I speak of dreams…  Sometimes the dream is a nightmare… mostly anarcho stuff

Good for you American Legion for pulling out.

The first, never the second…

I applauded the tough decision of the American Legion and pulling out of the 4th of July “Tea Party Event” at the 400 Block.  

All one has to do is walk through the crowds and listen to Tea Party Events to quickly see that the Tea Party ranges from John McCain supporters to down-right racists fear-mongers. 

It takes a wise organization to see that if they want to attract younger people in this day and age, just simply waving ol’ Glory around while promoting often a lot of hate will not garner new young members to their organization.  Again, look around the Tea Parties.

I applauded the tough decision they must have had in balancing patriotism vs fringe – hate laden politics.
