So I was sitting here tonight trying to find something to post about. I wanted to talk about Mrs. Edwards newest solution for "global warming". Tangerines. That's right. Those little orange bastards. So sweet, and yet, sour at the same time. A multi-faceted fruit of all fruits. Oranges quiver at the raw power of the tangerine. But, I digress. She has come out and made a public statement proclaiming she will stop eating tangerines as she is on the east coast, and they have to be trucked all across the US just so she can have one. Thus, increasing the carbon footprint on those-there tangerines. This is the most retarded thing I have ever heard--from Mrs. Edwards--today.
Moving right along. There were multiple bombings today in Iraq. News? I say yes. You may say, "We hear about that all the time, why is that news?" First off, we are in a war in Iraq right now. We have men and women risking their lives on a daily basis to fight an enemy that wears no uniform. They follow no Geneva Conventions, even though we do. They follow no code of honor, they kill innocents to make a statement. We should, on a daily basis, recognize the fact that we are at WAR and recognize the sacrifices that are being made for this cause. We also should recognize the sacrifices that the civilians are making as well. Every day they practice and experience new freedoms for the very first time, and, barring fanatics, they seem to be liking it.
The US has taken over two hundred years to grow to what we are today and Congress is proposing bill after bill after bill after bill after bill (this may seem redundant...THATS THE POINT) to get us out of Iraq and just leave the Iraqis hanging in the wind after having less than 5 years to go from Saadam to soccer mom's? This process (starting up a democracy were one has NEVER been) takes a little time.
Back to the bombings. Iraqis were celebrating an Iraqi soccer match victory when a suicide bomber exploded in the crowd near a popular ice cream parlor and killed more than 30 innocent people. Roughly 45 minutes later, in a different city, another explosion killed more than 20.
So the Democrats (and some castrated Republicans) want us to leave without finishing the job? They can look at the pictures of the blasts and the body count and literally duck your tail, turn around and run? You see some men beating the hell out of a campaign contributor, I bet my left...pinky, that you would be moving mountains to help them. You see some Iraqi's getting blown to bits by a terrorist organization making major moves into Iraq and also attacking our soldiers, and "it's time for Iraqi's to step up and handle their own business so we can go home?" What is this, sink or swim with IED's?
The Dems think they're going to take office. They want us out before this becomes their baby. They don't care about the costs. Remember Vietnam? I don't (apparently, neither does John Kerry), but I do know from history that when we left Vietnam, thousands of people were slaughtered in "re-education camps". According to John Kerry, he knows of plenty of people people from the camps who, to put it in my own words, got over it. Nobody died because we left, or so John Kerry claims.
Our only hope is that one of the Republican candidates somehow makes a huge turnaround with fund raising and somehow turns into a leader for the Conservative party. Or, an unknown candidate comes in and woos us all. God help us if Hillary gets elected. Ayn Rand keeps coming to mind when I think of Hillary at the helm of the US. If you haven't read her books, PLEASE get Atlas Shrugged. And read it.
Oh, I'll TRY and post in the next few days on the recent "Debate" that CNN/YouTube hosted. What a joke. "Look to the person to your left and tell them something you don't like about them, look to the person on the right and tell them something you DO like about them." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm done.

Another great post my friend. I feel bad now for not noticing your recent posts.
I wonder if no matter who gets elected they will be pummeled and forced into making some rash moves in Iraq. I hope whoever it is will be graced with the cajones Bush has to stick with it through all the negative hype.
