Alice Cooper Speaks Out Against John Kerry Rockers
I didn’t know that Alice Cooper was a conservative until finding this article the Canoe Entertainment Network quotes Alice Cooper:
“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.”
Alice Cooper also reportedly said “when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn’t already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that’s a good reason right there to vote for Bush.”
I’ll stick with Cooper’s wisdom, but the article also mentions that Britney Spears is a Republican.

Try As They Might, the Left Can’t Win

August 22, 2004
John Kerry, Reporting for Duty
Portraying himself as a strong military leader, John Kerry shamelessly underscored his four months of Vietnam service as the centerpiece of his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, omitting his twenty plus years as a liberal senator from Massachusetts. Kerry won’t stand on his political record because American’s would reject him if they knew the real John Kerry.
By focusing the spotlight on his military experience, Kerry has rendered his Vietnam service fair game for debate. Predictably, the mainstream media is outraged that anyone would dare to attack John Kerry’s Vietnam record. (Of course, Bush’s military record was, is, and will be fair game – even though the media chooses to ignore the facts.)
The Hypocritical Liberal Assault
Faster than you can say Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the Kerry campaign filed a legal complaint against SBVT for “violating the law with inaccurate ads that are illegally coordinated with the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign.” Keep in mind this was a modestly funded ad campaign, somewhere in the neighborhood of $400k.
Meanwhile, President Bush was himself the target of $62 million (and counting) of negative advertising by the so-called “527″ organizations — tax-exempt organizations that engage in political activities. Liberal 527 groups outspend those favoring Bush by a 25 to 1 ratio. MoveOn.org, the most notorius of the 527 groups, has been airing offensive anti-Bush ads for over a year, even stooping so low as to comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler. These people have no respect for the office of the presidency. I guess they figure it was sufficiently soiled during the Clinton years.
Moore Money Than You Can Shake a Stick At
The liberal sewage has seeped into every nook and cranny of popular culture, the big screen being no exception. In perhaps the most walloping attack in the history of politics, President Bush was the bull’s eye of Michael Moore’s mammoth propagandist film “Farenheit 911″. To date, this work of fiction has grossed over $115 million in ticket sales. Even if you didn’t see the movie, it was hard to miss the message with the 24/7 attention it received in the press. This piece of trash still has legs with it’s eventual DVD release — the Democrats October Suprise. Armed with Farenheit’s conspiracy theories, its fair to assume that a large swath of the anti-Bush crowd is brainwashed with Moore’s misinformation. You would think that the relentless liberal onslaught would drag Bush’s ratings far below fifty percent in the election polls, but you’ve got to fool a lot of people to get a dud like Kerry elected.
Choose a Loser
Encouraging the most easily manipulated voters, freshly indoctrinated from our public schools, MTV pushes the “Choose or Lose” voter registration drive onto gullible MTV viewers — the very same minds that put a no-talent singer like Ashely Simpson on top of the charts. Touted as non-partisan, the anti-Bush, pro-Kerry sentiment is blatant. Then there is “Rock the Vote“, music mogul Russell Simmons outreach to the hip hop community. Plenty of Republican voters in that group. Not. And more recently, Bruce Springsteen, REM, Pearl Jam, the Dixie Chicks and other misguided rockers kicked off the “Vote to Change” tour. Reminds me of a Dean supporter I saw on C-Span whom, when asked by a reporter “Why Howard Dean?”, the twenty something female replied “Why not Howard Dean?” Pure brilliance. One only hopes that these MTV kiddies stay home on election day and play-vote on the Total Request Live show.
Save a Tree
And let’s not forget the barrage of anti-Bush books, a cottage industry in and of itself. Many titles enjoyed wide exposure via CBSs “60 Minutes (of Bush Bashing)” and gushing reviews from the New York Times. “I’ve never seen anything like this, in terms of the volume and energy of books attacking a sitting president in an election year,” says Jeff Zaleski, an editor at Publishers Weekly. So many anti-Bush books, Barnes and Noble has a special section devoted to the genre. If liberals take control and we go back to the days of book burning, I know just the spot to pour the gas and light the match.
Dividing America
The left is fond of accusing President Bush of being a devisive president. Any intellectually honest person knows the stark partisan split was a deliberate campaign by left-wing whackos and a desperate Democratic Party. Here’s a small sample of Bush-hating quotes from our esteemed Washington leaders:
That’s the kind of sensational rhetoric I would expect from a tabloid. Talk about dividing the isle. But, is Bush really that bad? Put yourself in the Democrats shoes and see things as they see it. They lost majority of the House, Senate, Judicial and Executive branch. Sans Slick Willy, the Democratic Party is frantic and will do or say anything to take back the White House.
Add It Up
MoveOn.org, Micheal Moore, biased voter registration drives, never ending Democrat bitterness, media bias — I could get Elmer Fudd elected as president with that kind of backing. Yet, here we are just two months away from election day and it’s still a horse race. The stakes are high folks. Let’s send a clear message to George Soro’s and the liberal elite by electing George W. Bush in 2004.

