Liberals talk quite a lot.

Liberals talk quite a lot.

I know with those five words I will awake the beast in almost everyone here. But if you take offense at my catagorization, check your post count. If your post count is in the many thousands, you may be guilty of such. I stress may, as under a thousand and you may as well. One thing, the coherent conservatives on this site (and sadly there are not too many of them), tend to have less posts in their count than their make-love-not-war brethren.

I won't speculate on the merits or the justification of the increased liberal blather, but it is humorous to note. The "silent majority" concept can be tremendously valid, even in today's highly communicating world. I would venture that there are more "liberals" or left-leaning individuals on the internet. Many polls favor left-leaning positions and candidates. And of course, the media is liberal, but the sky is up too.

Still with all this liberal electricity, somehow the presidency is Republican, they control the House and Senate, and the GOP outnumbers the D's in gubernatorial seats. Could this mean there is a SILENT majority?

Someone once said "silence is golden", but then we all know he must have been retarded. So opinions are exchanged (a good thing), many more exchanged (not too good depending on the congruent actions), and even more exchanged (getting redundant).

Now, I have an idea and before I am hunted down and lynched by the mob perhaps it could be considered. Substitute incessant talk for actions. You want to help the troops - do something besides talk. Go buy a phone card in that new plan that tries to provide calling time for deployed troops to speak to loved ones back home. Send a soldier a well-wishing card. Who knows, consider encouraging someone to join the service for a short stint. You want to help our country - consider putting America first before Europe, Asia and Timbuktu. Buy American products, consider an American vacation. Who knows, support an American foreign effort for a change.

I doubt I should be here expending the time, as I am only stirring your rancor and I lack the "intellectual" enlightenment or estimation to measure into your contemplation. Too bad, my bad, so sad. Here I go, you may ship all rotten tomatoes to the address below.

An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows.
