More Political Rantings... Read at your own risk

I don't normally write on LJ this much, but what the hell. I'm feeling more than a tad political. The subject of this entry will be how I'm pissed off at the president. (even though I still like him) But please do not think I would have voted for anyone else. I still love Cheney unconditionally, he's my homeboy.

Case in point: Gas prices are freaking ridiculous! Who can say this economy is doing so great when it is damn close to costing $3 a gallon for gas. Please, I'm not a Wall Street broker, but I think this one is pretty clear. If this administration was so corrupt as everyone says it is, than getting gas prices lowered would be a snap. I mean everyone has seen the pictures of Bush holding the Saudi prince's hand! If Cheney were president, he would not have held his hand and would have slapped it saying "Bitch, give me more oil!" And he would have done it. (I don't think I have to go into who the nationalities of most of the 9-11 hijackers were). Gas is too damn expensive for us to go into economic prosperity, I'm not an economist, but that I can figure out!

Second Case in Point: The War in Iraq. It is becoming unpopular, but no one is asking why. Conservatives who know the war was necessary are agreeing the war is being handled wrong. If this really is a war than it should be handled like a war and we should have toasted all the insurgents in the beginning instead of walking around public opinion. Were there cameras on site filming 24/7 the action in WWII? Maybe that war would have been unpopular too if the army was pandering to the network news and not to the war. If we are ever going to win this war, we need to show the insurgents we are not the pansy Americans they think we are. We are not going to blow ourselves up for 67 virgins, but we are willing to die for freedom.

Third Case: We need to secure the boarder: Then again, how can we hope to secure the boarder between Iraq and Syria (where these insurgents are bleeding out of there like a hemorrhage) when we cannot stop illegals from coming over our boarders. This country needs to stop the flood of illegal aliens in this country if we can ever hope to stop terrorists from killing us again. I don't buy the argument illegals are doing the jobs Americans don't want to do. If you give people a living wage, they'll clean your house and mow your lawn. They really do need to raise the minimum wadge, but I guess that's another rant.

Fourth Case: The 9-11 Commission was a JOKE: Anyone who has not been living under a rock for the past week knows a four man cell of terrorists could have been caught before 9-11. This commission was set up to save the Clinton Administration's ass and the Bush Administration's ass. Clearly, these people are being paid not to serve the American people, but to ingratiate themselves to their prospective political parties.

I love president Bush, but I think he is failing us in these areas. Especially the war in Iraq. We need to kill the insurgents and that's all there is too it. Wow! I'm so militant today.

Like I said, this was a read at your own risk post. If it makes you mad, I'm sorry, but I'm mad. We deserve better in this country than hearing everyday how 15 or so servicemen are dying everyday. It could be my cousin or your brother and they deserve better than to be shot like fish in a barrel.

Anyone who knows what the Army Corp. of Engineers can comment on this. (That's a joke for Jeff)

I still love elephants and all of you :)