I don’t know who you are, draco, but right on! Kerry is an idiot who says he has beliefs, but I know he doesn’t. George Bush has his beliefs, and unlike some people, I want a president who will stand by his belief and his faith, not some guy who changes his opinion every time he makes a speech. “I was for this before I was against it!” Oh, my gosh, people! Wake up! Don’t you see the lies he’s hand- feeding you. Don’t let what some celebrity does affect how you think, even if they are pro- Bush. Use your mind!

If the world truly hates us, it surely hasn’t slowed the immigration process- in fact, it’s increasing exponentially.
I’ll tell you why, draco! Because we’re the best nation on the Earth right now, with the greatest economy and the greatest set of freedoms ever accomplished anywhere in the world.
I’d like to see the people who say that our economy sucks and that we have more poor people than ever before live in Haiti for a month or so. That would turn those idiots around. Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, if not the Earth. They live in mud hovels, if that, and they cannot afford school supplies or to pay their teachers – they work without pay, when there is a school in the town. The schools are run by the church, usually, to which the people give the majority of their income. Might I remind everyone of the poor woman in the church who gives the silver and copper piece?
I don’t care if that didn’t make sense, it just really pisses me off when people complain about our economy being “piss poor” when there are countries like Haiti.

I am wealthy, making over 100k each year. That’s quite beside the point though, since plenty of people who are poor support Bush.
I haven’t lost my job, the only jobs we are losing are manufacturing jobs. Even though people might be losing their jobs now, when the next generation comes of age theirs will be an age of prosperity. They will be required to be technological to get along in the world and will, therefore, receive higher-paying jobs.
Who lost their family? That doesn’t even make any sense.
You listen to Michael Moore more than is healthy for anyone who wants to argue actual politics rather than Mooreisms. Do you think that, considering that he needs his supporters to be President, that he would care about, of all things, Saudi princes, more than the people who put him into office.
J, I agree with you about Blazebattler, but people like him are a minority and I don’t think that the party of the wealthy white guy (so called) needs an intelligent face. Remember, we’re the ones with the jobs and the money, as the liberal definition goes.

Manufacturing? Nice try. Millions of jobs are being outsourced to foreign contries (like computer marketing jobs–not ‘factory’ jobs) and are being given tax cuts because of it.

Michael Moore, while didactic and obnoxious at times, does in fact know what hes talking about.
Serbian National Says: October 29th, 2004 at 2:45 am
Here, look at it this way – the tax cuts the companies receive for outsourcing lowers their prices, and benefits us due to lower prices. Also, this benefits the world’s economy, not just ours, which in turn does in fact benefit our economy.

