IMPEACH BUSH

IMPEACH CHENEY

CENTRAL VALLEY LOONS

I don't know how sociologists or political scientists would explain it, but the Central Valley of California is infested by right wingers. You can get a sampling of that by reading The Fresno Bee. There are some regular right wing correspondents that I've mentioned before. Occasionally, you see letters from other right wingers emerging from their crypts.

We recently had a letter saying that Bush is better than Bill Clinton because the Branch Davidian incident occurred during the Clinton administration. David Koresh, a religious fanatic, set up an armed camp in Waco, Texas, and fired on ATF agents. Koresh and company preferred to burn down their compound rather than surrender peacefully. This guy compared that to the polygamist sect in San Angelo, Texas, that was essentially seized by Texas authorities. Never mind that state authorities were involved in one case, and federal agents in another case. Never mind that Koresh was armed, and that the sect in San Angelo didn't offer armed resistance. Never mind that thousands of body bags have come back from Iraq thanks to George W. Bush.

Then we had another letter from a guy claiming that action against global warming is a socialist plot. He called Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth "error-filled," although he didn't cite one error. Never mind that evidence of global warming is everywhere. Trying to save the planet has nothing to do with socialism.
