send it to Bush and he might hire you. Just don't send it to the media. they'll make sure your reputation is smeared before you can show it to anyone else who might listen.


alright, they're not QUITE that evil.

Ooh, right. *Scratches CBS, ABC, and all other news stations except Fox off of his application list. Circles "Bush Administration"*

Lol. Wonder what'll happen with Fox. will more people start watching it or less?

I find it sad I could tell you who Brit Hume, Bret Bayer (sp?), and Tony Snow are by looking at them, but try asking me to put a name to a movie star's face....heh.

I've got Brit Hume, but not the other guys. My favorite, though, is O'Reilly. xp In yo face, liberals! xd

Maybe I should send it to him. surprised Now -there's- an idea with merit! 3nodding

Sean Hannity. Except my dad doesn't like him much. He likes him, he just doesn't have a high opinion of his intelligence. That makes sense I guess considering I usually come up with political deductions about three minutes before Hannity does and it's always wrong. Even when it's right. Eh. Gotta love fathers.

I like Hannity and Colmes, because it's kinda cool to hear both sides of the issue at once.

My best friend in the whole world is pro-choice, pro-hippy, pro-anythingbutBush (except Kerry. He scares her too) pro-anything liberal. lol.

This seems pretty simplistic but I find it just spiffy. Today my dad took me to the National Republican Headquarters of "where I live" to get some front yard signs. While I was there I picked up a Bush/Cheney '04 sticker and stuck it on my back pack. So excited to see the looks on the faces of my liberal friends.

"CONVERT SATANIST!"
"Um...I"m Lutheran."
"CONVERT! CONVERT!"

Thirdly: The thing is, that's right. Kerry doesn't stand for anything.



A quote from my father impersonating a reporter and a democrat.

Reporter: So who are you voting for?
Democrat: Kerry! Kerry! Kerry!
R: Why?
D: Cause he's not Bush! He's not Bush! He's not Bush! (imagine this is a rapid rat-a-tat-tat beat)
R: Well, what does he stand for?
D: *pause with a look of confusion* He's not Bush! He's not Bush!
R: Okay but what does he stand for?
D: Not what Bush stands for! Not what Bush stands for!
R: Well what the hell is that?
D: *more confusion* He's not Bush! He's not Bush!

I think this simple monologue done hilariously by my father explains everything. People are so determined to get Bush out of the White House that they don't know what Kerry stands for. What does Kerry stand for anyway?

Really, my opinion is that it's great if you want to convert, but I'm not going to make you, and I'm not going to force you to do anything. (Personally, I believe that my religion's right and yours is wrong, but I'm not going to yell at you about how stupid and wrong you are.)



Truly awesome. This is exactly what I believe in. I know that my religion is the right religion, hence why I follow that religion, but I don't feel that I should force someone to convert to my religion. Really as long as you're not bashing or flaming me, I don't give a s**t what you do with your life. I mean who am I to say that you're wrong? This is why I am a libertarian.

CONVERT EVIL ONE! lol. My dad's Lutheran. You're absolutely right, if you didn't think your religion was right, you wouldn't follow it. It just works oh-so-well to try to convert people with fire and brimstone, though. lol. I have to wonder sometimes.

First you are wrong, we didn't go in just for WMDs. Bush has said, even if there wasn't evidence of WMDs, he would have wanted to go in. Saddam was doing terrible things to his people. You may not consider us to be the police of the world, and we shouldn't be. But if someone is bullying people, and we can help, we should. And we did.

Also, there has been evidence of WMDs, just no actual weapons found. And, if you would read my earlier posts, I stated that this was a preemptive strike. Always was, always will be. We had to get in there before he has the weapons, because afterwards it's of little use: He can fire the bombs on us even if we get him in the end, and we lose thousands upon thousands of people who had no chance, not even an M-16 in their hands to use against their attackers. It is about liberating the people in Iraq. Not just about it, but still about it. It is also about keeping ourselves safe. It's the perfect blend: We are thinking of ourselves in getting Saddam before he can get us, and we are thinking of the Iraqi people in getting Saddam before he can do any more to them.

I'M TAKING YOU DOWN, FOO! scream
xp That's my debate starting war cry. Pheer me!

Aside from that nonesence, I definitally don't agree with this. No, you shouldn't be the police of the world, you shouldn't even by the police of one other country in the world, besides your own. There are a lot of leaders a lot worse than Saddam out there, doing a lot worse to their people. I don't see America rushing in to fight the good fight. This would suggest an alernate motive. WMD? Maybe, sure they may have been a bit of evidence that there was WMD HOWEVER the UN went in, did a search and found none.

A hunch that there may be weapons even after it was checked and marked as safe does not constitute war. A fear that they may get weapons afterwards once again does not constitute war. You can't decide that hey, someday those guys might just get WMD let's declare war and assign our own government.

Back to the whole 'world police' thing. Iraq is a different culture than you, this does not make their culture wrong. Yes, Saddam was a horrible man but throughout history there have been horrible rulers, what happened eventually? The population rose up and over threw their leader. Going in and over throwing a leader for them is going to jack all. Their cultural mindset hasn't changed what do you think is going to happen when you leave?

Not to mention 9/11 happened, why? Bin-Laden and his followers don't agree with the American culture and lifestyle, this to them was reason enough to highjack those planes and drive them into the buildings. He thinks he did the right thing by being, so to speak, 'world police'. Did we put up with, or condone what he did? Then why would we put up with or condone the Amercian's invading Iraq?
