   You actually have a show? And do you know why you can continue to bash the 2nd Amendment? It’s because people with guns stand up for your rights as a citizen. You’re just another liberal pu$$y who hates this country. I loathe people like you. I have protected your right to rant and rave about things like this, and I wish you would run up against one of us right wingers on the street. But you won’t….you’re just a scared little boy who will stand behind someone else who’s going to keep your pansy a$$ from getting whipped. And that someone else will probably have a gun. Just keep whining with your progressive tard friends about what’s wrong with the world….but when you’re in you’re nice comfy coozy abode and a thug tries to break in and a$$ rape you….don’t forget to thank the person who shows up with a gun and puts that person out of your misery. You progs are so easy to fuk with…you just don’t get it….until things come crashing down on you. Even then…you’ll just probably blame Bush…..fuking pu$$y.

   Bali, wow. running out of food in your bunker, you’re not thinking straight anymore.

   You and your fellow 2nd amendment nuts didn’t keep the NDAA from passing, didn’t keep the government and telecomm giants from tapping our phones, didn’t keep us out of two illegal wars, didn’t keep Obama from an executive power power grab in regards to Drone killings,done nothing about surveillance cameras everywhere .so why don’t you STF up about this guns=freedom myth.

   Occupy Wall Street has done more to ensure my freedom than you ever could!

   I want to thank you for doing the segment on Religious child abuse. I was such a victim, myself. I grew up in a Southern Baptist environment, my father is a minister and educated in theology at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Fort Worth, TX. My mother’s father was a Methodist and a deacon at his church. I suffered abuse, emotional, mental and sexual, at the hands of both of these men, who were religious leaders and taught other people in their churches. When I was 15 and I finally spoke out about the abuse I had been enduring for my entire life I was called a liar and sent to a long term psychiatric facility, also run by a religious organization. There I was told that if I did not stop lying about what had happened to me that I would never leave that place. I was highly drugged there and had to take nine different medications, three times a day, till I was complacent enough for my father’s liking. I have blank spaces in my memory from that time, not lost time but empty space and no memories to fill it with. I spent nearly 3 months there, until I finally relented to their pressure and told them what they wished to hear, just so that I could leave. In 2001, my grandfather died and my grandmother read his journals. What she found there not only confirmed what I had said he did to me, but that he had done the same with countless other young girls, including my mother. Even still, I am called a liar by most of my family, who are all very religious. I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Depression and Schizoaffective Disorder. I have not been able to hold a job for over 10 years and now must subside on government aid and disability, which amounts to less than $620 a month. I go to therapy 3 times a week, but I still experience night terrors and flash backs regularly. I can barely even leave my house to run errands and I have to take a Valium before I leave to be calm enough to drive. Many other traumatic things have happened to me as well, but they might not have if I had not suffered the abuse I did as a child. I shared this because I want people to know that child abuse is one of the most damaging things anyone can go through. It alters the rest of your life, influencing decisions and personal relationships forever. It is not something that can be gotten over, only dealt with. It scars a person for their entire lives and never heals completely. It turns people, who have wonderful potential, into burdens on their family and society because they often cannot function well enough to entirely care for themselves. My innocence, my future and my life have been stolen from me by those I should have been able to trust, my family and religious leaders. I have spent the last decade trying to deal with all that has happened to me, yet I have barely scratched the surface. I can talk about it now, but I still cannot function as a productive member of society, even though I desperately wish to. I would hope that you share my story, because I want to help people see what child abuse does and that the religious participate in such abuse as often as others. However, I think it worse when the so-called faithful do so, since they preach always about love, tolerance and forgiveness. Such hypocrisy should no go unheeded by society. Again, thank you for standing up and giving the truth.
