...and another thing...
What kind of subhuman clump of detritus attacks the war record of a triple amputee, veteran, bonafide hero?
How can anyone give the administration a free pass on that?
What is the matter with people?

RANT RANT RANT
I just don't understand. Are people blind, stupid, or what?
The present administration has attacked a country pre-emptively in order to ensure a free flow of oil to the pockets of the primary parties in the administration. Anyone who does not acknowledge this is in denial or a fool. Just because hard evidence has not been found does not preclude its existence, now or previously. Circumstantial evidence is overwhelming in this case and would put anyone else away for 900+ life sentences for murder.
Do you feel safer now than you did four years ago? Is the world safer than it was four years ago? Have we aggravated the terrorists enough yet? Have we poked them in the nose sufficiently to really make them mad yet? When will they get fed up and blow up, oh, I dunno, how about Akron? Or Indianapolis? Or Boston? How much more should we "stay the course," when the course is stupid?
The stupidity does not stop with foreign policy either. Is our economy better? Maybe if you were already rich, or a really big business. If you are Mr. or Mrs. Average Worker, not at all. Gee, productivity is up continually. That sure sounds great, except for the subtext: it means people are working longer hours for the same pay! That spiffy new laptop and PalmPhone are really cool - and they keep you chained to the office almost constantly. And you may have two or more of those offices to go to or scrub the floors of or whatever.
People should wake up. Something needs to be done.
