Tony,
That's exactly the problem. We live in a period of time where Joe McCarthy
II is in charge. He makes Nixon look like a saint. You simply CAN NOT have
a reasonable argument that makes the president look wrong. This president
is never wrong. He never hears from anyone that disagrees with him, fires
those that do, and believes that stubbornness - even when wrong - is a good
trait rather than to evolve and change your mind or perspective on things.
I cannot believe that anybody else would have gotten away with changing the
reasons a nation was led into war as many times as this president has done.
This is one of the most difficult decisions a president has to make and he
lied to us repeatedly over what our soldiers are dying for.
But you've gotta give the administration credit. They've successfully
branded anyone with a different opinion as "unpatriotic" and made a lot of
good people keep their mouth shut for the past few years. I'm still waiting
for someone to be brave enough and admit that we were wrong:
1 Saddam didn't have weapons. He was just king of the hill and wanted his
nation to believe he had weapons to fear him.
2 We will have spent about TEN times the amount the president originally
said this war in Iraq was going to cost by the time it's over (if ever)
3 We have done very, very little to protect homeland security since 9/11 -
all you had to do is take a train or subway during the past 4 years to
wonder when changes were going to happen
4 The border has been opened up during a period of time when we're supposed
to be stopping terrorism. Why make it easier for them to come across into
the US?
5 We have not only stretched our military forces thin but our reaching
all-time lows as far as recruiting goes. Nobody wants to be sent to war
forever.
And yet, people are scared to discuss this. Folks, discussing this is NOT
UNPATRIOTIC it is the opposite. It is the most patriotic thing we can do.
Silence is what kills a nation. I have German blood running through my
veins and I know that it was the silence that led that nation into ruin.
When people fail are afraid to speak up, what does that say about the
freedoms we are supposedly having soldiers die for?