Kerry would subjugate our nation’s defense to the corrupt United Nations, the same UN that charged, limp-wristed for a dozen years resolution by ill-fated resolution, after Sadaam Hussein, and the same UN that climbed in bed with him to defraud the “Oil for Food” program.
I just cannot vote for a person who admittedly hates the military and yet would be their Commander-in-Chief. I cannot vote for a VietCONG war hero and collaborator. I cannot vote for a dolt who would twist the meaning of our President’s words that the major offensive in Iraq had ended succesfully and to our great credit, when he announced,”Mission Accomplished”. Your leader is no leader at all, but a siver-tounged, slash and burn artist who continues to misrepresent your party on many sides of every issue. Get a fresh thought and follow through with the demise of the party! Vote on Tuesday for Freedom for all Humanity, here and around the world.
Bush has made mistakes, but he has never gotten a BJ in the Oval Office. How do I know? Sometimes you just KNOW! He may splinter the english language on occasion, but his message is clear and consistent that all mankind deserves the freedom to make his or her own way in the world. Your so called 13 trillion dollar surplus was derived from the same math that got Gray Davis recalled in the great state of California. It was not as robust as the Clinton adminstration reported it, but then we never expected the truth from them, anyway, just cynicism and devisiveness. I was a pure democrat until the debauchery inflicted by the democratic party on the 2000 election. My eyes became open to the corruption of the party and their puppeteering of the biased media. There are so many good people in the Democratic party, why can’t the Clintons just go away and let the party heal itself?????
Tricia Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 3:33 pm
If only 10% of the facts presented in Fahrenheit 9/11 are accurate it still remains fundamental questions about both agenda and competency of this administration. These questions are further borne out buy the global position the US finds itself in these days, the current state of the economy, the death of over 1000 soldiers and 100 000 Iraqi’s in a war that is generally accepted as unnecessary and the fact the Osama Bin Laden is still free and able to get air time whenever he chooses.
JD Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 4:17 pm
You see Tricia the problem with propaganda is that it is propaganda. It is aimed not at opponents but those that are already predisposed to believe it’s message. When you say “if only 10% is true…” you are saying you know it is false but, so what? It is what I want to believe. Then you set out a litany of generalities to try to bolster your beliefs. Real critical thinking is inductive. You look at the facts and reach a conclusion. You don’t watch propaganda and say “right on”. As good as that feels.

Tricia Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 8:08 pm
Ok JD, clearly with your inductive powers you were able to see through the propoganda linking Sadam to 9/11 from day one, that sterling powerpoint presentation of Powell’s surely couldn’t have passed as fact to your inquiring mind as such voting for GWB after such a poor attempt to con you must make voting for him a fairly difficult thing to do?
Tricia Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 8:35 pm
My “if only 10%..” should not be construed to mean that I choose to believe the facts presented or not, only that the film should at the least cause one to question many of the activities of this administration before simply accepting these activities and their explanations. Surely, you must see that to effectively participate in the democratic process it is critical to question government or are you of the belief that that is “un-patriotic”….
JD Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 9:30 pm

Tricia Says: November 2nd, 2004 at 11:08 pm
The fact that you really believe that astounds me as you come across as fairly intelligent. We had no fly zones over two thirds of Iraq btw 1991 and 2003, we regularly bombed anything that looked vaguely suspicious, we knew he had destroyed most if not all of his WMD’s in 1991, there were weapons inspectors in there until 1998 and re-entered in late 2002, Hans Blix reported repeatedly that he had not found WMD or indication thereof (of course you probably believe this was some elaborate conspiracy initiated by the Europeans), all the intelligence agency’s agreed that they had no real intelligence and did not believe that Iraq posed an imminent threat. All of this has been borne out in post invasion Iraq. Yet your candidate says that he take the exact same action knowing what he now knows. Surely you have to at least question that! Someone here is not thinking for themselves, but it isn’t me.

