[ale] Time to stir the pot

[Brian Mathis]

Sadly I don't see much to argue with there.  Unfortunately any
possibility of real political debate has been hijacked by extremists
who call everyone they don't like a terrorist or socialist.  As long
as that continues, those who claim to be "protecting" the country are
actually the ones destroying it.
