often my dear and most fabulous
reader, supporter and all round great guy MIKE R
those who have read my comments will know him quite well..
often
mike leaves a comment that acts as a pearl
rolling around in my head and causing me to think
this is an amazing thing
since if you think about it
in the course of your day
most folks
do not tell you anything that makes you think
and most of the time when you tell them something to make them think
it goes right over their head
or quickly out their ass
what can i say
humans can be rather
well
human
anyway
mike's last comment
was something ive been thinking about too
which is that
both extremes on the war subject dont quite work
the bush camp would have us think
that everything in iraq was just and meant to be
and done correctly and all we need to do is more of the same
KILL THE EVIL DOERS!
the extreme left camp
would have us think
that we need to sit on the floor
like GANDI
starving ourselves to death
or maybe go 60's and smoke some pot
and sing 'all we are asking is to give peace a chance'
and that will stop terror
no honey
much as i love the 60's
and think it was the most inspiring and creative anti war movement
in history
its just not the answer
didn't stop the war then
won't stop terror now
it would be nice if the answer could be
everyone just waking up
and saying lets make a better world before we destroy ours
but we all know that one day
after human beings have destroyed this planet
either by blowing it up in wars
or by the growing pollution and destruction to our environment
that we are ignoring while we are blowing each other up in wars
when there are like oh
a handful of people left on earth
they still wont get it
because
very few people think
really and truly think
not just about today
but tomorrow
not just about ego
but about the big picture
not just about the big picture
but the big picture as others see it
so heres what i think
first of all
the bush camp is a one way ticket to more terror not less
they have managed to antagonize the whole friggen
globe and at least half of this country if not more
the super leftie camp which sadly
seems to be the only camp speaking out LOUDLY
on behalf of democrats today
is a one way ticket to giving us
more Bush's in office
because moderate Republicans
and right leaning Democrats don't see a super softie as
a great alternative
and a super softie is not what we need to stamp out terror
what we need is someone with vision
a Democrat who is not afraid to go to war when needed
but who has the brains
and the self confidence to hold off when its possible
and to think things thru
and have a full plan for the aftermath of the war
before running off half cocked (no pun intended)
it is simply not
rational to think
that no war
no fighting
no guns
will stop terror
if we had gone this route
we would still have the taliban
in power
and we would be the joke of the world
but right now
we are the enemy of much of the world
and i suspect
we are doing a great service to radical islam
but helping hugely in the turning of
moderate muslims to their camp
one power doesnt work for anyone
didnt work for hitler
didn't work for napolean
ultimately you do meet that waterloo
and the baby bush doesn't seem
to get this
but history does
certainly one thing you can say about Clinton
he understood and respected history
we have to work together
as best we can
to defeat your enemy is to know your enemy
certainly we are not doing didly in this regard
because we are fueling the radical islamic movement
like wildfire
and just to show you that
in the face of this ever changing
and frightening world
i can say some full out shocking things
i will say this
i never
ever
ever thought id see the day
when i would say out loud and mean it
that arnold schwarzenegger
would be an improvement
over our present administration
but you know what........
oh just one little PS
take a look at a country
any country
any nation
in history
and look what happens the moment
that questioning your leader
no agreeing with your leader
causes you to be declared
un-patriotic
or punished
jailed
exposed
denounced
its always a red flag
was a red flag that first time someone was jailed for
not agreeing with Castro after his famous revolution that never ended
i dont agree with George W. Bush..
many of you don't
and we are not anti-american
or anti-christian
for feeling this way and speaking out
we are americans
and we are voicing our right of liberty
we have the right to freedom of speech
but honey
just the fact that most folks i know
are afraid to open their yap
kinda says a lot about the
state of this country
look at history
respect history
cause its like the old saying
hind sight is 20/20
