an political comic strip, boondocks, was pulled because it might be viewed as anti american..

"I find that a little scary, that just because someone can take another point of view that they're seen as unpatriotric or sympathetic to the terrorists," said Rick Stromoski, cartoonist of Soup To Nutz and spokesman for the National Cartoonists Society. "And that's not true at all. What Aaron's done is to try to get people to step back and ask why things have happened. Things don't happen in a vacuum, and Aaron's trying to get people to discuss why things are happening."

censorship makes my tummy churn

[iron_and_silver]

me too..
is it just me or do you feel as if we are no longer living in 2001 and all of the censorship, equality, peace, love lessons we have learned in 50 years seemed to have been erased from the average american mind? and only a few of us were left with that knowledge and now we feel like outsiders. and to say we dont support the president makes you feel like you have to do it quietly. for doing it publicly uou could get lynched or arrested..

lol sorry. long rant. it just feels so strange all of a sudden to be a liberal..

there's a beautiful little amendment that i wish some people would read closely.

it's okay, i'm pretty much a bleeding heart liberal.
i hate the fact that you can't critcize the government, and everyone says now is not the time, blah blah - i think now is the best time, so that doesn't really stick with me.

yeah im a bleeding heart too:-) which is hard in the state that george w. bush was elected twice in..

yeah i know. now is exactly the time! this is a man i didn't want running my country in this worst case scenario! He only treats violence with violence. where is that going to get us? Everyone will be sick and dying and who knows what. just such a weird time. like i've been time warped back to the 50's or something.
