern enough for me.
Perhaps thank you isn't the proper term for how I feel about the 1,990 page=
health care reform that was not written nor read by my representative Sanf=
ord Bishop, nor his colleagues in the less than distinguished house of repr=
esenting big pharma and insurance.=A0 One reason to have absolutely no resp=... Read More
ect whatsoever for our lawmakers in congress no doubt lies in the fact that=
none of the legislation is ever written by or even read by these marvelous=
legislators of humongous crap bills.
Yep, since you do not have to write or read any of these bills, why do we e=
ven waste our money on your salaries? After all, I'm sure that with all tha=
t free time you have from NOT writing or reading legislation, you have mana=
ged to make even more time for yourself to call up your friends in the gian=
t mega-corporations for campaign funds. I am sure there is no conflict of e=
thics involved, for I am quite sure with the knowledge we have of congress =
there were never any ethics involved to begin with.=20
My letter does have a point, beyond the obvious one of how pissed off I am =
at the level of outright corruption we have in this supposedly free country=
. What is that point? Quit giving away your authority to write legislation =
to corporate think tanks and take the authority to write your own legislati=
on which actually does represent the masses of citizens who live under the =
illusion you actually give a shit about them. Do your fucking job. That's n=
ot much to ask now, is it?

When the Supreme Court ruled that the random checking of urine to check for marijuana use wasn't unreasonable search and seizure I lost all respect for them. Sorry, who believes that if an institution doesn't regard your bodily fluids as private, cares about truth and justice. If you want justice, a bordello is still better than a courthouse.

According to the science, in order to lower the global temperature one degree farenheit, ALL machines, cars, power plants, barbeque grills, etc... would have to be turned completely off for 33 years. Everything that emits carbon on the entire planet.

So if we capped carbon emmissions at their current levels and reduced that number simply by 10%, it would take 330 years to reduce the global temperature 1 degree farenheit. Get the facts people, this "Cap & Trade" business is just a scheme to make the Progressive political elite extremely wealthy at your expense. Its not about "spreading the wealth", its about making the political elite so wealthy it will make Warren Buffet look like a pauper.
