Questions (Edited for Clarity)

We aren't really fans of the tin foil crowd around here. I'll leave what he has up for purely comedic purposes. Some of the crazy junk that gets spewed by this crowd makes you double over. Sadly, he had some really good questions. Too bad he had to go all "REAL reason for the Iraq debacle". Oh well. He's gone now.

I have some questions for you good folks here on the Minority Report:

How can you continue support George W. Bush? Are you not aware that he took the largest budget surplus in history and made it the largest budget deficit in history (With a GOP congress, I might add). Do the myriad violations of the Constitution - spying on citizens under the guise of "fighting terrorism", suspending habeas corpus for "suspected" enemy combatants ( a term invented to circumvent the Constitution and the Geneva Convention), the Terry Schiavo affair, etc., not bother you? Are you willing to let blind, unquestioning partisanship trump our Constitution, that document upon which our great nation was founded?

Are you aware that the REAL reason for the Iraq debacle was Saddam Hussein's decision to switch to the Euro from the dollar as the accepted form of payment for Iraq's oil, effectively netting his country 30 billion dollars and severely devaluing the US dollar? Do you enjoy being lied to by your leaders?

Does Bush's rampant cronyism (heckava job, Brownie, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, etc., bother you in the least?

How about his inept response to Hurricane Katrina?

Maybe cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy while spending like a LIBERAL puts joy in your heart?

How about his stubborn refusal to admit the No Child Left Behind Act is a miserable failure? Is punishing schools that are already inept by taking away funding because enough students aren't graduating really the answer?

How about Israel? Do you question why the biggest state sponsor of terrorism of the world, the brutal thug state of Israel, is the largest benafactor of US foreign aid? Perhaps you aren't aware that this A) Is a huge waste of US tax dollars that the Israeli terorists really don't need and certainly don't deserve, and B) Engenders quite a bit of animosity in people who hate Israel? Why do we owe Israel? It befuddles me how the whole rest of the world understands that Israel is a brutal, ruthless aggressor, yet citizens of the US seem to think they are a "valuable ally". That can probably be attributed to the US media, who is markedly pro-Israel. I've actually got the solution to that and an astoundingly novel concept: read some foreign news!!!

I understand that you might encounter some troubling facts about the US (i.e. world opinion of us), but sometimes the truth hurts. On second thought, don't bother. That would be unpatriotic. Continue to live in your bubbles and chant your "USA is #1!!" mantras. Fantasyland beats reality any day of the week, right? Eventually, the rest of the world will wake up and realize their sins, and become glorious democracies, like us.

Kind Regards,

A Non-Fascist Patriot who loves America but will question and tell the truth about our government's actions and the resulting repercussions, not espouse the delusion that the US is incapable of wrongdoing.