Shying away from the fact that your candidate claims he would do nothing differently even with hindsight? George Tenet, every republicans favourite scapegoat. In retrospect a chat with Chirac may have just been worthwhile, he doesn’t have 140 000 troops in Iraq nor has he spent 2bn dollars on an unnecessary war. I have tried to understand this irrational xenophobia that republicans are bathed in, but can’t make sense of it. Clearly Ferguson is not inconsequential to you, you raise him at every opportunity. Not sure about the young age thing, whatever it takes to make you feel better about your bizarre & blind support of GBW.
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 12:17 am
Trisha, that wingnut Ferguson has it partly right. I have faith, but not just in Bush. I have faith in the truth. I believe enough has been said, enough investigations have been done and the information is there to support this administration. I know that Colin Powell, Condy Rice, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld are outstanding people of unquestionable character. And I know it takes a strong leader confident in his own abilities to have such strong people working for him. So good luck with your Kerry Presidency if he wins because you won’t see anything like these people in place in the White House. A weak leader, unsure of his own ability, always hires people less than himself. That is what you will get.
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 12:21 am
Truth is I like Ferguson I just think he is misguided.
Tricia Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 12:33 am
“I know that Colin Powell, Condy Rice, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld are outstanding people of unquestionable character.” You see it is that “unquestionable” attitude that I find so odd, especially since you don’t come across like the average republican on this blog.
“So good luck with your Kerry Presidency if he wins because you won’t see anything like these people in place in the White House”.
Another excellent reason not to vote for GWB.
Still dodging the hindsight thing. Don’t blame you it is difficult to find an intelligent explanation!
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:07 am
Trisha, character is different things in different people but you know it when you see it. Liberals like to think that either it doesn’t exist or doesn’t matter. But it does. It showed in the Clinton, Nixon administrations and it will show here. I hope you liberals are right about Kerry and we are wrong but I don’t see it.
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:13 am
You see I am a conservative. I am not a Republican. To the extent that Republicans reflect my values I will vote for them. But I like gridlock. I like the balance of power. We have seen what happens when one party has all three branches of power. I am not dreading a Kerry presidency because domestically he will be impotent. But as commander in chief he is frightening.
Tricia Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:25 am
I beg to differ, character is extremely important, I simply have to disagree with you that the character of these people is unquestionable. I could go into a tirade about the questionable relationships these people have with companies profiting massively from the war, but I have no doubt that you already know this. The character of GWB is somewhat disturbing, this is a secretive president who was not in favor of any of those investigations you previously mentioned, he seems unwillingly to accept new facts and adjust accordingly. I think you confuse that with strength rather than arrogance and ignorance. The fact the he sees the world in such black & white terms and does not acknowledge the greys that exist is alarming. Cheney refuses to accept facts that do not suit his view of the world (a charge you keep levelling at those that don’t support this administration), this man voted to keep Nelson Mandela in prison in the ’80’s because he was a terrorist – clearly a questionable if not absurd stand. This campaign has been run on fear, frightening people into voting for you is not an admirable quality. GWB’s disregard for the international community cannot be seen by any rational person as a positive. The character of this administration is extremely questionable, their motives and agenda’s are suspicious and by-en-large not in favor of the average worker in the US.
Tricia Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:33 am
In addition, if one considers the damage to International relations during the past four years, the fact that GWB’s policies have left roughly 125 000 dead (mostly civilians), the insidious encroachment on civil liberties, detention without trial (a favorite tactic in apartheid south africa) the legal limbo of Guantanamou bay and the complete disregard for International law, can you imagine how much he can destroy in the next four especially since he will no longer be restrained by re-election considerations. Frightening!
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 3:32 am
Oh, Tricia, I am sorry but you are woefully misinformed. I could take it piece by piece but, frankly I am bored with this game. Suffice to say I think you need to get some information that isn’t stamped by Terry Mcauliffe and the DNC. Your litany of complaints reads like the script for Michael Moores next movie and has no basis in reality. Sorry but the truth is out there you obviuously haven’t been looking in the right place or just don’t care.
Tricia Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 10:56 am
JD, won’t you please explain how your gridlock theory is going to work if GWB wins, which is looking increasingly likely. If you have a republican white house, senate and congress surely the checks and balances fundamental to your gridlock are negated?
JD Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:44 pm
Tricia, no gridlock this time around and yes, I am uncomfortable with it. These Republicans have the power, now they have to show they have the courage to cut spending and balance the budget. Deficit spending during a recession is not necessarily bad but now is the time to stop the bleeding.
Jonathan Ferguson Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 1:58 pm
NOW he has second thoughts. Of COURSE they’re not going to cut spending and balance the budget. Did you miss the part in the debate when Kerry said ‘I favor the ‘pay-as-you-go’ budget rules we had in the 90’s’ and Bush declined to endorse them?
I don’t know how many idiotic newspaper endorsements for Bush I read saying similar things. ‘We hope he’s going to govern as a compassionate conservative this time.’ ‘We hope he’s going to be fiscally conservative this time.’ ‘We hope he’s not going to invade countries on a whim this time.’ ‘We hope he’s not going to lose a million jobs this time.’ ‘We hope he’s not going to expose any more CIA operatives this time.’
Keep on hoping. I hope I win the lottery.

Anyway, this political junkie has more important things to concern himself with now that the election is over. It was nice meeting you all. Take care.

Good luck with the lottery!

