All this time (two months now), I've been under the impression that we have very few readers. I mean honestly, our initial goal was to reach at least the greater Augusta area, but it's been an admittedly slow start. However, none other than Metro Spirit columnist and WGAC 580 radio show host Mr. Austin Rhodes himself, Augusta's conservative darling, honored the Augusta Citizen-Investigator by writing a whole column for this week's Metro Spirit about us. Aside from the typical Austin Rhodes ramblings, his column, primarily responding to Jill's piece for the Land of the Blind blog, was not overly incendiary, aside from the point where he expressed his wish that Jill's mother had had an abortion instead of giving birth to her. This came right after quoting my joke about escaping the Sarah Palin rally alive two weeks ago. After missing the joke there, he went on to complain about how Saxby Chambliss is too liberal. Too liberal. Apparently Mr. Rhodes hasn't really looked at Senator Chambliss' record. I find it hard to believe that someone like Mr. Rhodes didn't do his research though.
We 'damn liberals' really are the enemy Mr. Rhodes, aren't we?. We are the enemy. Maybe that is what America needs right now. A war between the liberals and conservatives, a war between ideologies. I guess it would be a... civil... war? Or, and this one might be hard to handle for you Mr. Rhodes, maybe instead of all the divisive rhetoric, and both sides have plenty to offer, we could try to work together to find a common ground. We don't all have to agree all of the time, but we don't have to get all bent out of shape when we disagree. We should be able to work together to find compromises that we all can live with. We are all Americans and this country was founded on a handful of ideals that should at least form the basis for these compromises. The founders of this nation didn't agree on everything either, but they were able to put together what became one of the strongest nations on the planet. Shouldn't we try to keep it that way?
Well now, the extreme right or extreme left both usually end up talking like fools when they expound on any subject.
ReplyDeleteWith that out of the way, you know what "May West" stated in her heydays : "I don't care what you say about me, just keep talking about me."
It's always good to be in the public's eye, if you want to be heard on any subject.
