The only thing that I can see as a bigger threat to this nation is all of the naysayers and armchair generals that wait until AFTER a scandal occurs and then only offer opinion of what they heard from second and third party news-babble.

If there is a problem with the way FOX is reporting the news, WHY aren’t YOU providing a solution?

If those combatants that are IN A WAR ZONE, keeping the war OUT OU YOUR BACKYARD or PREVENTING YOU HAVING TO GO TO WAR are only getting THIS sort of support from you, do you actually think you deserve the title of AMERICAN?

You bitch and moan about people you have no personal knowledge of, yet you fail to step up and do a better job?

We claim to be so great, us Americans? WHY? Because when we are attacked or we face ANY sort of national crisis we all have the resources to run out and buy a bunch of T-Shirts and American Flags to wave all over the place until we get tired of waving them?

We do THIS to proclaim our patriotism?

We ALL have congressmen & senators. How many of you have actually made a scheduled appointment to discuss these issues and offer solution?

How many of you have gotten off your asses and taken a position on our southern border?

How many of you have lifted a finger to do ANYTHING in true support of this nation?

How many of you have actually EARNED your right to bitch?

Keep calling yourselves Americans as often as you can because you just gave away your House and Senate to those that are going to slowly remove your rights and enslave you.

You think I am kidding? Take a drive southbound on I-35, from Oklahoma City to Laredo, Texas. Count the number of “Highway Projects” that just happen to be going on, all at the same time…. Then play the “Connect the Dots Game”…

That’s right, each and every construction project is just one more link to unnoticeably fall into place for the NAFTA Super Highway.

Once THAT is built, kiss your patriotic whiney asses good-bye because once the SPP goes into full bloom, (2010 – 2015), OUR United States Constitution will be evaporated as Canada, The United States and Mexico become the AMERICAN UNION…

That’s right again! Once the borders drop, the Constitution ceases to exist because the Constitution was drafted for a country…. WITH BORDERS!

So, go on and keep sitting on your pompous asses and keep bitching! It will really accomplish a lot.

I question the motive and the timing. If Abu Graib is an atrocity than the bridge hangings was a nuclear war.

We all know the anti American, anti military media is demon rat infested. I cancelled advertising in the Stars and Stripes because it resembled the New York communist slimes.

It is harder to brain wash battle hardened troops than Kerry poison ivy league college kids but demoncrats will try anyhing to win reinfection.
One nation under God.
Two under Bush
Three under Der Rumsfeld Marshall.

Hey “Neutral”, check out the website from post #111. Crazy indeed. Like you, I was beginning to wonder too, and then this professor came to our library and gave a presentation about his fact gathering efforts concerning the events of 9-11. I couldn’t stay because I’m in college and had to go finish a paper but I grabbed a flier on the way out and it had that web address on it. This is some really scary stuff to say the least. I wish a team of objective professionals would check this stuff out and let us all know if any of these theories hold any weight.

Keith “checking out”, eh? Figures. When ridgid idealogues are confronted with truth, they throw epithets and retreat. I have a number of friends similar in rhetoric; usually a lot of bar-room, He-Man banter about “Nuking those Towel-heads” or something equally prehensile. Easy answers for the Duped Masses. The World is a LOT simpler to decipher in Black and White, eh? Geroge Bush (both I and II) spoon-fed the Right with all the correct Reagan knee-jerk stimuli: Wave the Flag, smile paternally, and sell ‘em a bill of goods meant to eliminate dissent. I’m no Conspiracy Buff (I think Oswald probably really did it), but now I’m open for suggestions. Do you all know that a vast percentage of people in the Mideast (I was speaking to educated Egyptians one day recently) believe either Israel or the CIA (or both), were actually responsible for 9-11? Crazy?? I’m beginning to wonder…

Yes, the people of Iraq are a real threat to our liberties aren’t they? Bush is more of a threat to our liberties then Saddam or any other Iraqi. You are a teacher? What do you teach? How to become numb and allow your government to exploit you? Too old? I have friends in their 60’s over there fighting, and they are smart enough to know that they are not over there to ‘protect our liberties’. Keep believing it and it will come true, in your own mind.

Flipper:

I thought I would write one more email to maybe enlighten you. That shouldnt be real hard considering your narrow views of things. Why am I not fighting for something that i believe in so much. Well, that may have to do with my age, and this professor is a little to old to reenlist. My profession is teaching and we have professional soldiers that signed up to do just what they are doing. Fight and protect our liberties.

