3. Just a "cakewalk"

:eyes:

Thank gawd that this is the last year of the shrub in office...

I still remember the idiot Ari Fleisher saying something to the effect of "if you have to ask if its shock and awe, it isn't shock and awe".

These are the people that someone put in power...

Imperialism and Pax Americana are insane philosophy, and I am only thankful that the absurdity of the idea is at least exposed by the facts... we are still there, we have "won" nothing, and our brave soldiers die daily for a country that has leaders that betrayed them in the most shameful way.

:grr:

5. The 23-year-old grandson of a client of

my husband was killed in Afghanistan on December 9; he was the second member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota to fall in this damned occupation. There was a picture of him with his young daughter in the paper, and it made me almost physically ill; that poor child will never know her father, and his sister and mother and family are devastated, for nothing.

And I hope to God my 23-year-old cousin's husband doesn't become one of these statistics before his time is up in March and he's supposed to come home. They were married last December and he found out the day after Christmas that he was being deployed to Iraq very soon. They've spent their entire first year of marriage thousands of miles apart, with her worrying every day that she'll get that knock on the door. I've known her from birth, it makes me sick to think of what she's going through and what she might have to go through if the worst happens. She doesn't deserve this, her husband doesn't deserve this, none of the dead deserve it, none of their families deserve it, and they all need to come home TOMORROW!

8. And we will probably show the world we dont care by voting...

in another candidate that will continue the illegal wars so they can move forward with their agenda. Its truly a shame that America has come to this, I always believed that most Americans would help out there fellow citizen but it looks like the dumbing down and brainwashing by the television has worked.

Wars forever, health care as a right...never, constitution ignored and on its way out, everything in America is getting more expensive and the elites plan to enslave us with poverty is in full effect. Good luck and thank you, to all who try to make a difference.
