Sacred Cows that need slaughtered
Feel free to add any other cows you can think of.

Presidents with military careers make the best leaders. Nonsense.
Many of our finest presidents were never in the military.

Clinton was a draft dodger. Utter nonsense. He was never drafted, never ran away, merely got deferments, like dick cheney, who got 5.

Protesting a war makes one a traitor. Tripe. A true patriot will speak up and protest anything he sees wrong with America. Not only one of our rights, but one of our duties.

Being photographed with a felon or crook makes one the same as a felon or crook. Balderdash. There have been millions of photos taken of pols shaking hands with crooks. Look at that photo of rummy and Saddam.

bush sr. was a war hero. Hogwash. The story I heard was he bailed out of a plane, deserting his buddy to perish. Then, when he was lifted out of the sea onto the deck of the battleship, there was a camera crew cranking out future political 'war hero' images, paid for by daddy prescott bush.

bush jr. lives on a ranch. A total fairytale. The ranch was a run down hog farm, given a quick facial and made to look like the bush ancestral home on the range. Part of the 'making' of a president.

bush is just inarticulate, not stupid. Way wrong. bush is dangerously stupid. If anyone watched him on tim russert last week, they know this. He's literally the stupidest man to ever hold the office.

A male politician who cheats on his wife is morally unfit to lead America. Piffle. We have our puritan side that suggests adultery is acceptable but looked down on for us, but not our elected officials.
Many past presidents have been scoundrels, good and bad.

Adultery, and lying about it, is an impeachable offense. Not. Yet, this is what they did to Clinton. We all watched as Henry 'youthful indiscretion' Hyde, Dan 'lovechild' Burton, Newt 'the adulterer' Gingrich, and all the other adulterers marched along the halls with impeachment papers. And we let these hypocrites impeach Bill.

Gay marriages will destroy the institution of marriage. Claptrap.
There will always be people who want to sign something and have a party and declare their love in public. If they want to take that plunge, let them. People used to look down on inter racial marriage too, but now, it's perfectly acceptable, as it should be.

Fox news is fair and balanced. Total Bull----. Why are they not being sued for just claiming that? They are a direct branch of bushco.

We've got to stay in Iraq and finish what we've started. Poppycock.
We should immediately abandon the accursed place and take care of our own backyards.

Saddam and Osama did 9-11. Balderdash. That's the official story from the White House, the next day, and I don't believe ANYTHING coming out of that office.

Saddam was pulled out of a hole and captured. Twaddle. Did anyone see the footage of him coming up out of that hole? Would he even FIT through such a small hole? Why would we capture one of our own operatives and claim he was our enemy? Why has no one interviewed him? Why isn't he speaking out?

A woman's breast is an offensive thing, never to be seen by our children. Prattle. There are so many other truly offensive things on t.v., that one little brown breast is the least of our worries.

There will be peace between Israelis and Palestinians someday. Blather. How long has this little conflict been going on? How many have died altogether? Let's stay out of it.

America is a Christian nation. Hooey. America is a melting pot of all religions and cultures. That's been our experiment from the beginning, all are welcome, one must not become dominant over the other.

bush supports the troops. Malarkey. He sends them off to die with the same regard he has ordering a pizza. He has attended not one soldier's funeral. He's ordered no images of soldier's funerals. He's cut funding to the military, and he himself was a deserter.

Slavery doesn't exsist. Drivel. Slaves make our sneakers, our sweaters, slaves pick our strawberries and apples. Slaves toil in foreign factories for pennies a day, our luxurious way of life, like our southern counterparts before the civil war, is based on slave labor.

bush is a good Christian man. Bunk. That's about the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on America's not-too-bright born-agains. None but the totally hypnotized could ever believe this murdering thief could be a Christian.

America is not in the business of nation building. Rot. That's all we've been doing for over two centuries, invading, toppling, and building nations.

Only a white man can get elected. Garbage. Someday, soon, America will elect a woman, or a black man or woman, or a non christian, or even a gay or lesbian person. It's only democratic.

....There are many sacred cows in our culture. And some of them are vestiges left over from the two previous centuries of America's exsistence. Some of them need to be slaughtered, sliced, and eaten.
Sacrificed, so that we may progressively enter the new century and restore America to it's original dream.

8. I disagree with a few
We've got to stay in Iraq and finish what we've started. Poppycock.
We should immediately abandon the accursed place and take care of our own backyards.


I think we do have a moral obligation to fix things. You might say "Would you want an arsonist to stay and your house to help put out the fire he just set?" and that's why it's important to oust Bush in this election.

There will be peace between Israelis and Palestinians someday. Blather. How long has this little conflict been going on? How many have died altogether? Let's stay out of it.

That's what Bush wanted to do when he took office. It doesn't work. The fact is that for now, the United States is a hegemon. We're the only one who can do anything to force the Israelis and the Palestinians to the table. Hopefully Sharon will be unseated soon, and there'll be more hope for a permanent solution.