I work with soldiers everyday and many of them are friends of mine. I don’t like seeing my friends being exploited for war profiteering. Believe in or not, the anti-war movement is hitting the ranks of military personal just as it is in the public. The soldiers are tired of being exploited too. I know many soldiers who will not be staying in the military because of BushCo. They are going to do their time and they are out. Like most Americans and I, they love their country but are tired of the same old rhetoric coming out of the White House and there is no end in site, in regards to Iraq. And as I stated before, Bush had public opinion on his side until he turned bin Laden in Saddam. You leaving this forum has nothing to do with educating us idiots, none of your arguing points proved anything except you are a true mislead person who denies facts and believes everything the cronies are telling you. If you support this war so much, why aren’t you over there fighting it?

Your an idiot? I dont support the war but i support the troops sure you do. History guy, during those wars mentioned public opinion was not all on the side of the war. Matter of fact before we entered world war I most people opposed the war, and not until our propaganda machine was put into swing did public opinion change. i’m tired of trying to educate idiots. i’m out!

Actually after the Germans sunk the Lusitania during WWI, the public opinion wanted Wilson to declare war on Germany and after Pearl Harbor men were lined up around the block to be recruited. It was the same after 9-11 until BushCo spun the events of 9-11 into their personal conquest. WWI and WWII there were countries being invaded. Iraq didn’t invade anybody. We had sanctions on Iraq, weapons inspectors never came close to finding WMD and BushCo used 9-11 to install fear to win support to invade Iraq, although Saddam never attacked us (or anyone) or had the means to do so. If you want to blame someone for us not coming together, blame BushCo. We all stood behind Bush after 9-11. It wasn’t until he turned bin Laden into Saddam that the people started to divide. Bin Laden is still at large while we are at war with a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. And no one would be stopping recruiters from doing there job if they didn’t feel like the military is being exploited. Militaries don’t start wars, politicians do. I support our military, in fact I work for the military, but I do not support the exploitation of our soldiers.

I know bush is no jimmy carter. If you check your facts, as you want to say, WWI, Civil War and even WWII were wildly unpopular at the very beginning of those wars. And many people continued to say we need to retreat and make peace. Thank god our leaders didnt listen during those times as well. These are hard times and of course people wish we were in different situation. We could pretend like nothing is wrong like many in the democratic party have done for years. Or we could take care of the situation now. If we actually came together we could be successful in this war against extremism. but unfortunately some of you will do what ever you can to hurt our chances. Including trying to stop recruiters from doing their jobs and giving support at least sometimes.

I am currently living overeas. I meet many, many traveling business people from around the globe, (including Mulsims, all of whom that I’ve met are wonderful, gentle and considerate), and one thing has been clear: George Bush & Co. have done more to destroy the credibility and respect for the United States than anything any “outside” force could have ever dreamed of accomplishing. We commonly consider Bin Laden and his ilk to be dirty scrounging fanatics, capable of only limited intelligence and vision. In actuality, Bush with his rigid, self-aggrandizing Shoot ‘Em First policies has played right into BL’s hands. Somewhere in a remote Pakistan village Bin Looney is chuckling gleefully at his incredible luck.

Keith… You keep talking about HATE but your choice of language seems to indicate you are on the SUPPLY end of that emotion. “Wackos”, indeed I have a number of friends who are pro Bush, and the rhetoric is all the same: shallow and vehement.

Sorry to break it to you but Clinton Job approval rate was over 70 percent in December of 1998 (during his impeachment), well into his second term. If fact, it was higher then Regans approval, throughout his whole term. Try doing a little research before you just get on here and puke out what you want to believe. Nobody on this website wants our soldiers to die, its the policies you believe in that is killing our soldiers. Also, nobody on this post said anything about about pulling inside our own borders. If you remember correctly, Osama bin Laden was the man behind 9-11 and if Bush and his cronies would have stayed the original course we may have been able to capture and kill him by now. But no, for some reason Osama turned into Saddam, who was ablsolutly not a threat to us; it has been proven time and time again. No one said we wanted to become a socialist state. Why should only the rich receive the tax breaks? Being just an average person (which most of us are), don’t you think the poor need tax breaks more than the rich do? Being a Patriot has nothing to do with being a sheep for your government. We are Patriots because we stand up for what we believe in, even if it is against what the Government wants. Now, before you go on another one of your misguided tiraids, do some research and get your facts straight.

Wrong, Wrong and even more wrong! This is the same thing that was said before election from you wackos. And when a president is in his second term and cant be reelected this is what all two term presidents go through. People were absolutely sick of clinton by the time he was at this point. And he didnt have to deal with terrorism, natural disasters and the like. Unfortunately he thought the terrorism would all just go away much like some of you nutjobs.
Now you people have bashed bush and everyone else. But you have no ideas for yourself. I know i will hear all kinds of slogans that should be done. Let all retreat back behind our borders and become isolationist and maybe everything will go away. Let tax as much as we can so we can redistribute the wealth. Thats called a socialistic state and most of you want that. Pro abortion, anti death penalty, no drilling yet we need more energy. Go ahead lets hear how everything is crap and we need to even everything out. Oh ya we have capitalism and democracy. That means you shold have to work for what you get and the republicans are in charge because they won an election. But instead of trying to do whats good for america you people just do what ever you can to make sure the republicans look bad. Keep hoping more soldiers die so that we fail in iraq and you can make your point.
nice job patriots
I live in the Midwest and not all of us are delusional like yourself. In fact I live in the most conservative state in the nation and even the â€˜Bush loversâ€™ of last year are now â€˜Bush hatersâ€™, even in the most conservative state in the land. Giving up our freedoms IS NOT for the betterment of the American people. You maybe willing to give up your freedoms so you feel safer, but I (and a lot of other people on here) are not. The only reason Bush won the last election 1) people like you believed all the fear he was pumping into you and 2) John Kerry was a weak running mate. If the election was held today, Ronald McDonald could beat Bush because people are finally waking up to Bushâ€™s failed policies and realizing Bush has done nothing to better the everyday citizen of this nation and that anyone could do a better job then these money hungry, idealistic mis-guiders. When the Dems win the next election youâ€™ll be eating your words.

Its to bad for you people that you dont realize that you lost the election. Just like you lose all the elections. The Iraq war was on the ballot the last presidential election and you no what? Bush Won! I know that you will talk about public opinion, well before the election the media talked about how much trouble the republican were in, but you no what the dems lost. Bush will not be impeached or anything else. so why waste your time. With you ideas of impeachment, lincoln and fdr would have both been impeach. Do you know why? Because in times of war they also did things for the betterment of the American people. And during those times there were people that complain then as well. There will always be radicals like you people. Sometime visit the midwest and find out what normal people think.

Also, we were not doing nothing. We had sanctions on Iraq and according to the president before 9-11, they were working.

Let me quote this again for you.

â€œWe had a good discussion, the Foreign Minister and I and the President and I, had a good discussion about the nature of the sanctions â€” the fact that the sanctions exist â€” not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Husseinâ€™s ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraqâ€¦â€

Keith, it’s ok to be scared. The Patriot Act was put into place because of people like you, people who are willing to give up your freedoms for a little bit of security. You can blame the Dems as much as the Bushies all you want. Bottom line, the Dems were not using manipulated intelligence to win support for an unnecessary war. The Dems are not the ones leaking CIA agents and it is not the Dems who are spying on Americans. There is more then one reason this administration needs be thrown out of office. Bush took the largest federal surplus (thanks to Clinton) and turned it into the largest federal deficit IN AMERICAN HISTORY; he has never vetoed a spending bill and has spent more federal money THEN ALL OTHER PRESIDENTS COMBINED! He spent more in five years then all the previous presidents, over a 200 year span, all while giving tax breaks to the rich. Are you rich Keith? Maybe that’s why your defend the cronies? Bush cuts military benefits while our soldiers are fighting his war, at the same time tells us we need to support our troops so we are not sending ‘mixed signals’. WHAT??? Cutting their benefits while fighting a war is what sends mixed signals, paying an American contractor in Iraq 3-4 times as much money as the soldier protecting his ass; that sends mixed signals. By the way Keith, seems you have just as much hate in you eyes as the rest of us. The difference is, the hate in your eyes is blinding you.

How stupid are some of you people? Does the hatred get in you eyes or what? The majority of the democrats were saying the same thing before bush took office. Clinton stated that something needed to be done because of the threat iraq was to the us. Kerry, Gore etc. Quit playing politics. Both parties thought it. And by the way, Its not a bad thing that saddam is not longer in power. So you are saying he would try and kill an ex president but he would never do anything else. get a clue. He was abully on the block paid and supported terrorism. Get rid of the bully and eventually the block will have a chance to clean up. What will doing nothing do, oh ya 9/11! dumb asses

I am done with President Bush~~
~~In the year 2001 before 9-11 ~~ he deeply embarrassed me personally by profusely apologizing to the Chinese ~~ it was REALLY EMBARRASSING to see the two week ~~ rewriting of an apology to the damn Chinese ~~ but after 9-11 I realized President Bush had a good idea to go into Afghanistan with worldwide support ~~ continue our Iraq Policy ~~albeit without world support ~~ but since mid-2004 ~~I started to notice odd quirks and pathetic missteps ~~ Then right now I have serious problems ~~ our foreign policy mirrors that of Israel exactly ~~ North Korea is appeased (maybe because they are not threatening Israel) ~~ so all in all the below poll will give you an idea of what I think of President Bush at this moment:

Judging from his stances and actions, President Bush is actually: (pick 1)
President of Israel
President of Iraq
President of Mexico
President of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait
President of Spending
Vice President of the USA
