Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high.
Ever play that card game, what's it called, "BULLS#IT!"
Claiming that record homeownership is proof positive that our economy is doing fine in the wake of the subprime debacle is just plain absurd! That's like my son going to the pound and being surprised when he gets to go home with a puppy. Lenders were practically gift-wrapping home loans to anyone that walked in the door.
Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.
Sorry, wrong again. According to a
release from the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the unemployment rate reached a 29-year low of 4.2% in September, 1999. Our current unemployment rate is 5.5%, which also happens to be a 5-year high.
And things aren’t looking good out on the horizon...
We face real threats in the world.
And we now face even more because you and your cronies took too long to figure out that the intelligence was faulty!
If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.
You make it sound like you can pull a few magic strings and have anything done you damn well please. You say you can have weapons hidden in Iraq to be discovered. And yet you can’t discover Osama bin Laden? Hell, you found Saddam hiding out in a hole in the ground, what gives!?
Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.
Well sure…and if I put my kid over my knee, he’ll own up to hiding Daddy’s keys. Except my kid didn’t land his toy jet on his toy aircraft carrier and draw “Mission Accomplished” in crayon on some toilet paper that he hung on the wall while he claimed victory over Daddy!
Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me.
Really? Is that why you unilaterally invaded Iraq? And is that why members of your Joint Chiefs of Staff said that Saddam Hussein “poses no immediate threat and that the United States should continue its policy of containment rather than invade Iraq to force a change of leadership in Baghdad.” Their concern was that if Saddam Hussein is removed, Iraq could “split up…potentially leading to chaos and the creation of new anti-American regimes and terrorist sanctuaries in the region.”

Frighteningly prophetic!
She wants to take your kids away and let the 'Whole Village' raise them! i.e. governmental indoctrination .. Look that one up.
Boy, Bushie, you sure come up with some dandies! When the hell did she say she wants to actually take our kids away? She did, however, write a book titled “It Takes a Village.” In short, she insinuates that our children are influenced and nurtured by many forces outside the home – teachers, friends, coaches, doctors, nurses, neighbors, etc., etc., etc… So, Georgie, whether you like it or not it does take a VILLAGE. Hell I’m willing to bet it took the whole damn state of Texas to raise you! Though that certainly doesn’t say much for Texas.
You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11.
Oh, of course. I knew this one had to make an appearance…Ladies and Gentlemen! It’s the much overused “if we don’t fight them over there, we’ll be fighting them over here” line. Okay moving on…[be sure to retype that in the prompter for his next speech]
I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'
Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.
Okay, now here I actually somewhat agree with you. I’ll argue to the bitter end that going into Iraq was a colossal error! But, now that we’re there, I’m torn on what we should do. If we stay, more soldiers die…and for what? To create a democracy? Please! If we leave, democracy and the rest of the country and its citizens all collapse inward like a black hole. The Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds will dissect that country and keep the parts that they want. Okay, so maybe I’m not as torn as I think I am. But part of me holds out some hope that the efforts of our soldiers aren’t fruitless. I think much of the problem with our shortsightedness is due to the Gulf War. Too many people, I believe, saw this as Bush v. Saddam or USA v. Iraq Part II and just anticipated it would be a war of months, not years. But it sure doesn’t help when that donkey went out and said “Mission Accomplished.” That may go down as perhaps one of the biggest political blunders in American history?
Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well Fed Ex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.
WHAT?!?!?! HOW???? That is just blatant hate straight from the GOP handbook. That’s like me saying that every time you buy the New York Post, tune in to Faux News, or send a donation to another morally corrupt and contradictory Republican’s political campaign, well, dang it, you might as well just stuff a 20 in the back pocket of that Exxon oil executive! Or wait, make it a 100, because once they clean the RED blood-stained White House and paint it BLUE, those oil execs will finally be paying proper taxes.
In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.
HERE, HERE! I weep for this country when I realize the kind of crap that is dominating our airwaves. It is downright criminal and, in fact, makes me angry! If more Americans watched programming with some smarts, we might have never had this President for the last 8 god awful years! Instead shows like Big Brother live on for 10 seasons…Hmmm, that’s ironic that we’ve got a President who’s been around almost as long as a show named Big Brother considering he’s grown our government to its biggest and most intrusive capabilities yet – HELLO Patriot Act!
I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.
HAHA! You want to talk about Katrina! Why would George W. Bush want to relive that disaster? “Doin’ a heckuva job, Brownie!” IIIIIIIII could say more about my expectations that the government refocus its energies inward on domestic problems rather than on Iraq. Maybe if you sent some of those FEMA trailers over there, we could poison all of the terrorists when they try to set up a trailer park on the outskirts of their training grounds.
I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.
I’ll gladly keep my money to myself if the alternative is that it ends up in the hands of a trigger-happy, drunken sailor, who wants to spend it in Iraq. Hell, now we know why they call it the GREEN ZONE! That’s where they’re hiding all of our damn money!
Just for laughs: By George, I didn’t know you were a
cheerleader!
Good Night.
