Bush Bashing

Many of you may not know it because I don’t speak of her often, but I do love my stepmother, Gina very much. She is one of those subjects I don’t speak of too often because it is too painful.

She was unable to come to our wedding because she was deported to Afghanistan about 6 months before hand and guaranteed to have to serve at least two years.

Fools are the ones that take power, because fools deal in absolutes. Wise men think, and change thier minds, and accept when they are wrong. Absolutes look alot better as headlines. Compromise involves thinking, deliberating, and seldom boils down to enough words to fit on a billboard. And so it is the fools, with powerful convictions, and weak minds, who gain power. They do not belive they are evil men, and in a sence they are not. They are trying as hard as they can to do what they think is right. But that isn't the same think as doing the right thing, I wish to hell it were. Because these men are fools with power. They like to say that the world is filled with these shadowy bearded supervillians who "hate freedom". There is truth to that, because they think freedom leads to corruption. But these men who are fools, they think that the world spins around them. They think that these villians want to destroy our country. But they don't care about our country, they care about thiers. They want the support of the people, power in thier

Very well put. You are much better with words than I will ever be. It's nice to see someone properly express what I feel.
Thank you, whoever you are. I urge you not to remain anonymous for fear of criticism. I very well could have made this entry friends only so as to be in the comfort of my left wing friends, but I am at a point where I don't care who attacks my beliefs. When you know, you know.

I'm just as angry as you are. What Bush does is called sophism--it was a technique started in Ancient Greece where people talk and talk and talk to make their point, whether it's right or wrong, until the audience believes it. In this case, Bush is usually wrong. I like how he wanted to go into Afghanistan but somehow all the troops ended up in Iraq. Not like it's that much better off, anyway. The problem is that the majority--it's getting smaller as his approval rating goes down the drain--of Americans do agree with what he's doing, or at least what he tells them he's doing. My problem with this is that soldiers die every day, and for every soldier who dies, there must be at least 50 innocent Iraqi citizens who die. More soldiers have died to date than died over Clinton's entire 8 years. I don't think Clinton lost a soldier in combat. I think Bush is trying to finish what Bush Sr. started during his terms, complete the family legacy or something. You simply request a Declaration of War from Congress. It isn't very hard,

I totally agree about the flag thing, and I feel the same way about that and about my patriotism. I know more about my country and about this stupid war than most of those flag covered conservatives who have a Bush sticker on their SUV not really knowing why they voted for him in the first place.

next time ill sign in, i promise. . .

interesting flag facts

1. people have recently spent alot of government time and money trying to ban flag burning

2. at most, there have been 4 instances of flag burning demonstrations INSIDE the us in the last year.

3. the officail and dignified way to dispose of used and worn flags is to have a small ceremony AND BURN THEM.

so banninng burning flags will succeed in making criminals of thosands of boy scouts who carry out this minor patriotic duty. . .