Ferguson I said I wasn’t going to talk to you anymore but I can’t help it. I have always said Bush was not fiscally disiplined. And it is amazing to me that liberals like you think we should sell out Israel. It is the only true democracy in the middle east. An Arab living in Israel has more rights than anywhere else in the middle east. The Palestinians will have a homeland in the future because of Israel, not in spite of it. And there is no oil there, so why the hell do you paranoid, Al Franken, Michael Moore brained dimwits think we support them? Because it is the right thing to do. And that is something you liberals just can’t grasp. The right thing to do.
Serbian National Says: November 3rd, 2004 at 5:44 pm
Fergy, I can’t help but disagree with your opinions, but I respect them. When you lie outright, however, that is going to far. How can you blame Bush for something that the man’s wife did? Bush was in no way involved in that incident.
John Says: November 4th, 2004 at 5:34 am
Moore Is a anti american bum,he should be exported out of this country. John Kerry allows him to attend the Dem. covention. Kerry how stupid can you be, you stupid liberal.
Rick Says: November 4th, 2004 at 5:27 pm
Please, stop trying to educate liberals. They don’t, or rather won’t get it. Good. Let them keep their opinions, and keep racking up lost elections. Perfect.
Rick Says: November 4th, 2004 at 5:36 pm
Oh, and please don’t kick Michael Moore or any of the propagandists out of the country. We owe him, Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., the Dixie chicks, Ashton Kutcher, Ben Afleck, Whoopie Goldberg, Miramax Pictures and CBS News our sincere gratitude for helping to re-elect Our President. Gracias, Muchos Muchos Gracias!!
Winner, not Whiner Says: November 4th, 2004 at 5:42 pm
Please don’t send Michael Moore out of the country. We might need him in four more years to help elect the next Republican president. And Bruce, Whoopie, the Dixie chicks, Ashton, Ben, R.E.M., Bon Jovi, etc.

What’s the problem with these liberal democrat’s with national security? I am from New Jersey and our governor is gay. He’s gives his gay lover a job in charge of homeland security in the state of New Jersey. Couldn’t he just give a him a kiss and a dozen roses. After all his lover is not even a U.S citizen. A little dangerous for this state I would think. What’s your opinion I would like to know?

Just out of curiosity, how many of you “patriots” are active service military? I’d be willing to bet you”re a bunch of chickenhawks. Your leaders are draft-dodging hypocrites, are you?

Stephen Says: November 4th, 2004 at 10:17 pm
bob, How bout fightin if your in the military? There is a big misconception among demo’s that the job of soldiers is to be protected… that’s kind of backwards don’t you think? You shouldn’t have signed up if you didn’t want to fight for the protection of America. Go back to your intellectually arrogant party and cry.
Anonymous Says: November 5th, 2004 at 12:07 am
stephen,
soldiers sign up to defend the constitution, to defend our country against all foes. Iraq was no threat to our country, bush’s lies have been exposed, even if he continues to repeat them. If there is any justice, bush will be lying about the draft, you will be called up to do your “duty” and you will lose your legs in an un-armoured humvee that gets rpg’d.

