Up is down, black is white, right is left, but the left sure ain’t right!

I freely admit that I have been extremely naïve. I surround myself with intelligent, educated, liberal, like-minded people, so I was very surprised at the ignorance of the people who voted for bush (a majority thinking that there actually were WMDs in Iraq, etc). But now that I have been exploring some right-wing sites & blogs, nothing surprises me anymore! The racism, sexism, the gay-bashing, the religious fanaticism, the blind patriotism, etc etc, is phenomenal! Here are just a few random quotes (no, I have not made these up!) from 1 day’s worth of posts on freerepublic.com:

"My favorite quote: "...we can now expect more wars and mayhem during the next four years."
Excellent - go with what works. This is just long overdue justice, with a very thoughtful strategy for protecting innocent life around the world."
