Good morning all! Before this HOLIDAY WEEKEND, I'd like to give you something to think about. First and foremost, I'd like to ask you to pray, hope, eat a goat, roll the dice, --or whatever it is you do when you REALLY want something, for the troops in harm's way. This is Memorial Day, and it's a time that we Americans dedicate to those who've given their lives defending what we stand (or used to stand) for. There will be countless ceremonies, parties, dedications, etc. in support of all the past and present SOLDIERS, AIRMEN, SAILORS, AND MARINES. As usual, most of us will enjoy our 3-day weekend and not pay any mind to WHY we get it--as we are PROGRAMMED to do.
This HOLIDAY has made us immune to what it represents. Through wordplay, once again, our government has made something NEGATIVE perceived as POSITIVE. Especially NOW, being at WAR, we need to re-evaluate how much BS we will accept. WAR IS NOT GOOD, PERIOD!!!
And to everyone that voted for change last year--which better be ALL of you-- you should be outraged! The Democrats we voted in to "change course" in Iraq and here at home, just voted IN FAVOR OF a bill last night that allowed MR. BUSH to continue, business as usual. WHAT!? And this is after MONTHS OF SAYING THEY WON'T BUDGE when it comes to TIMETABLES TO PULL OUT OF IRAQ! Guess what---the bill passed giving the PRESIDENT pretty much everything he wanted.
I want to stay on topic, but it is a RAMBLING...so I just want to touch on some things that happened this past week. Aside from the funding bill---Bush secretly signed a PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE that basically gives him powers of a DICTATOR! in case of an emergency. And HE gets to say what an emergency is, when it starts, when it ends! VERY TROUBLING!
And now, he's bringing back the name of THE BAD GUY, Bin Laden, to stir up fear once again. And Al-Qaeda is now based out of Iraq? DON'T BELIEVE THIS! After he said HE'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT BIN LADEN ANYMORE, and the CIA CLOSED THE BIN LADEN UNIT LAST YEAR, he's trying to say Osama is our biggest threat, and we need to be afraid. STOP THIS BULLSHIT!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