You lib’s here in the States freakin worship those sick-lookin, dirty-*ss, snooty-cheese-stinkin, amoral panty waist limpwrists over in Europe while they look down on you and consider you to be just another stupid american and say as much through their media spin doctors all the time! You people want to question the motives of this goverment then thats fine but why is it you never raise an eyebrow or have a 2nd thought about the things Clinton, Gore, Sharpton, Jackson, Dashchel, T. Kennedy (list of crooked lib-politicos cont.’s ad-nauseum) have been proven to be involded if not utterly guilty of? Dont bother asking me what those cases are since anyone who has truley been paying attention to recent politic’s as you people here claim to have been should know immedialty what I’m refering too. And thats just the politicians I’m talking about.. the hollywood wing of these socialist/communist’s gets far faarr worse.. what about them, huh? If you liberals that are here trying to bash Bush really cared about the truth then you would take a real hard an OBJECTIVE(NON-PARTISAN) look at your own party and yourselves and then reconsider your opinions. I dont see how any of you could dare to claim to be honest and fair while still supporting all of the disgusting slander, outright lies and complete propagandist nonsense that the democratic party has spewing out since this campaign began(actually far before that if you wanna start with the mother of all lies.. Roe v. Wade)
Winner, not Whiner Says: November 7th, 2004 at 7:40 pm
Interesting how the fair minded liberals are so willing to point out that President Bush didn’t go to vietnam and instead served in the National Guard…. but were completly willing to ignore the fact that Clinton not only dodged the draft, but went to Europe to participate in anti war protests against his country and practice “not inhaling”.
U.S. Citizen Says: November 19th, 2004 at 2:23 am
When ever anyone is in an argumaent as to how much the rest of the world hates us, try and remember that the word “Hate” used to be “Envy”. Yes, the rest of the world Envy’s the United States bounty of Food and Wealth, and wishes that they lived in a country just like ours, but they cannot, I wish they could. World Envy of us breeds all sorts of ill feelings of the United States, and it seems no one remembers that the United States Feeds and Clothes the World, and how much good is really here in the U.S. . Only here can anyone, I mean anyone (Don King?) become King or Queen in their own right. I will never know why so many wealthy Hollywood Movie/Rock Stars want to take away more and more of the common man’s liberties. Is it possible they are really Elitist’s?, using the money that we fans shell out for their Songs and Movies, and using the very Liberal Media ( http://www.cmpa.com ) to enslave us into their Communist Ideals? I don’t know, I don’t have all of the answers, but Please don’t allow the Bitter and Hateful to destroy us. Please.

Jeff Says: January 30th, 2005 at 11:51 am
I’m absolutely entertained by both sides of the argument here, especially by those who try to sound tough and all while they also try to simulataneously speak logic. I just want to say that I live overseas, and all I hear is anti-Bush rhetoric. Trust me, I have no love for either of the former candidates. I think Bush is far to rash and gung-ho, as well as discriminatory and Kerry was to wishy washy to be much of a leader. I would like to point out, though, that when 9-11 happened, I didn’t hear a single word uttered that was even close to “America sucks”. Now, all I’m faced with is ridicule for being American. I’m proud of my nation, I’m proud of all our boys (and girls) in uniform (with the exception of Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and Bush when he tries to pretend he did his duty in the Texan national guard). But how can I stay proud of my nation when all Bush’s war on terror has served to do is make me terrefied of pulling my Passport out wherever I end up taking a vacation? How can I say I’m proud of my nation when my government intentionally tried to mislead the world? People who say international community go to hell, wake up. We aren’t living in 1919 Wilson era anymore. America is the best right now, yes, but we can be a whole lot better if we work with the world. At least we won’t have to keep watching and hearing reports of our people getting killed in Iraq and by some terrorist outfit somewhere in the world. I’m not saying that we be “the UN’s bitch”. No. I’m saying that we work collaboratively instead of confrontationally. Oh, and by the way, I can assure you the media is NOT liberal, and especially not communist. Trust me, try the Chinese media. THAT is communist. Try the DPRK media. THAT is communist. Not CNN, not NBC, not CBS, not ABC. Being international is not the same as being the “bitch” of the international community. We all live on the same world, we can’t be isolationist.
Sean Says: January 30th, 2005 at 8:11 pm
Jeff,
I have no Idea WHAT THE HELL YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT! You’re all over the map. North, South, East, West…..first you say you love the America then you bash the War on Terror. First you say you live overseas, and then you say you live here and you are proud of this country. You say you didn’t like either candidate, and cited different reasons, but let me ask you…Who did you vote for..I’ll bet it was Kerry.
First off, you must have been wearing blinders after 9/11, because there were plenty of people saying, “America sucks” (as you so intelligently put it). For example, there were hundreds of Palestineans dancing in the streets and celebrating in the wake of 9/11. There are even people in this country who tried and are still trying to make the case that America quote “Got what we deserved.” on 9/11. The most recent is a head college professor in Denver, Colorado at a major University. He’s released a book saying that the victims of 9/11 were not Innocent! He’s said that we got everything we deserved and that we deserve more! What would you call this?
You claim that you are “proud” of all our boys and girls in uniform (I also noticed that you didn’t have the respect for them to call them Men and Women); however, you don’t seem to be proud of what they’re fighting for. You don’t seem to be proud that we are liberating the people of Iraq and changing the face of the Middle East by spreading freedom. This is something that ONLY the Bush administration has succeded in.
You say you are terrified to pull out your Passport wherever you end up taking a vacation. Why is that….Do you have something to hide?
By the way you said that we aren’t living in 1919 anymore under the Wilson era. Funny you mentioned that; Woodrow Wilson spearheaded the first World War to put an end to the first axis of evil, and you say that we need to pay attention to the international community. Let me ask you something….”DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?”. You say we can’t be isolationists, and to prove that you cite a president who sent our Men overseas to fight for Europe to end the first World War.
Final point, and I’m going to try to make this quick ’cause I tired of waisting my time on you, You say the media isn’t liberal. This, in and of itself, displays that you have no clue what you are talking about. What do you call Dan Rather and CBS using forged documents to try to change the outcome of the election in ‘04. What do you call the majority of the media, that’s right ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and the rest, posting up every body and act of violence that they can find and not giving one single minute of airtime to the rest of what’s happening in the other 80% of the country that is under control. What do you call the media notifying the American people everytime there was a soldiers death, and saying spinning it like it was in vein because Iraq is a Quagmire and our military is only occupiers INSTEAD OF LIBERATORS! You have absolutely no clue what a skewed media is.
You are the same type of European, socialist appeaser that tried to deal with Hitler by appeasement. You think that we should just turn a blind eye to Evil tyrants, and…”If we just be nice to them…and and.. show them that they are our friends….and…and…that we mean them no harm….that…that they’ll leave us alone and everything will be ok….Ahhhh”.
Rob Says: January 31st, 2005 at 12:02 am
If I didn’t already think it before, I am now confirmed in my belief that Sean is delusional. He is a like a frigthened little boy who sees fear and danger under every rock and lashes out at it with violence as a way to conceal his own insecurity.
The American experiment is coming to an end, and that end is as a paranoid, violent people slowly losing credibility in the world as they try to use violence and agression to solve all their problems. Sean is the poster boy of that America… Will another version of the ending prevail?
Bonniem Says: January 31st, 2005 at 12:28 am
Well, Jeff, some people are ashamed of our nation and some in our nation are ashamed of some who have come from our nation.
Bonniem Says: January 31st, 2005 at 5:09 am
Sean, It seems there are some people who just can’t come up with any solutions, or win any elections, so they just spend their time criticizing. They just can’t accept that more people agree with Our Presidents policies than with The Democrats policy of being negative, no solutions, whine, whine, whine!!!! Kerry and Kennedy need to go somewhere and grow a beard. Never realized that Gore set such a good example, until now.

