WHILE WE SIT HERE IN THE COMFORT OF OUR OWN LIVES, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THE MEDIA AND HISTORIANS THAT WE HAVE COME TO TRUST AND RELY ON, ARE CHANGING OUR PAST AND THE HISTORY OF IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.

 

THE HISTORY THAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS NOT THE HISTORY THAT WAS TAUGHT JUST 10, 15 YEARS AGO.  IN ORDERE TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECYT, THEY ARE CHANGING IT.  TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHINGS WORSE, OTHERS BETTER.  AND CHANGING SOME THINGS COMPLETELY.

 

WE MUST HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.  THEY CANNOT GET AWAY WITH IT.  HISTORY, GOOD OR BAD, WEATHER IT SAYS WHAT WE WANT OR NOT, NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT CORRECTLY, NO MATTER WHO IT EMBARRASSES, HURTS, OR DESTROYS. 

 

THAT IS A HARD THING TO SWALLOW, BUT, HISTORY NEEDS TO STAY HISTORY SO WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES, ADD TO THE GOOD, AND NOT REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST.

 

MAYBE THE PRESS IS RIGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IRAQ, BUT WITH THE WAY HISTORY IS TODAY WE WILL NEVER KNOW.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?  THE MEDIA CONTROLING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE THE SAME WAY WE EXPECT THE POLITICIANS TO BE. 

 

I NOW HEAR THAT THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WANT TO CREATE AN EXIT STRATEGY IN IRAQ.

 

HERE IS A STATEGY 

 

 

WHEN JOB IS FINISHED THEN WE LEAVE.

 

HOW SIMPLE IS THAT.  IF WE DO ANYTHING ELSE SHORT OF THAT, THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE SLAMMING US NOW AND TELLING US TO GET OUT OF THERE NOW, WILL BE HOLLERING THAT WE DESERTED THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ. 

 

THEY WILL CLAIM THAT WE WENT IN JUST TO DESERT AND LEAVE THEM DEFENSELESS AGAINST THE ENEMIES THAT ARE SURROUNDING THEM.  iF WE LEAVE THEM NOW, WE WILL BE LEAVING THEM TO THE TERRORISTS THAT WE ARE FIGHTING.

 

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEDIA,  AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. 

Who are we? As a nation, as individuals. This country has been at odds with the rest of the world since the beginning. We have been at war since day one. We have a violent past, and we will probally have a violent future. That said, what makes us any diferent than any other country?

Look at the middle east. The has been wars there since the biblical days. They have fought and died for that small stretch of land. There probally have been more deaths over tha small land of palistine than any other land. Civil wars erupt all over this earth. Everyday you hear of another. So how are we diferent than them?

We have greed, corrupt leaders, theft, poverty. People live their lives without the though of others. How are we diferent? We look like any other country. Our people will fight for what we have. We will fight for our piece of ground. So will they. So, from the outside, we are not much diferent. But we are.

How are we diferent. We have a set absolute. We have laws, that while they are broken, perpatrators are mostly caught and penalized. Our political system by far is greater than any other(I do apoligize to my British friends, but this is how I feel.) We have set it up, and it works.

But that is not who we really are. Our political system does not define who we are. Neither does the bad things.

What happened after 9-11 defines who we are. After the OKC bombing defines it. This country comes together after national disasters like these. Our country right now is beginning to look like a bunch of jerks. But that is not the real picture of us. The media has focused on everthing that went wrong after katrina, and rita, and wilma. They have tried to bury the stories of all those that have put forth the effort to help down there. Oh, I see the animal saviors. But what about the stories of the people who have risked their lives to help. Or have taken leave from work to volunter down there in the cleanup? No stories. But yet someone is down there cleaning up. there are alot of people there helping.

That is who we are. As a nation. As a people. We come to the aid of those in need. When the sunami hit, we came to the aid of those in need. wwi and wwii. Korea. Vietnam. This is a nonpopular viewpoint. We canme to those in need. those that asked for help against those that oppressed them. When our worldly neighbors come to us, we are there.

But what about those that we help. We rebuilt Japan. Helped Germany. But when we need help, where are those countries? we as a country have to remember we are Americans. The liberal press have labeled States as being red or blue. I say that all states need to be RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. Some say that I'm a flag waver. I say that I am. I'm more than that. I was born an American. I'm an American that stands behind her.

Yes, I support Bush. I couldnot stand Clinton, but I never once tried to tear my country down with words. I've always said, while I may not care for the President, I will always care for my country.

That is what makes us diferent. those that don't like Bush, wait 2 more years. Those that like him, we only have 2 more years.

This is a great country, but it is the people that makes us great, not it's leaders. That is why we are diferent. With or without great leaders, we will continue to help those in need. We will continue to have a great country. And we will continue to be hated for it.

There are thing that I just don't understand. I seem to get under peoples skin, and all I have to do is show up. I understand that I veiw thing a little different than other people do. But come on. I put up with others opinoin. Even when they are wrong. Why don't people like mine. These are my honest opinion. They are how I feel.

I don't understand the double standard. We have senators and congressmen who always vote liberally, but live conservativly. Why======Do you have problems with your votes or are you to scared to live that way. I want to see a politician that will run on his own pribnciples and then vote that way. When they don't, then they are not telling the truth some where. Where are the honest people. I want an honest politician.

I just read an editorial that states that there are no more superpowers. And the man stated that if there is, there is omnly one. That is China. I have one thing to say to Mr. Richard Reeves. If you hate America and want to see our downfall so bad, leave.

He uses the storms of late to prove it. That the only way to even consider that we are a superpowers is by our nuks that swe have.

ONE QUESTION. IF WE ARE NOT A SUPERPOWER, THEN WHY DOES EVERY OTHER COUNTRY LOOK TO US TO SEE HOW WE ARE DOING. With our military, our economics, and our personal freedoms, we are the superpower in this world.

My country is the greatest of this time. Maybe in the next few years something will change, but this is my country. We are the reason most countries are not communist today.
