(This is what happens when I've been blogging too much and then am faced with a lot of time at work in front of the computer with nothing to do.)

You know you stimulate you argue
Until I really don't have and answer
Or cogent response because you come
With the force of your passion and
The weight of your convictions prepared
For every battle ever fought over lines
Over ideology, over right and truth
But on I go without end because I know
You feel the same.

Battle lines drawn the war rages between
Two camps with labels affixed like pins
Waving flags on your chests, armor worn
Destined to meet, to fight, to never give
Even an inch to your loony adversary who
Cuts and pastes a wall and a castle around
A solitary point on the field of battle
Wholly opposed on every front and dedicated
To total victory.

Blessed you would say, given to grace and
To defend the values on which your heart lies
You walk with God through the world to make
Both it and yourself better and then go
To passionately stand up with words to match
Your deeds and share of yourself so that the many
May be led down a path where all are saved, not
By the God of your fathers but by the principles
Espoused by you.

Into this maelstrom of noise a vulgar hand grenade
Erupting with a Report across America that is
Right in Heart, with a Mission to bring
the level of Discourse to a new level.
You know of whom I speak.
