Well! That's a start! She speaks to me...

I told you this (not word for word) to some extent on another thread a while ago and I'll tell you again.

I doubt there is a decent person on SI that would fault you for voicing your opinion on our president and even a few complaints about the US as well. But...

Americans (even most SIers)tend to get a little pissed off at constant bashing of this Country when we have and probably will continue to help other Countries more than the rest combined. This pissed feeling is even worse when we have our young men and woman in harms way. Most of the time we put aside our political differences and back our Presendent/Country and Fighting people first.

A few years ago I/we lost my Mother to Ovarian cancer after she fought it for over 5 years. Today in a few hours My sister and I take my Dad up to talk to his doctor to get the results back from test he had the first of the week. My sister (nurse)feels the best to look forward to is a treatable lung cancer.

This tends to really burn my ass when I sit around thinking that if we didn't have to protect a few of the assholes that won't lift a hand in Iraq now...stop a bastard that was killing and raping his own people along with others...and feeding/supporting Lord knows how many countries we may have an extra trillion or so to give to a few of the brilliant people of this world that can at some time find a cure for several of these rotten diseases.

I'll end this now so you can get back to fighting the conspirecy mph, Mulhollanddrive and R_D_W have going against you. I warn you though...that whole crew seems like a bunch of nice people so there has to be something wrong with them..
