“When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.”
-- Dr. Martin Luther King
"Bomb the Blogosphere!" will be my weekly foray into what everyone else is going to be talking about. Like a doltish programmed salmon, I'll slap my fins against the oncoming water of tediousness, smash my head against the rhetorical rocks, and jump up into your bear-like brain, that has it's razored jowls open, waiting to sate it's hunger for knowledge. Along with all the other self-fulfilling and nameless blogs. It's spawning season for debate and thought! LET'S GO!
So with Obama's "Clenching" of the nomination, it's good to see the party united. I just hope it's not TOO united.
Hilary Clinton's coming admission of defeat has many democrats cheering, "FINALLY! IT'S OVER!" and many Obama fans are left chanting his name. Copy and pasting the same beautiful, juicy rhetorical statements that Obama has been making over the past months to; Family, friends, co-workers, fellow interweb surfers, and classmates. We get it, he's amazing, and will save us all from the floundering US of A.
I would hope that we all just don't fall into a trap of approving somebody just because it seems like a good idea. The American public has been led astray by too many propaganda-like campaigns in the past century. One particular campaign that I, and three quarters of America, fell for was the false Iraq correlation to Al-Queada and the missing Weapons of Mass Destruction. 71% of Americans approved of Bush during the onset of the Iraq war, now a paltry 25% of us thinks hes doing a good job.
I would just ask that we all keep an open mind in the coming race to ideas that might be different than our own. Politics has been reduced to a flashy slide show of zany caricatures, because the citizens in this country don't have the patience to deal with anything that requires thought or debate. We should work to change the ideas on politics from, "I'm voting for X because they are AWESOME! EFF YEAH! A VOTE FOR X IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA!" to "Which candidate votes, thinks and will best represent my ideas in Washington?"

Steve, you have some of the best ideas. I think you have a lot of good points and I'd be interested in hearing more about the Independent party.
Can you write about your views on gun laws and Why/Why not you agree/disagree? Just curious.
You're right on! But the flashiness is so pretty!
