find it highly amusing and not a small bit refreshing that you feel comfortable
enough in your creative writing style to forge ahead without feeling even the
slightest need to anchor yourself to anything resembling a fact. The errors in
your brief communication are many, and I'm just sure that you'll forgive me if
(what with life being short and all) I don't bother to enumerate them. Lets
face it, as one of The Chosen Ones most fervent followers it's clear that you
have gotten beyond the need for accuracy and reason where it comes to
your cute little school girl affaire d'coeur with your freshly

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>So,
Crabtree only wants a less restrictive place to live if it suits his notion of
a “less restrictive place to live” – he’s against
reproductive rights, even for rape victims. Let’s keep them thar
women broodmares! Remember, he’s a staunch supporter of
misogynistic “conscience laws” that enable pharmacists to refuse to
dispense contraceptives, emergency or otherwise, which would certainly make
America a much more restrictive place for women to live. The broken
health care system folks like Crabtree want to cling to has made America a much
more restrictive place to live for many regular hardworking Americans –
he’s seemingly proud of the fact that we are the only industrialized
nation where people lose their homes due to unconscionable health care
costs. The Second Amendment our founding fathers gave us isn’t good
enough for Crabtree and his ilk – they want a Second Amendment on
Steroids. He’s content that the War on Terror has lead to the
terrorization of US citizens through the erosion of our guaranteed civil
liberties and put us on a path to a police state – that sure seems like a
much more restrictive place to live to me, and that’s without even
getting into the shame of torture and denial of due process to suspects.
He’s pleased with a tax system that unfairly burdens the least among us
while providing nothing but loopholes ripe for exploitation by the greedy
amongst us, especially those who benefit from the special interest lobbying
they fund. Education – his solution is I don’t
know what, but it would likely look similar – and have results similar to
– the deregulation that’s caused the financial crisis that came
crashing down around Bush’s ears. God only knows what nonsense
fills his head about global warming – it would appear his understanding
of science is limited to the right-wing whack jobs who flunked science.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fortunately,
the election was a resounding rejection of those like Crabtree who want keep
doing things that don’t work. And, I’m sure we have his sore
loser whining to look forward to for the next four years. After all, this
was a legitimate win for Obama, which must make the win that much more
difficult to swallow </span><span style='font-family:Wingdings;
