You know, the earlier war we shouldn't have gotten into...and lost. Tom and his pack of mustered out old farts think they won there, and even thought 1,000,000 vietnamese died, it was "worth it." |

It's funny how BO was given credit for directing the operation to shoot those pirates, and he had no trouble funneling nearly a trillion bucks to his buddies, but now he can't even handle the flu, and that's OK with the liberals.

I had the expectation that once Bush got in office, things would get worse. He never disappointed me. Honestly, I was dismayed when Bush took office, but the economy was humming along, and since he was mostly on vacation, I figured it wouldn't be too bad. Sure, some social programs would be gutted, but then people would wise up and vote him out in four years. Then 9/11 came, and he seemed to be hitting the right mark. Then, it all went off the tracks when the Iraq invasion was being pushed. Several of my friends said he was lying, but I said I didn't think so, even though I thought the weapons inspectors should have been given more time. I remember Rice talking about the "mushroom cloud" scenario. We were all still jittery after the bombings. I didn't believe he or Cheney would lie about something like WMDs, and everyone thought Saddam was a very bad customer. I was even more convinced when Powell sat in front of the UN and made the claims he did. Then, as the first few months passed, the lies became transparent, obvious. It all went down hill from there. But, I was still hopeful that the American people would figure it out, esp. with Kerry, a true war hero running. We know what happened then. More filthy lies and more eroding of our civil liberties. Now Obama is trying to undo some of Bush's crap, including the economic mess. It's going to take a while, and I give him latitude to try. Others clearly are not interested in that. Fear-bases strategies are very effective. We need to be vigilant. We saw what happened the last time we let down our guard. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Fear-bases strategies are very effective. We need to be vigilant. We saw what happened the last time we let down our guard. I think half our guard is on permanent vacation. Between religion, a bad case of affluenza, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer, the middle class under assault, civics no longer a part of our society, fear-based politics, divisive issues... we have lost track of the ball. We don't know if we're on offense or defense, what the rules are, what we stand for, what we need to protect, what we should try to affect and what's beyond our means. Washington is a cesspool of scheming and greed. The latest thing to capture our imagination is recovering from Bush and Cheney. It's not a very exciting endeavor to recover but it's worth the investment. It's worth investing in our own infrastructure instead of destroying someone else's and paying to rebuild their country. What happened to being interested in the welfare of our country? Did it die after WWII? Is that the last time we were really threatened and needed to pull together? I think we're lost. We've lost touch with our values, ideals, goals. Now we're into protecting against the next guy. It's not the hostile country, it's the hostile neighbor. We've grown small and petty. Look at the fight we're having over health care. People are angrier about this than sending our troops into harms way for no good reason??? We have a chance to focus on what's next but we're having to overcome the inertia of Bush, wars, state-side spying, a devisive election, etc. I hope we find our focus and a way to rebuild. This is a frightening time, not based on the fear they're trying to sell. |
