What freedoms have I lost
1. half the world hates us now and we have more emenys than ever.
2. Slowy but surely the courts-with the jugdes Bushie pick-are going to ban a womens right to decide if she like to keep her baby or not. Even though I am a guy its going to change my life
3. tThe police-once agian thanks to the jugdes he picked-have more power than ever. Now they need not even to knock on your door if they have a warrent-which is getting easyer and easer for them to get now-the police can just bust right in your house not even wait 5 seconds.
4. I can not fly as easy as before-ok I do know why, but why did it take 9/11 to get locks put on cockpit doors. And maybe if he was not on a month long vaction 7 months on the job 9/11 might have been stop before hand.
5. What about all the thousands of women and children thought out the middle east who are now dead thanks to Bush and the needless wars.
6. Health care keeps going way up same with gas so I have less money to spend and Bush has no plans to try to change it at all.
All he wants is more tax cuts for the super rich and big business
Look I do not want to fight and hope this thread dies tonight or soon after. I am sure we could get this way out of hand so I hope and ask that it will not.
1. Agreed, but thats not a freedom. They hate us because we are the only world power left, and they sure aren't going to blame themselves for thier problems. We have some of the lowest unemployment rates and highest per capita income in the world. Of course they hate us.
2. You complain about killing babies in Iraq in point #5, but you want to kill your own? Nice! Plus, it hasn't happened yet and probably won't.
3. If your a suspected terrorist, a no-knock warrant can be issued but it still must state what they are looking for. In the "Good old days" Japanese American Citizens were dragged out of thier house and put in "Internment Camps". Who was president? Franklin Delenor Rosevelt, a Democrat. No freedom lost unless you are, of course, a terrorist.
4. What does this have to do with Bush? You and everyone else is being searched because of terrosists, not the president. They may or may not have been stopped if Clinton did his job, if you prefer hindsight. Don't forget, Democrats voted to prevent pilots from having weapons in the cockpit and the airlines could have installed locks on cockpit doors at anytime.
5. Again, not a freedom. But the freedom we have is not free. What of the dead English (Revolutionary War), dead Germans (men, women & children) in the carpet bombings of Dresden in WWII? Dead Japanese, again, men women and children? More people were killed in 911 than the attack on pearl harbor. What about their children?
6. Health care is not a freedom or a right, nor are tax cuts for the wealthy, if thats even true. I remember when I just paid to get done what I needed done. Blame HMO's and the socialization of health care for high prices. Ask Cerwin what he pays in taxes. Don't forget, the wealthy are in a 50% tax bracket. How would you feel if you had a successful shop that you busted your butt to grow and create jobs, your pulling in $150k, and your only taking home half that? Wealthy is a relative term.
So, that being said. I respect your opinion and your ability to voice it, hard won by our military. You mention you don't want to pick a fight, but when you call "our" president names, youv'e got to expect a reaction.
OK, I feel much better now! Now, out to the garage to fabricate a bracket for my electric fuel pump!
