I can think of two times that Bush has acted angry or mean spirited...right after Sept. 11 and when he heard the news that Paul Johnson's head had been cut off...man was he pissed then. The first time that I realized I voted for the wrong guy (Gore) was shortly after Sept. 11 when Bush gave one of his great "The USA's coming for your @$$eS speeches". Also, he was extremely angry when he heard the news of Paul Johnson's demise. This is the kind of guy that we need...not someone who will jump in bed with foreign leaders who love to see us attacked, or wave the "we're Americans and we deserved it" banner.
At the thought of Americans not getting angry over these sorts of things or Americans blaming Bush for going to war, I get sick to my stomach. I would love to see the statements made if we have another massive attack in the US. As someone stated before, for those people that are blaming him for "creating wars" they would be blaming him for not doing enough...this makes me sick too.
In an ironic twist to all of this, I am almost getting to the point where I don't care if we get attacked again. I am beginning to realize that if somewhere between 40-50% of us feel this way, then let us have it. Maybe we do need to be taught a lesson. The funny thing is that I live in Sylvania Ohio and if we make it easier for them to come "take us", then Sylvania, Ohio atleast will be way down their list. Geographically speaking, most of the people who are against our current national security policies live in more tempting locations or "targets", so fck it, let us have it!
Where would we be right now if our grandfathers and great grandfathers stood back in 1941 and said "you know what, those Japanese people are right, come have us your way."?
I will wrap this up by saying that as I stated earlier, I did not vote for Bush due to my naivete. After realizing what it meant to be a liberal (national UNsecurity, non involvement, non commitment, and patriotic deficiency), I have determined that I am definitely more conservative than liberal, if being conservative means that you practice common sense approaches to real life situations. On the other hand, I was too young to vote for Clinton, but I think that he was a good president. I don't get caught up in the Monica Lewinski stuff, because that didn't affect me, but if we were to get another libby in office, I sure as hell hope it would be someone like him. In all honesty, he doesn't believe the common libby opinion that we should not go to war with terrorist countries that threaten our national security...and yes, Iraq and Afghanistan were both terrorist countries (just ask a guy named Al Zarqawi, Uday Hussein (commonly known for his rapist raids he placed upon junior high and high schools, but I guess that doesn't make him a bad person), Qusay Hussein, Chemical Ali, etc. :mad:
