11. Is your yellow ribbon buying them MORE BODY ARMOR??!??!?!
At least when Clinton was president, we had a surplus.

At least when Clinton was president, the rest of the world liked, respected, and trusted us. AND our president.

At least when Clinton was president, people regarded as each other's enemies were TALKING TO EACH OTHER. Now, all they want to do is shoot at each other.

The guys responsible for the FIRST World Trade Center terrorist attack were found, arrested, tried, AND CONVICTED.

I'd rather have a president who screwed an intern than a "president" who's screwed the whole country.

And if I see a parked car with a lot of "w04" or "bush/cheney" stickers on it or the nauseating "These Colors Don't Run" or "I support 'president' bush and our troops," and I'm in a position to do so, I leaflet that car with the following, which I found on the internet and to which I added a small paragraph. Feel free...

Dear friend and fellow American:

I know how much you support President Bush and the war effort in Iraq. But I noticed that you haven’t signed up to fight yet. It might be because you are too busy, or maybe you just didn’t know how easy it is to join! I know you probably feel guilty about sending other young men and women off to die in your place, so I am sure you’ll take this opportunity to do the right thing:

Sign up for a tour or two in Iraq today!

You will enable some poor soldier who’s stuck there, exhausted, scared, isolated, frustrated, thirsty, poorly supplied, insufficiently armored, under constant threat, lied to about why he’s there and when he’s going to be released, and yearning to come home – to do just that: come home!

What could possibly be more patriotic?

What better way could there be to prove your devotion to President Bush?

“…And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. God bless the U.S.A.”

Below are the links you can use to sign up to join any branch of the armed forces!