Reply:
Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God
———————————————————-
How did this get started?…
—————–
Let’s see,
I think it started when Madeline Murray O’Hare complained
she didn’t want any prayer in our schools.
And we said, OK.
- —————–
Then, someone said you better not
read the Bible in school,
the Bible that says
“thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbors as yourself,”
And we said, OK…
—————–
Dr. Benjamin Spock said
we shouldn’t spank our children
when they misbehaved
because their little personalities
would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.
And we said,
an expert should know what he’s talking about
so we won’t spank them anymore..
——————
Then someone said
teachers and principals better not
discipline our children when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said
no faculty member in this school
better touch a student when they misbehave
because we don’t want any bad publicity,
and we surely don’t want to be sued.
And we accepted their reasoning…
——————
Then someone said,
let’s let our daughters have abortions if they want,
and they won’t even have to tell their parents.
And we said, that’s a grand idea…
——————
Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys
and they’re going to do it anyway,
let’s give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the fun they desire,
and we won’t have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said, that’s another great idea…
——————
Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn’t matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said,
it doesn’t matter what anybody, including the President,
does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good….
—————– -
And someone else took that appreciation a step further
and published pictures of nude children
and then stepped further still by
making them available on the Internet.
And we said, everyone’s entitled to free speech….
——————
And the entertainment industry said,
let’s make TV shows and movies that promote
profanity, violence and illicit sex…
And let’s record music that encourages
rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes…
And we said,
it’s just entertainment
and it has no adverse effect
and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead.
——————
Now we’re asking ourselves
why our children have no conscience,
why they don’t know right from wrong,
and why it doesn’t bother them to
kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.
——————
Undoubtedly,
if we thought about it long and hard enough,
we could figure it out.
I’m sure it has a great deal to do with…
“WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.”
