• Your guiding light through times of tumult, murkiness, despair, chaos, depression, gloom, doom and the good times as well, not going to stop blogging until everyone agrees with me.

  It’s humbling how many of you have been supportive and grateful to me for putting a voice to my thoughts in an effort to spread the word. I actually expected a debate or fight, but honestly, this is more heartwarming.

  I think part of it has to do with the fact that people are so sick of hearing their country being bashed on a daily basis. I mean when you wake up and day in and day out you have a group of people who get orgasmic about mews of this country’s defeat and mistakes, it’s disheartening. It’ll make you want to give up and throw in the towel.

  To me, it’s amazing how many people are religiously holding to the Hitler doctrine of a lie to long enough, loud enough, oft enough, people tend to believe. This myths has been perpetuated from the highest levels of government to the lowliest plebe.

  If we are victorious, if we are defeating terrorist, why is there such resistance? It has a lot to do with he fact that there are too many people who have a vested interest in this country’s failure. What’s good news for the country is bad news for them. What’s bad news for them is good news for the country. It is about the hatred of one man, George W. Bush.

  Okay, so he isn’t the charming, eloquent, slick Bill Clinton nor is he the charismatic conservative that Reagan was. But he has made the right decision in taking the battle to the enemy. These non-Geneva Convention-conforming parasites that hide behind the skirts of women and children are no longer on the offensive. They do not call the shots. Instead, they get luck when a car bomb takes out a semi-high ranking Iraqi official.

  The charge has been laid that this war is all about Americans getting rich because those in power have made exclusive deals with various corporate affiliates. Some have criticized that this is unfair and unethical. But I ask, is this not what Americans do? Do we not back-scratch for an in-kind return?

  The charge has been made that Dick Cheney and Haliburton are nothing more than despicable war profiteers. Okay, fine. If they are, they are. If there is enough concern that there has been criminal activity, another American tradition of the never-ending highly-publicized court battle will ensue and I’m sure that justice will be met out given the number of Clinton appointees still on the bench. Perhaps justice will not be swift enough for some, but hey, justice will be served. If, on the other hand, Cheney gets lucky and stacks the deck, he just might pull an O. J. Simpson. There too, American tradition will shine through. It will give us something to laugh about.

  But the idea that somehow this country is ther personification of evil is absurd. We give our enemies tights that we don’t afford our own citizens. We prefer those who cross our borders illegally, giving them healthcare and social security without penalty. We continue to pay high gas prices so that we can preserve ANWAR and the Everglades. Because we’re a compassionate people, we pay for those who don’t want to be productive and work for themselves. We allow them to live comfortably too, in some cases, much more than we do. Will someone please explain to me in lieu of these facts how America is the problem?
