It's been hours since I've heard from Mrs. Wakely! I know you're all very concerned, and I would love to hear from her again. She's the ray of sunshine into my otherwise black, Republican soul. I mean, after I'm done feasting on babies and worshipping Satan, I like to sit down and see in my inbox a nice note from Mrs. Wakely.
Where are you Mrs. Wakely? I'd love to hear from you, and it can be about any subject at all. It doesn't have to be Iraq. Don't go Mrs. Wakely!
Your friend.
Travis and everyone at Right Wing Lunatic.

It's like chess between logic and illogic. We have each other in checkmate, but we disagree on who is who.
I've been remiss in the sarcasm and name calling. Unfortunate and wrong. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.
While it's astonishing to see your reaction to the use of an Iraqi woman with down syndrome to kill dozens of people in a suicide bombing in Baghdad, as a sign that "Al Queda Gets Desperate," rather than first acknowledging the terrible tragedy and loss of life, it is your right to say what you want, as callous and unfeeling as it may be.
I suspect the military and intelligence visits to your site are more along the lines of keeping touch with your intent and to see if you cross the line, rather than any agreement with your point of view. I'm sure the government keeps track of all the people who run sites with names like "right wing lunatic." I have a feeling when I come back, if I ever do, to see how you're coping with President Obama, I might find "Domain no longer exits," and you will have passed into oblivion, along with all the hate and anger and endless bile that is right wing conservatism today.
I suspect, as I've said, that there's an enormous amount of rage in this country for the current administration, and a hunger for accountability and punishment. It's still possible that more people than Scooty Libby will be tried and found guilty for the crimes they've committed. We'll see.
I honestly believe the Iraq war was launched based on lies, and I think that's unconscionable. There is literally nothing worse a President could do. He should be held accountable under the law, as should all his apologists and enablers who have participated in those crimes. We'll see. I don't feel this country can truly move forward after 8 years of lies, deceit, incompetence and the consistent breaking of the public trust, until and unless those responsible face justice. Again, we'll see.
If Obama or Hillary wins next November, I think the pendulum will swing hard back to the left, with an exit from Iraq, a refocusing of our presence in Afghanistan, and a complete re-thinking of this country's approach to the so called "war on terror." I'm sure that phrase will be the first thing to go, as will all the other policies of Bush: environment, taxes, a woman's right to choose, gun safety, education, national security, immigration, diplomacy, health care - the list goes on and on. I think it will be a long time: 8, maybe 16 years in the wilderness for right wing conservatives. Maybe more? It might be gone for good. Why? Well, I think the whole ideology has finally been given a full chance to strut it's freakish hour in the sun, and has been exposed as utterly bankrupt and broken. I think the ascendancy of McCain, who it looks like will win the nomination, shows, once and for all, that the myth of Republican conservatism is about to enter the grave. So called "free markets," less and less regulated, so the rich and big corporations can profit at the expense of the common good, a heartlessness that says it's more important to let big Pharma and big Health Care reap billions than to recognize we owe it to our common humanity to guarantee health care for all, even if we all have to pay a bit more to do it. A government that recognizes that, when Exxon Mobil has a 4 billion dollar profit, yet 47 million people live without health care, and veterans sleep in the streets, that that government and the people who support it are immoral and un-American. There's a deep cancer at the heart of the Republican Party - "the party of Lincoln," but, of course, Lincoln was a man of principal and courage who waged a terrible war to unite the nation and abolish slavery. Lincoln would shudder at the thought that these men even invoke his name.
And, in the end, the truth that Jesus would be a liberal, not a conservative, passionate about helping the poor and the sick, passionate about preserving the planet, passionate about extending the hand of love and understanding to ALL people: straight, gay, sick, poor.
He would cast the money changers from the temple, and remind us that we are here to extend the hand of love and friendship to our fellow man.
I think a big change is coming. I really do.
Good Luck Travis
