well darlings
took quite the pummeling on micheles site today
see the small victory link dearies
because i am far too blonde today to type in the code
no the pummeling was not from michele
although hmm a little leather
and some mood music
and i would be happy to oblige to the great goddess of chutzpah
but it was in her comments section
you see
in the post where michele
says she will vote for bush and why
i added my comment
of why i dont like him
and more so
why he scares the %#^&^%# shit out of me
well honeys
that took on a slew of pro-bush
shut up rossi you stupid little blonde tart
sort of stuff
and i admit to you
i may have to go pick up my thesaurus
to fully understand just how slighted i was
so i signed off this am
feeling just how i felt when we went to war on Iraq
i was not anti-war
but i was so anti what happened to everyone who was anti war
here in nyc
anti war protestors
were treated as terrorist suspects
and held and interrogated
in some cases
until various human rights organizations got involved
the message was
to be anti-war
meant to be anti american
oh my god
didn't we learn anything from vietnam?
this is america!
we are supposed to speak out when something bothers us
i dont like our president
i have not from day one
he is not the president this country elected
he took our strong economy and pulled it into the toilet
he ruined all the world support we had after "911' within one year
his patriot act dabbles dangerously in the lessening and, or, removing
of some of our basic human rights
he handled Iraq so badly from a PR point of view
and from a world wide support point of view (redundant i guess)
that america now has less support world wide
then we have had in years
actually i dont remember a time in my life
that we have had less world wide support
do you?
im not saying we need to get the worlds permission to do the right thing
israel is a good example
im just saying that if there is a way to do it right
and to soften the blow
we should at least try to take it
clinton was great at that
yes he was a flatterer
but honey
he was the king of PR
and it worked well for us
i dont think everything bush does is wrong
i like that he supports israel
i like that he took out the taliban
i like that he wants democracy in the middle east
but over-all
i personally really do think he's a bad man
and i dont think hes a smart man
and thats a bad combo
but heres the thing
whenever i speak out against bush
i get such a heated backlash
i feel such blind rage
that sometimes
it makes me feel
(for a moment)
like keeping my mouth shut
i fight against it
of course
and i talk
or write anyway
but its hard
and it feels hard
and i feel often beaten down when i do it
and thats what frightens me most
that the climate in this country
is so intense
and patriotism
has morphed into
only-one-way-ism
that you can only speak your mind
if you are pro bush
pro-republican
this is so wrong
so to all those who adore bush
who support him un-conditionally
who will vote for him
and beg us all to do the same
i support you
and your right
to your own opinion
and your political leanings
and all i ask
is that you
do the same for me
--
and to andrea
i appreciate your softening the blow post this afternoon...
and while i dont agree with you
on most things along this subject line
i do recognize
a well read
eloquent writer
when i read one
(damn im sure i misspelled eloquent)
ah well
in closing
bush = bad
support for however the hell you feel about bush
= good
