The 11th Hour

Sept 8th
In a few short days, the 2nd anniversary will be upon us. The Eleventh hour of the 11th. Media, et al, is buzzing about the likelihood of some other attack on us by terrorists. I am apprehensive as well. It makes me angry at them and angry at an administration that mismanaged things from the start.

Now the Village Idiot who usurped the Throne--the one we call our President--asks for huge amounts of money to try to clean up the mess; to fund the rebuilding of their "infrastructure." Well, we have some sorry infrastructure over here, too. How is it that Bush cannot justify the money for Education, health Care, more police, social security, and a plethora of other things, but he can find 87 billion dollars to give to a country that hates us? They hate us for the same reasons many other countries hate us. The U.S. Political Machine sticks its nose in where it doesn't belong, coerces and bullies and tells other people what their religion should be, what their lives should be...mostly in the name of Black Gold.

The U.S. Politicos are the global mafia. They spend astronomical amounts of money rebuilding this other country, and we won't even own it afterward. If Saddam needed to be taken out, it should have been a coalition of countries doing it. But Bush was too much of a war-monger and too worried about getting re-elected, so he wanted to be a war-time president because approval ratings always go up for them...that means he's greedy. That means he doesn't have the nation's best interests at heart. And now he's begging for help from the U.N. after they all told him they wanted no part of the way he wanted to do it.Democratically speaking, he was voted down, yet somehow that concept escaped him and all those in his administration. Neither Saddam nor Bin Laden have been captured or killed, all these Weapons of Mass Destruction have not been found, and I think it had more to do with being embarrassed that Bin Laden got away, so he went after someone more accessible. Isn't that like Robbing Peter to pay Paul? So what the hell was all that for, again?

While we're spending billions on the country that hates us, the terrorists will still do what they're going to do, and we won't be ready to defend ourselves because all our resources are tied up in another country, instead of our own.

Charity begins at home, dammit.
