If you achieve a hard on about your personal opinions...dont read this.
I'm not against people having there own opinions. I dont care if you vote democratic or republican. I dont care if you like Bush or not. Quite frankly i give no fuck. I voted for Bush. I like Bush, I think that he has done a good job as president. Do i agree with every decision he has made, no. Does it bother me that he has a speech problem, no, because im not an asshole who makes fun of every person who has a slip of the tongue. If you did a hundred public speeches a day you are bound to mess up, he just does it more than most other presidents, but at least he keeps his cigars in a humidor. The point of this is that i am tired of people complaining about him. its your right. do it. but please do it in an educated manor. stop your bitching, turn of Fox news or CNN news or whatever news you so choose to watch and educate yourself. stop following blindly. I GIVE NO FUCK.
The following is from an interview with Senator John Glenn:
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January...In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq.
When some claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war, Glenn stated the following:
Truman started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,334 per year.
John F. Kennedy...started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson...turned Vietnam into a quagmire. Form 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton...went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, but Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked the US on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled Alqaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...it took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick killing a woman. This is all fact. dont believe it, research it.
Wait...there's more...
Some people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This exchange between Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading. Not only is it pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one man's explanation of why men and women in the armed services do what they do for a living. This is a typical, though sad, example of what some who have never served think of the military.
JOHN GLENN ON THE SENATE FLOOR Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 11:13
Senator Howard Metzenbaum to Senator Glenn: "How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?"
Senator Glenn: "I've served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by antiaircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank. I ask you to go with me...as I went the other day...to a veteran's hospital and look at those men with their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a real job! You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...and you look those kids in the eye and tell them their Dads didn't hold a real job. You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetary, where I have more friends buried thank I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving flags. You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have real jobs. I'll tell you, Howard Metzenbaum; you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men- SOME MEN - who held REAL jobs. And they required a dedication to a purpose-and a love of country and a dedication to duty that was more important than life itself. And their self-sacrifice is what made this country possible.
I HAVE held a real job, Howard! What about you?"
For those who don't remember-During W.W. II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the Communist Party in the USA.
If you can read this, thank a teacher...If you are reading it in English, thank a Veteran.
For those of you who base your opinions on what the media tells you, do your own research. If you think any of this is wrong, tell me. We will look it up. Im not so hard up on my beliefs that i am blinded to others opinion. But dont argue with me when all of your "facts" are pulled out of your ass and you cant back them up. Before i voted i researched. I give no fuck.
