re: #199 triple

lol. You try growing up catholic.. while listening to rush on your way to work.. after 9/11 happened just when you were starting to get interested in politics.

It took my brother dragging me to an ows rally to firmly plant me on the liberal side of things, but I can actually trace it back to when I decided god wasn’t real, and then I had a bunch of friends.. who were gay.. and I decided republican politics weren’t helping people like me.

oh good freakin’ grief…
Try growing up Catholic (complete with Catholic school and Mass EVERY freakin morning of the week) in the 50s and 60s, listen to all of the incessant over the top fearmongering about the horrors of and end of America as we know because of a possible Catholic US President and then watch that President assassinated, and THEN go through the Vietnam War while in high school and college and watch your friends get tossed into that meat grinder of a police action, followed by Nixon’s greatest hits.

Really…your professed political innocence is quite delightful.
