HA HA! turned 30 before me!
happy b-day.
In addition, check out the other options the money could be used for.. especially the children’s healthcare, and education improvements.
I know that this war was probably unavoidable - but I firmly believe the comparison with Viet Nam is correct in the vein of “poorly handled”.
I would probably be all for it, if we hadn’t been lied to. daily. by Bush AND Cheney.
Some people have commented in the past on my rants about Bush about how hard the job is, and how good the economy is.
Fuck that, he lied to us - about his job. Clinton lied, too, but NOT about his job. And he suffered (and will continue to suffer) for it.
When Bush and Cheney lie to the American people, we suffer, Iraqis suffer, people around the world suffer.
I don’t see how any intelligent Republican can truly back this poor excuse for a man. For my friends that are republicans, that’s not an insult, it’s an offer to explain to me why, if you support him.
they better not try and do it if Bruce isn’t in on it.

heh.
what scares me is I understand both sides of it.
no one’s heard from in an hour, now - let alone anyone in the Ft. Myers, FL area online.
There’s been reports of tornadoes ripping the roof off of a hospital…
dammit :/
Something that keeps me awake.
I was lying in bed, awake, and thinking.
I truly feel like there’s not much of a choice in this year’s election. I vote for Bush, and I vote for someone I cannot stomach as a leader. Not only does he ignore his constituency, he lies to it. And NOT in some minor fucking not-related-to-his-job sorta way. He outright lies as an excuse to kill thousands.
I’m a Marine. I’m utterly disgusted at how he’ll throw lives away - Marines.. For what boils down to either OIL or “CUZ DADDY WAS THREATENED”… I know, he’s got a stressful job, and a lot of decisions to make. But I know one aspect I’d do better at: telling the truth to the people.
If I vote for Kerry, I’m voting for what appears to be the same guy. Rich, backed by the top 10% of the richest Democrats (some of whom I can’t even tell apart from extreme right Republicans); questionable political activities in his college years (Skull and Bones, Yale); no REAL platform other than “Bush Lies” (sounds a lot like the “Kerry Waffles” campaign Bush-Cheney’s been spewing); general uneasiness with how easily he dodges important issues.
So, I look at the Veeps. Cheney - evil. I rarely label someone (in a non-joking manner) in that field. This man IS evil. I’ve seen nothing but dishonesty, corruption and greed from him. He’s the epitome of the target of the anti-corruption movement in corporate America. Edwards.. quiet, little known.. perhaps the better choice of the two.
Biggest issues:
The fuck-up of a war in Iraq. Sure, Saddam was bad, and needed to go. But at this cost? We’ve lost 50 years of growth in the international community over this shithead’s war. We finally get close to peace (yes, even with 9-fucking-11, we had a better peace than the human race has had since before history) and it gets fucked up by one man’s two men’s revenge/greed/what-the-fuck-ever his their motivation is.
“Gay Marriage”. WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER? If they’re not trying to marry YOU, what BUSINESS do you have in saying they can’t? “It breaks down our morality!” FUCK you. Don’t you DARE pull the Christian card on this one - you know why? A TRUE Christian would let GOD decide if it’s wrong. Let’s put it this way - in the past decade, the Catholic PRIESTHOOD has done more damage to human beings than homosexuals who want to get married out of LOVE.
Truth. The war isn’t the only thing we’re being lied to about.
Freedom. PATRIOT and laws like it do nothing but give extraneous and unnecessary powers to arrest innocent people and harass them for their beliefs, rather than their crimes. HOW THE FUCK CAN A GAMING BOOK BE A THREAT, PEOPLE?
Religion. Congress shall make no law.. etc.. etc.. You know what? I’m ALL for religious freedom, but I’m NOT for religious banning. By removing the 10 commandments (the basis for most of our laws) from a courthouse - what’s been accomplished? Nothing. What was the plaque hurting? Someone’s feelings. Grow up. IF your beliefs are THAT weak that a plaque bothers you, you’ve got issues to work out with yourself. Don’t impose YOUR issues on US. “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. When I was a little kid, we didn’t have to say that phrase. Apparently, that changed where you HAD to, and then it became a “separation of church and state” issue.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND SYMBOLS OF A STATE OFFICE OR DEPARTMENT. Separation of Church and State means only that a STATE RELIGION cannot be made. We’re not allowed to FORCE someone to choose a religion; we’re not allowed to have an OFFICIAL religion. If a state’s flag has a cross on it, so WHAT? Are you offended by that? File a petition, don’t fucking file a lawsuit. Judges have NO RIGHT to vote FOR me. They’re not part of the executive or legislative branch, they only JUDGE on laws, not CREATE them.
Bleah. Our country has gone to shit. We need a new constitution, a new government. A better system.
The current one’s rife with fraud, waste and abuse. Wow. To think there used to be a watchdog for that sorta stuff; and now it’s gone.
Didn’t know it was your birthday.. now I do.

You Know You’re From Texas When… |
|
You see more Texan flags than American flags. You know someone who ate the 72 oz steak and got it for free. You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry, and your Cowboy Boots. You can write a check at Dairy Queen for 2 Hungr-Busters and fries. You prefer Whataburger to McDonalds. You dress up to go shopping at the mall. You’ve hung ornaments and tinsel on a tumbleweed and used it as a Christmas tree. You’re disappointed when a food doesn’t come in spicy flavor. You know from experience that rattlesnake meat tastes like chicken. You can tell a rock from an armadillo at 300 yards. You know what a ‘Cowboy Cadillac’ is. You have both a dog and a brother-in-law named Bud Your local grocery store sells cactus in the Fresh Produce department You watch the movie Urban Cowboy and laugh at the phony Texan accents You choose a brand of Mexican salsa with the same care that another might use to select a bottle of fine wine You think that the 4 basic food groups are nachos, bar-b-que, fajitas, and Copenhagen. You refer to the Dallas Cowboys as “God’s favorite football team” You know whether another Texan is from South, West, East, North, or Central Texas as soon as they open their mouth. You don’t consider people from Your Pastor wears boots. There is no such thing as a “secret” sin. The Blue Book value on your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas it has in it. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Texas. |
