THE TOWNHALL RETURNS!

Ladies and Gentleman.....
I, zombiemaster is pleased to announce the return of the Democratic Townhall to paltalk. As you guys may know that I was a member of this room back in 2004 when Kerry ran for president. Well, I decided to reopen the room for 2008.

Unlike all the other roooms in Social Issues, this is a G rated room where Democrats can meet to discuss key issues of the upcoming Elections without worrying about nutcases and drama coming in to ruin the room.

So, be on the lookout for this powerful room to open up in the next few days. If you need more info, you can leave me a Pm on PT.

WHO WILL ANSWER?

This may be the most painful blog I have ever posted, so don't be so quick to make smart ass comments about it's subject matter or it's writer.

First of all, my heart goes out to all those who were affected by the slaughter at Va Tech. When the news first came through, I was stunned, then anger set in. The anger was due to the fact that once again a sole act of a person who was over the edge had to snap out at the world in order to leave a mark on it. But to me, it was the wrong type of mark. We have just seen a small piece of our future ripped away and all we got to show for it are questions, more questions and nobody with the guts enough to search for answers. We also got some very pretty but once again empty words for our leader in office.

Also, in my home town we had one of our own police officers get shot while on a routine traffic stop and once again more questions with no answers. What these two events have in common. To me, it's not that hard to see what the answer is.

The common thread is the weapon used: guns. It is no secret that I am anti-gun, anti-NRA and for the a hard form of gun control that could be passed be passed. In this age where human life is undervalued this is the only way for tragic events like these not to happen again. While we are at it, we must strip the NRA of it's powers and influence in Washington. I believe that in this day and age, the right for private citizens to own firearms is gone. Now, don't go screaming 2nd amendment to me, the 2nd amendment deals with the right for us to defend our country like the minutemen did in the days of old. It does not cover hunting or sports like that.
95% of all illegal guns are passed by way of stealing them from the homes of private citizens.

2nd is education. We must teach our youth that violence doesn't solve anything. The best form of problem solving is thur discussion and mediation.

In closing, I hope that this blog opens people's eyes to the real problem of this country.

Thank you.

DISAPPEARING ACT

Well, it seems that all of our critics have been shut down. No nasty comments on any posts, no stupid inbreds to talk their horse shit. I love it. WE HAVE WON THE BATTLE!

CAGE RATTLING

Enough with the niceties, time to show a neo-nut for what they are; petty, selfish, narrow-minded, scared, ridiculous anserine dogmatic abominations, just your regular sheeple ;o)

The Rattler is back in action!!!! Yes, you heard me right, time for some cage rattling. And boy do I have a great one, one that reminded me why The Rattler is needed. To shine light upon the blind followers, to uncover and expose spin, and mainly just to confuse & piss a neo-nut off (admittedly it's an easy task).

Before we get started, I would like to thank CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER for making this such an easier task.

One thing most people will agree upon is we all support the troops, no matter which side of the political fence they sit upon, that is unless you are a neo-nut. To a neo-nut, wanting the troops home; safe and alive, is spitting on the troops. A simple requested that vets receive the utmost care sends a neo-nut into a frenzy of how much you must hate the troops. Wanting an explanation of why our young troops are dying will get a neo-nut foaming at the bit with screams of anti-America. Don't dare bring up bill (*whatever number is*) which gives Bush all the money he has requested for Iraq along with a withdrawal date from Iraq, neo-nuts would have to be taken out in an ambulance, one preferably equipped with straitjackets.

I was lucky ~cough cough~ enough to be presented when CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER decided to share his support & empathy towards the troops & their loved ones. This is your typical neo-nut heart-felt support for the troops.

CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER: WELL IF THEIR PARENTS HAD SAVED MONEY AND PAID FOR THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION AS I DID, THEY WOULDNT BE IN IRAQ GETTING KILLED

I looked around, stunned, No way had CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER had just blamed parents for their children bravely volunteering to join the military to protect all Americans! Surely, he had to know the bravery and courage it took to join the U.S. military. Certainly he knew that people joined the military for various reasons, sometimes carrying out an family tradition. I had no choice but call CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER out on his statement to no avail, but what I really noticed was not only were the neo-nuts not calling (whatever his name) on it, most republicans & conservatives did nothing at CAPTAIN BALLBUSTER revolting words of support to the troops. How hard is it to understand supporting the troops is not the same as supporting an illegal 'war'. True support of troops is not allowing buildings that house our injured troops have roaches & bats, mold & holes. Supporting the troops is not under suppling our troops with food, training, gear and aftercare. Supporting the troops is not wanting a never-ending, unwinnable, unnecessary war, with no clear reason or rhyme. Supporting the troops is wanting them safe, feed, trained, and respected, not using them as they were just pawns in a badly executed game of Presidential Chess.

How can you say you support the troops and then turn around and degrade them in the very same breath? How can you claim you care for the troops and not demand the troops get the proper training? Face it, some just confuse support for the war as support for the troops, never knowing or caring the two in this case just do not go together.

Now in the famous words of the neo-nuts' personal savior, Bush; "Bring It On!"
