We have over 500 dead Americans in a needless war with no end in sight
And our President is worried enough about some gay guys that want to get
married to talk about it in SOTU?

Actually, as I'm sure you realize, Bush probably doesn't give a damn
about the issue itself. What he cares about is what every politician
cares about -- votes.





There are a few politicians who do care about more than votes
unfortunately americans only vote for those who 'can win'
it's the catch 22 of political reality

This election is lost to democrats because liberals and swing voters don't
think they can win, and if they don't win they will be outsiders. (This is
why every third vehicle on the highway is a SUV, and why people actually eat
at McDonalds)

The Republicans and GWB in particular have framed the debate in a way that
makes anyone who disagrees, a contemptable 'terrorist supporter' and
un-patriotic

There is no mistake in the name of "The Patriot Act"
It is like the wording "Right to Work", and "Right to Life"
No accident that if you disagree you are automatically labeled as opposed to
life, opposed to work, and opposed to america.

It's a sad state of affairs driven by corporate and political greed,
corruption and favoritism.
The uneducated masses, the sheep with the ring in their nose and blood on
their faces has either to follow blindly or be swept up in accusations of
being "un-american."

This is the woeful cry of all the rush limboes, hate mongers, bigots, and
re-writers of history, who secretly hope they too will someday be, somehow,
elevated to the luxurious status of in-siders. They are however wannabe's
and it is this knowledge drives their hatred as they attempt in vain to
seperate themselves from the rest of the unwashed silent but deadly
majority.

If you think that the policy of exclusion, and the depravation of people's
rights is not a dangerous and deadly course of action, then reflect back
upon Columbine, and Oklahoma City to name a few. If you do not think that
the actions of american foreign policy contributed to the Sept. 11 events,
then you are sadly mistaken. If you think the global war on terror will
reduce the instances of terrorist strikes against america, you need only
look at what's happening to the Russians in Checnia, and to the "coalition"
in Iraq.

Peace cannot be brought about by the application of military force, not
unless of course, you intend to exterminate every single person who
disagrees with your policies. Judgement awaits the neo-hitlers who wish to
repeat that history.

Americans need to understand that only by inclusion of all people,
regardless of their history, can we ever hope for peace in this world. It is
a new age. The enemy has weapons of mass destruction, and unlike the
weaponry of the former soviet union, these weapons can be used against us.
And unless we do something about it, my prediction is that they will be
used.
