I am getting more and more disgusted every day as I hear news reports telling me I should hate the current administration and George Bush in particular. What is it that President Bush has done? Is it the war? Any other time we've had a war during any presidency the economists have praised the current president. Of course we all know that a war does the economy good. Billions of dollars are spent to keep a war going and this war is by no means an exception. In this modern age we have so much more technology to use to fight a war and that technology costs a fortune. In WWII it was simple to point and shoot whether it was a rifle or a tank. Bombs just dropped straight down and if the bombadier was lucky he hit his target. Today the smart bombs do the work. They have cameras that line up the target and the missles don't quit until they are right on the money. Soldiers wear night vision goggles and can see in the dark. They wear bullet proof clothing and helmets that keep the enemies bullets from having a full impact. All of this costs money, and as long as a war drags on it calls for more and more money to be spent. So why are people mad about that?
Companies in Kansas, Conneticut, South Carolina, California, and Wisconsin are among the fifteen places where M 16 rifles and thir components are manufactured. Another company reports profits of over 80 million dollars since they began to supply the US Army with night vision equipment. Think of how many people are employed and making a living because their products supply the war effort. The billions of dollars that are being spent end up paying the very people that are being told to hate the war and the president. You might be one of those people. Do you really think it would be a smart thing to do to push for an end to a war that pays your bills? Imagine how many other people in this country are being paid in some way for providing either a small part or a major part in the war effort. Maybe you didn't even think of this before. You may just make ink pens or something like that and you never realized that even soldiers have to write things down. Wars make our economy grow.
Maybe the news tells us to hate our country and the president because they have a grander plan. Perhaps they are part of one of those secret societies like the Illuminati that run the nation from the dark background. There are so many conspiracy theories out there that to some people sound like pure trash, but to others sound like the real deal. Would it be so hard to belive that the big three news agencies are all wrapped up in one of these socieities? Maybe they all want us to fall into their spell so we follow thier plan like lemmings once they get everything in place. If you think about it, you never hear any valid reason why we should hate the president. Sure there's the No WMD cheer. Michael Moore led the cheering squad with his movie to get scores of people wondering. "What if he's right?", we all wondered. Both sides of the aisle were in strong support of action in Iraq when it all started. Check the records. Democrats as well as Republicans came out with very strong language to support taking military action. Only now do the Democrats act like they never had anything to do with it. It's in the public records though that they were in support of this thing. Those Dems even went so far as to say the reason was WMD. So why are they all changing their minds now? DO they have a promise of power if this secret society takes over?
Is it really smart that we are allowing acts of sedition to take place on the nightly news? Here is the Wikipedia definition of sedition: Sedition is a deprecated term of law to refer to non-overt conduct such as speech and organization that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often included subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. I see the incitement of discontent every night on the news and in the daily newspapers. Why this outcry against our president and his administration? Is there a concerted effort to bring our nation to it's knees? I don't think I ever heard so much talk about the president's "approval rating" during any other president's administration. It's parroted every day in the media as if it was the most important fact of our lives. Why is that so important anyway if it can be easily manipulated by the reporting of the "news"? What are they trying to do? Why do they have so much power over people's minds?
I've heard that the war we're in was all because of our desire to control oil flowing from the Mid-East. The current rise in oil prices is all the fault of George Bush if you listen to the media. Forget the fact that after many years of doing nothing but being poor, many of a couple billion Chinese people are finally driving cars. I don't suppose their newfound need for gasoline would have a single thing to do with increased fuel consumption. Places that never had roads suddenly have not only roads, but car lots, gas stations, car washes, and millions of drivers. Back when these people didn't have cars or drive them there was plenty of gas available. It stands to reason that if you add a couple million and maybe a half billion new consumers, that available gas is no longer as available as it used to be. Suppliers can no longer keep up with demand once those extra consumers ahve come along, so it makes perfect sense that prices go up. How in the hell is George Bush responsible for that? Do you buy tons of cheaply made Chinese products every day? Seems to me you are the cause of the raise in gas prices. You've paid those former poor Chinese people and now they can afford to buy cars and gasoline to run those cars. If you didn't buy those cheap trinkets they would still be poor and wouldn't need any gas. The prices would remain low and plenty would be available. But of course if the news media tells you it's George Bush's fault, you believe them.
Finally we get to the illegal alien situation. In your own private groups you bitch and complain about "those damn illegals" taking jobs and weakening our economy. If you're a Democrat you may even be a loyal unionist and "by God we can't let those people take jobs away from Americans" is what you would be thinking. But if the news media makes you believe that George Bush and his administration are being mean and cold hearted by hating immigrants, particularly hispanics, then all of that goes away and suddenly it's fine for illegal aliens to enter our country. Understand the word "illegal" according to Wikipedia: Illegal, or unlawful, describes that which is either prohibited or not authorized by law. In general, conduct is made illegal by statute, rule, or regulation. There are laws in place that make it illegal for people to enter this country without following those very laws. Just because an illegal alien has been here for a while does not mean they are exempt from the law. I am sick and tired of people saying, "They take jobs that nobody else will do." That's the most ridiculous argument in existence. The menial jobs that are taken by illegal aliens are the result of somone taking advantage of these people. Rather than pay a decent wage to someone who would be willing to accept the job, the employer demeans an illegal alien by paying him minimal wages. These employers are the biggest supporters of keeping things the way they are. They would rather hire a couple illegals at a couple dollars an hour than pay someone else a decent wage and medical insurance. The employer saves a lot of money, thereby pocketing a lot more money. Wake up and smell the coffee folks. Those moneymakers are the loudest voice behind the protests.
Welcome to all of the immigrants who come to this great country by following the laws and who seek citizenship. If on the other hand you are here illegally, then you have nothing to be upset about. You have broken the law. If the government makes it possible for you to become citizens legally then please take advantage of it. But you will quickly realize that those guys who are happy to hire you now and pay you meager wages will throw you out in a heartbeat once you have become a legal tax paying American. In the end, don't blame President Bush for the borders closing. Blame terrorists who would cross those borders too easily in order to kill Americans. The laws considering immigration were not made to piss off people who broke the law and then thopught they should automatically be considered legal citizens. They were made to keep people from entering our country illegally. That's all there is to it. Enter legally and you have no problems.
In the name of "supporting" immigrants these people who are calling upon Americans to hate their president are now asking us to leave our jobs on May 1, commonly known as May Day in communist countries, to come together in protest. The aim of this protest is supposedly going to "close down America" for a day as everyone will walk away from their jobs and basically just stop living for the day to prove that sending illegal immigrants back to their own countries is wrong. Forget the fact that they have all broken federal laws and committed a felony. These fools believe that everybody is going to not buy anything from any store, or buy gas from any gas station, or even go to school.Doing this is supposed to increase our awareness that there are 11 million immigrants who are here illegally and will be sent away. I think the idea was hatched with the belief that without illegal immigrants, none of these jobs could be done. How in the hell do they believe that 11 million illegals make this country run? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I can understand that many places are filled in by very hard working immigrants, but to think that the nation could not function without these 11 million is totally insane. I'm afraid to say that anyone who falls for this nonsense and gives up their own life for the one day with the belief that it will have any positive effect is crazy. We are a nation of over 295 million people. To truly believe that the entire nation would cease to be able to operate without the 11 million illegals is beyond insane. The people represented are appreciated, but to use those immigrants as pawns in their war to degrade this president and this nation is much worse than sedition, it's betrayal.
