Welcome Aboard

Oh yeah, the best newsletter ever, The Raised Fist, is back in an online, bloggy format. I will be posting some hard-to-find articles out there that I think everybody should be aware of. I will also be ranting and raving, which is the thing I do best. The far right extremists are fighting hard to ruin this country, insisting President Obama is born in Kenya, even when there is a birth certificate staring at them dead in the face. They claim Obama will kill your grandmother, that he is a communist, muslim, nazi terrorist. The political discourse has turned vile and ugly and some (myself included) think this can easily lead to violence. The Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs and the Bill O'Shittys and the Michael Savages and the Ann Coulters of the world spew their hate under the cover of freedom of speech, but listen to the underbelly of their message and you will see a deep, dark miasma boiling underneath the service. It's not so far-fetched that some extremist will go to the next level and threaten violence against the president. I mean, where will it end? Next thing you know, people will be showing up at the president's events with firearms and bastardizing the infamous Thomas Jefferson phrase "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants", making it quite an overt threat.

Oh wait....
