I prefer the high horse. I see much clearer that way. The rest of the 'joes'? You mean the famous 28%? Or are you talking about those who have fought in Iraq? Like these people...

I am alittle surprised by your comment, in two years have you not discovered that am against the government? Of course I am. Its corrupt, it dishonest, its incompetent, its dangerous, and its run by the worst types of extremists imaginable. Your right the system is not benefiting me, but its not benefiting anybody but the few very well placed individuals at the top of the food chain.
We are way past Liberal vs Conservative or Republican vs Democrat. You've probably guessed I lean left.
But I would glad put in the WH, a honest hardcore conservative who respects the constitution than a dishonest liberal who doesn't. I would readily seek the impeachment of any Democrat who acts they way Bush as done recently. Can some of you say the reverse? So far, not many of you. Thats the difference between me, and
some of you.
The real question is not why I am against the Government (I already stated way), the question is
why aren't you all?. Some of you claim to be patriots, but no patriot has sat idly by and watch their country sink into totalitarianism. I'm not a liberal (or a democrat), but the liberals are right to say that we are heading in that direction. Just read the newspaper there is a power grab going on. As a matter of fact, conservatives are FINALLY beginning to say the same thing (sooner would have been better).
This current Government's threat to our Democracy is real, but instead the sheep stand idly by make excuses and repeat the same government propaganda because they are either too intellectually lazy to inform themselves, to arrogant to admit error, to afraid to take a stand, or in the case of our Congress worse, not willing to make a political splash. That goes for BOTH parties. Whatever happen to the brave Republicans in 1972 who told another our-of-control Republican President to Resign or face Impeachment.
As for Patreaus. Patreaus might wear a uniform but
HE CHOSE to work for a dishonest government. If you check the polls, the Presidents credibility is lower than a used car salesman. What do you expect me to do? Congratulate Patreaus for deciding to work for a certified liar? BTW, I didn't accuse him of being a liar or a cheat, I accused him of being a Bush sock-puppet. To me he is no different than Tony Snow, a walking mouthpiece who will recite whatever he is told to say. I don't trust Tony Snow either.
You want to talk about slander? Ok, fine. How about the vicious attacks on General Shiniski, General Odom, General Casey, or General Peter Pace (and many, many others). Pace was recently let go as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because
DARED contradict some of the Bush Talking points about Iran's involvement in Iraq. I congratulate those military officers who had the guts to put whats right over their career and speak the truth against this disaster that has forsaken us.
Its funny how some of you leap to Patreaus defense, but said nothing about the other generals or government officers were thrown out like dirty linen by the people in power. At least I am consistent.
