I Weep for this Country

[rayvyn2k]

Literally. I cried myself to sleep last night and my eyes are leaking again today. I don't know what people are thinking. I don't know how they can look at that idiot and see a "leader" of any kind. A draft-dodging drug using party boy who has alway cheated to win. Looks like we're in for four more years of tax breaks for the wealthy and young men dying in the name of...oil.

I just don't understand. All I know is I'm going to encourage my son to marry his fiance as soon as possible. I don't trust the idiot not to reinstate the draft and my child is not going. He has a baby to take care of. I won't give up my child to an unjust war.

Anyway, I'm still shell-shocked. I don't know how I'm going to concentrate at work today. Because I will look at the people around me and wonder--why?

Ok, I feel the need to tone down my comment, and will say that war IS a big deal and not to be taken lightly. I cant imagine who would WANT to be over there, although I do have a step brother who came out of inactive duty to activate himself to go over to Iraq for 6 months. He went through some terrible hardships, half of his unit was killed by an attack, while he came back to the U.S. on leave. I know that he thinks about what happened over there on a daily basis and feels the guilt that he couldnt do anything to stop what the terrorists have done. But he believes as I that he would rather fight a war over there than fight it over here.
I just want to make it known to those who have a negative outlook on war and why we are over there, that it IS necessary to keep them from attacking us. Yes, Iraq is a mess, something must be done to correct it. I have full faith in President Bush that he will take the next four years to make changes necessary for the best interests of our country. You have a right to your opinion, but your feelings that we are idiots for putting him back in office was an emotional comment and not one based on common sense. Now that we have radicals such as Daschle out of office, we can start getting things passed to fix the domestic issues in the United States. All I ask is give him a chance to work for you and you will feel better about yourself and your country.
