Gentleman.
I received this in email over the weekend. It sums up a lot of the way the world is at this moment in time. The sender is the son of an old friend. Who, like his Father was a died in the wool Repug. After serving 3 tours in Iraq, and now disabled, with a pocket full of metals; had these questions for me. Like a lot of people, working for the Gov, and also questioning the Gov, I had no answers for this fine young man. But, he appears to have the same questions, a bunch of us have been asking for the last 8 years. These are honest, real, questions, the neo-cons don't want to hear. My friends, The Grand Old Party of Lincoln has been high-jacked. And, we must win it back. Even if it takes losing this election. The 2 party's are really one. And we are in the middle, and screwed badly. Read the questions, and try and think out of the box. OJ. Questions. Why is it that when I question my government, Mr. Bush and the lies of Washington I'm labeled unpatriotic? Anti American? Who has the right to question my love for my country when I question the actions of my government? I am sick to death of these hypocrites, the vast majority of them from the right, telling me I'm un-American because I choose to stand up and question the LIES of the government! Who the hell are you to tell me I'm un-American? Who the hell are you tell me I'm unpatriotic? I want troops out of this oil war, does this make me anti-American? I want a change in direction for this nation, does this make me unpatriotic? I find it real funny that the Republicans act as if they're the only damn Americans in this nation. The arrogance coming from these individuals is just astounding, and when I hear talk of "individual freedom "or ""pro-American" from the right, it makes me sick to the stomach, because I know damn well that's just a sack of BS. Anybody including the media, who is critical of the right, lets just label them all "liberal media "and turn the other cheek, because we don't want to listen to the TRUTH. The media isn't perfect, but this attitude of getting all worked up and labeling every damn new source besides fox as liberal bias is just pathetic, it really is, its denial at its worst. So Republicans think there the only damn patriots in this country? Well let's see he -Don't question the Republican government or else your anti-American. -When you oppose the Iraq war, your anti-troops and your anti-patriotic. So I should just sit along and believe in everything the government tells me, so long as they're the republicans with "Christian" ideals? -I preach freedom yet at the same I should strip the freedom of CHOICE away from women? All because I have different beliefs, I hold religious beliefs? I should force those beliefs onto others and other than that I should be for freedom? Folks you know what this reminds me of? 1930s Germany, where you were labeled as a hater of your nation when you questioned the Nazi controlled government. -In 1930s Germany you labeled a traitor when you questioned the invasion and occupation of Poland, France and other European nations. SO when I question the government, especially the republican government, I'm actually putting down the entire nations? Right... so says rightie. So says Joe the fake plumber. So says the McPalin express. Fighting for freedom in Iraq huh? That's why I can't question the war huh? They certainly don't want us there, what makes you think we're fighting for freedom? WMDs? www.usatoday.com... www.cnn.com... There were no damn WMDs, so why did we still go in there? We had no reason. Oh wait now its regime change? Well why the hell aren't we in North Korea then, or Pakistan, or Sudan? Or Burma/Myanmar?? And your tell me I'm ant-American, anti-military, anti freedom because I question this war? Because I choose to see the lies? What, I'm a socialist because I don't hold conservative values? What are we in the 1960s? Since when did the Soviet Union come back to life? What are we hunting for communists again? I cant believe that in 2008 I cant question a damn the about the government because rightie says so. I cannot believe this logic of forcing ones own religious values onto others but at the same time preach freedom. I cannot believe there is no objectivity left in Middle America.... I cannot believe this partisan stance behind its partisan government no matter what lies may be revealed. I couldn't give a damn whether your right wing or left wing, I do give a damn when you question my love for this country because I choose to question the lies of my government. I do give a damn when you say you're more patriotic because you believe every BS that comes out of fox news. I do give a damn when you question my respect for those men and women fighting in Iraq, because I oppose putting them through harms way in this war of lies. I well and truly believe Middle America has gotten Patriotism confused with nationalism, and if this is the case, if being a patriot is really a nationalist fascist, then DAMN STRAIGHT I'm anti-patriotic. "Southern Comfort". |

You got that so right! I feel this is an election to take back the country from 8 years of the stupid. I honestly feel there should be a minimum IQ level before someone is allowed to vote as well as run for president. So do I! That would certainly wipe out a HUGE portion of those who are wont to vote Liberal/Democrat/Marxist. Judging from your posts lately, it would wipe you out too. Somehow I doubt that. The rest of us have no such doubt! |
