All this talk about liberals heh heh. I started believing the 'conservative' view of the world when I was in the USMC back in 86, Listened to Rush every day for years. I detested Clinton when he was in office because I thought he brought dishonor to the office.
I was mad as hell after 9/11/01 and thought that going into afghanistan was completely justified and proper. THATS where the people were who attacked us. THATS where they trained and lived........let's blow it up! Hell yeah, I am all about that shit right there.
When the Iraq thing started to come up I admit I had moments of doudt. 'But we aren't finished in Afghanistan', 'Saddam didn't do shit'. these were some of the thoughts I had. But When Powel stood up in front of the general assembly and the world and said words to the effect that Iraq had WMDs, we know where they are, we know what he has, and we know how much of them he has along with a desire to put them in the hands of terrorists, well then......BLOW THE FUCKER UP! & To hell with the pansy assed UN and their whiney little puke BS of sanctions and rhetoric........BLOW THE FUCKER UP............YEAH!
Thats where I was, and i couldnt wait for the proof to come out and justify 100% us going in. But slowly it dawned on me that there were no WMDs. The weapons inspectors that were there days before we bombed reported to the UN that none existed (we forced them to leave if you remember) and that Saddam had no capability of getting WMDs. I started to question things. I also questioned my questioning because I do truly love this country.
Now, in 2005, I can honestly say that Bush and his administration scares the hell out of me. He shows a lack of any understanding on things like 'human rights', he believes IMO, that the world needs to fit nice and neatly into his own views, and I firmly believe that he is attempting to turn our democracy into the worlds most powerful theocracy. i DO believe he is legislating away our rights in this country and calling it security. I think he and his kind are bad for America, his policies are bad for this country and the world and that his supports falls into one or three catagories.
zealot religeous Christians
Right wing power crazed thugs (heh heh, I love that description)
people who think his policies are good for business ( Hey! I make more money with a conservative republican in office......I LOVE BUSH)
Fine Mike, you like him for whatever reason you have. You have stated it over and over and over and over and over and fucking puke me a fucking river already with what is in my opinion an absolutely BLIND EYE to reality. Bottom line, MILLIONS of people disagree with you in this country alone. But hey call it a mandate like Bush did and move on, but just because someone disagrees with you on the topic of GWB and how he runs (LOL runs) the country does not make that person a liberal.
I still can't bring myself to actually say I wish Al Gore had won back in 2000, because i dont, but damn! I sure wish someone other then GWB had gotten it for the repubs.
