- I am an American.
-
- I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican.
- I am an American.
- As an American, I recognize that it is my duty to be
a part of the check and balance system that watches our government. The
rest of you Americans, together with the media, are the remaining parts
of this system. We are all in this together.
- How did it get to this point? How did Americans forget
that we are all in this together? It is not us against them, me against
you, Democrats against Republicans, people! We all need to band together
and demand accountability from these people that claim to represent us,
because it looks more and more to me like they are representing their own
personal interests and wealth.
-
- I'm tired of Democrats versus Republicans in the smear
campaign that occurs every four years. It has spilled over into my life,
and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the Democratic whining, and I'm tired
of both parties' lying. More than anything else, I'm tired of the double
standard.
- I seek the truth. When it comes to the United States
government, this is an elusive thing. It becomes all the more elusive
when the other parts of the system break down.
-
- As the lies of the President and his administration continue
to come to light, the media seems content to look the other way.
- Peter Jennings, a long time television journalist, put
General Wesley Clark on the hot seat last week for allowing outspoken filmmaker
Michael Moore to support his campaign and not reprimanding Moore on his
Presidential name-calling. Mr. Moore, you may not recall, called President
Bush a deserter. Jennings called these claims unfounded and unproven.
What Mr. Jennings fails to see is that Michael Moore is trying to do his
duty as an American. Apparently, Mr. Jennings has no interest in doing
his job, i.e. investigating these claims, or any interest in doing his
own duty as an American or learning the truth of the matter.
-
- Bill O'Reilly pummels any guest who has the temerity
to question the President's military service with repeated calls of "But
he received an honorable discharge." That's great, Mr. O'Reilly.
It has been suggested that Mr. Bush may have received preferential treatment,
vaulting to the top of a 500-name waiting list to gain his spot in the
Air National Guard and receiving an honorable discharge after being absent
without leave for the last year of his service. Don't you think we need
to get to the bottom of this, Mr. O'Reilly? Where was the President during
that year, 1972-73, when he still had two years' military service left
to go?
- During the 1992 presidential election, Bush's father,
George H.W. Bush, called on his Democratic opponent, Bill Clinton, to make
public all personal documents relating his draft status during the Vietnam
War. We eventually learned that Mr. Clinton skipped the country to avoid
serving in Vietnam. He was probably in Canada getting stoned. At least
he didn't lie about this. Yet you can still hear the echoes of the Republicans,
roaring their disapproval.
- There are allegations that President Bush's military
records have been tampered with, or "cleaned up." In his book
"Bush's War for Re-election," James Moore examines the issue
of Bush's military service in great detail. As far back as 1994, Bush's
political aides began contacting and pressuring anyone from Bush's past
who could cover up his military record. Why, I wonder, do Bill O'Reilly
and Peter Jennings seem to have no idea about this?
- Michael Moore only wants an accounting from the President,
as do I. If the President is not a deserter as Moore claims, prove it Mr.
President. Let's see the National Guard documents that prove you were
not AWOL for over a year during your military service. Let's see that
honorable discharge, and can you prove it was not just another favor phoned
in by Big Pockets Poppy Bush?
- When President Clinton lied under oath, the entire check-and-balance
system was in an uproar, and with good reason. Mr. Clinton was eventually
forced under pressure to admit that he had lied. He wasn't fooling anyone.
We all knew he lied anyway, didn't we?
-
- Now we have virtually the same situation, a sitting President
has lied (repeatedly) to America. Anyone with their eyes and ears open,
unspoiled by this idiotic Republican versus Democrat nonsense, can see
the lies very clearly.
-
- President Bush has lied about the reasons for war in
Iraq. Can anyone tell me how many times these reasons have changed, mutated,
transmogrified? He has lied about the non-existent weapons of mass destruction.
Only a few months ago, he and everyone else in his administration was
sure they were there. He has lied about his own military service. What's
important about this lie? He then has the balls to show up on an aircraft
carrier in full pilots uniform, strutting his stuff like a proud peacock.
The President has portrayed himself as a "war president." When
it was his turn to fight for our country, he ran like a scared child with
soiled pants.
-
- What are we going to do about it, America? If recent
signs are any indication, we are going to look the other way and pretend
it never happened. We are going to listen to all the talking heads on
television that tell us "The President received an honorable discharge",
and then believe that it absolves him of any absences during his military
commitment. We're going to allow him to delay the 911 committee's findings
until AFTER the November election, even though by that time it will have
been three years since that terrible tragedy occurred.
- Those things all happened so long ago, anyway.
- I have a message for all of you Americans out there that
would just as soon look the other way, do nothing, and let our country
go to Hell because you believe in the President, he's a Republican and
you voted for him. Don't vote this year, because you're all lousy Americans.
Your stupid, blind partisanship has relieved you of any real use you may
have once had as American citizens. If you can't hold a President who
you voted for and a President who you did not to the same standards, you
are using a double standard and are a hypocrite.
- REAL Americans care about what is happening in our country.
REAL Americans can look at what is happening with eyes that are not Democratic,
not Republican, but American.
- REAL Americans won't be lied to by ANY presidential liar,
Democratic or Republican.
