i never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the box, but even i can see that there might be some small kernel of truth hidden in even the most audacious rhetoric. the sin and the ignorance resides in taking such rhetoric at face value and ignoring any truth in opposing viewpoints. i can see that some may prefer comfortable slavery over the hard responsibilities of freedom. i don't wish to deny those people their dream, but i was born a citizen of this experiment in civilization and its aim is the freedom of the individual. the perversion of that aim has been ongoing for as long as i can remember and it is my chosen duty to point out the lies of those who seek to subvert our little experiment for their own purposes. it probably does no good, but it is better than burying my disgust and allowing it to fester. i will die soon enough without hastening my departure by swallowing and internalizing my rage.

yes, you are the enemy. i can't help but see the liberal establishment and its deluded followers as children impatient with the game. instead of allowing the experiment to come to some conclusion, they see only the immediate gains that can be made by playing to the basest instincts of humanity.
