The following conversation took place between a Facebook Friend and myself. Needless to say she changed our friend status.

ok no problem, actually people that go to tea parties are not my cup of tea. so I will delete you now.
Russell Jordan April 15 at 9:24pm
I'm sorry that Tea Party People aren't your cup of tea. Most are very honest, hard-working, decent people who care very deeply about the direction the country is headed. But that is what is wonderful about America, everyone can think the way they want- at least for now.

There are a lot of balanced people that care about this country. A lot of us believe in hard work, personal responsiblity and also care for the world and its people. You are a bunch of extremists. Because of people like you there are terrorist in the world. It is the psychy, the same way of thinking.
Russell Jordan April 15 at 9:36pm
Why do you say we are extremists?
Russell Jordan April 15 at 10:04pm
Because of people like me there are orphans in Haiti that now have food to eat and a home to live in. Because of people like me there are millions of Europeans that aren't speaking German under Nazi rule. Because of people like me there are millions of Americans that can worship God without fear of Government persecution. Because of people like me there are millions of people who have the right to publicly disagree with their government. Because of people like me there are others who have jobs. You are right people like me are extreme in some ways. We are extreme in our belief in the Constitution of the United States of America. We are extreme in our belief that the government should only do those things which the private sector can't, shouldn't or doesn't want to. We are extreme in our beliefs that Freedom, Capitalism, and the blessings of God are the factors that have made this country the most blessed country in the history of civilization. We are extreme in our beliefs that it is our personal responsibility to take care of our families and our neighbors, not the Government's responsibility to coerce us into their skewed idea of responsibility. And because of people like me, there are a lot less terrorists than would otherwise exists. People like me didn't create terrorism. People that intentionally target innocent men, women and children for execution because they have some altered view of religion and reality are the cause of terrorism. They have been around for centuries- But thanks to people like me, and unlike the majority of liberals in this country, there are people that recognize the evil that exists and are willing to eradicate it, not placate it! Thanks to people like me, you and I can have this conversation.

I didn't read your email. I read the 2 first lines and I thought "great you". Stop emailing me. I didnt invite you into my life. I am sure you are egocentric and ethnocentric. Obviously you wasted your time writing to push your way of thinking on me, but I do not care to read it. Please stop writing.

Liberty is to me....
Liberty is...
The guarantee of equal opportunity not necessarily equal outcome. The pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of enlightenment, the pursuit of spirituality, the pursuit of profit constrained only by one's will and one's abilities. Personal discrimination, personal discipline, self-control. Accessibility without convenience. Tolerance without endorsement. Order without oppression. Hope dashed with hazard. The narrow road with many perils. The rule of law, not necessarily the majority. Man's order absent government's coercion. The possibility of renown, the probability of obscurity. Always tiresome, never tired. Opportunity restrained with accountability, success tempered with responsibility.
God Breathed,
