This country is fascinating in the way that it can sometimes fill you with joyful awe and utter revulsion in the same moment.

Much closer to the happy end of the spectrum, this week Georgia Tech’s campus was visited by “The Christians” as I like to call them. They pop up about once a semester and spend a few days hanging out at our miniature outdoor amphitheater, preaching loudly to whomever will sit and watch while a number of them stand at the periphery with their gigantic “HOMO SEX IS SIN” and other hellfire and damnation signs up on poles. On Thursday afternoon, there was quite a lively back-and-forth going between a large group of liberal, gay-tolerant (or just plain gay-gay) students and the red-faced preacher, with roars of laughter and witty, often sarcastic but sometimes genuine debate. At 4:30, “The Christians” ran out of time on their demonstration permit, and everyone just packed up and left. As contentious as the scene got at times, it was always a pretty well-intentioned and playful counterdemonstration, and there were many people who didn’t see eye-to-eye at all shaking hands with their opponents as everyone wandered off.

I walked away smiling and shaking my head, and ultimately regretted not shouting my own thoughts out to the crowd: God Bless America. As we watch the violent protests against the Pope’s gaffe in other parts of the world, I can’t help but be filled with love for this country and the way we can engage each other in public like that without setting anyone on fire. If “The Christians” come back and banter with the bois in pink shirts, I might have to whip up my own sign to hold on the sidelines: “Where the preachers can preach, And the gays can be gay, God bless the USA.”

You know what else you can do in America? You can absolutely suck the left one of the most heinous demigods of hatred and filth. Last night, the Young Dems of Atlanta blog got linked to by the white supremacist website stormfront.org, and a bunch of neo-Nazi racist inbred scumbag retards are crawling all over our site, giving it net-herpes and making me want to take a shower. One of our bloggers went on a rant about this story, in which it seems even the very Republican residents of a small Georgia town are lamenting the rabid anti-immigrant policies occupying the nation’s thoughts these days.

“These people come over here to make a better way of life, not to blow us up,” complained Keith Slater, who keeps a portrait of Ronald Reagan on the wall. “I’m a die-hard Republican, but I think we missed the boat with this one.”

Naturally, the neo-Nazis find it ridiculous that we “Democraps” give a rat’s ass about those dirty Mexicans that got rounded up like they deserved. Of course, it seems the race-tards are equal opportunity politician haters these days, as a quick scan of the newslinks on their messageboards reveals plenty of Bush-bashing as well (mostly ’cause he listens to them Jewish neo-cons and gets us entangled in foreign conflict). But then, if they have to pick a ticket, well, there’s always David Duke to give you some clue which it’ll be.

We worry about the external threat from “Islamo-fascists” or whatever goofy word we make up for them, and we debate the pros and cons of racial profiling to focus more security assets on the browner airline passengers. Who’s worrying about the white threat?

Loose lips sink ships.
There have been several threads as of late, listing collections or large portions of collections, of firearms. Some may be flamboyant, while others may be deliberately posted to sucker you into listing yours. As I stated on one of those threads, posting a list of firearms on a site like this, is like faxing a list to the FBI.
Loose lips can still sink ships — namely the one you are standing on. It may be tempting to want to show off your collection, but that is doing nothing but adding information to your own dossier, and giving them a specific list to check off when they come knocking on (breaking down) your door. Don’t make their job any easier by offering up info on your Second Amendment rights. THINK BEFORE YOU POST, PEOPLE! Don’t start a thread on “What I own,” or add your firearms to an existing one. Where else can a Fed find info on WNs and the guns they own, so readily?

God bless America, where you are free to plot and arm yourself for revolution.

In this election season, there is a lot of talk from pundits, Republicans, and even within the Party itself about the strategic weaknesses of Democrats. Sometimes, when I face darkness like this, I really wonder if it’s that we don’t own enough guns. Heebie jeebie to the max, Batman.
