You know, Ive been on these boards for a little over a year now. I've watched left bash right, right bash left, and I'll admit, I've chimed in a time or two myself. I'm sure it makes all of you feel a little bit better to vent your ideologies (sp) on the other side.
I could be wrong ( I have been before) but I don't think we're solving anything here. We're just ranting.
Everyone thinks their opinion is best for the country.
Personally, I don't agree with where the current administration is taking this country, but I wasn't that crazy about the previous administration's choices either. I was okay with the Iraq war, even though they seemed to have had some bad intel. It's my humble opinion that it kept our asses safe from further attacks. I was a Marine in Viet-Nam in 67-68, got the right side of my face shot off, and I didn't have a clue why I was there. I kind of thought I was fighting for our country's right to freedom. When I came back from NAM, I saw the likes of Jane Fonda and John Kerry, protesting against that war. I can't describe how that made me feel. I never gave politics much thought before then, but when I saw what Kerry did, and said, it set my political bias toward the right. I don't know if the "swift-boaters" were right or wrong in their allegations. It is obvious, in my opinion, if this person served in the Armed Forces, in any capacity, and then came back and made the statements he did, he is nothing short of a coward and a traitor.
I would love to meet him and call him that to his face It is a blessing (IMHO)that he didn't win the election.
I'm sorry that I have digressed so deeply into the
above, but I am deeply concerned about the direction in which this country is headed. I did not support, nor vote for Obama, but I thought he had some decent ideas. I can't find one thing that he's done to help this country. This administration is plunging this country into the depths of socialism. This country is going to "Hell in a handbasket". I don't totally blame Obama. I don't think he's in charge. This country is being controlled by his minions. Has anyone taken a look at his "green jobs czar- Van Jones"? What a fricken joke this numbnuts is.
My apologies for this long post. Just felt the need to vent tonight.
