My main concern is that congress, and you can't let Democrats off the hook, laid down for Bush in letting him go to war. There's no way to spin it, all those Congressmen who voted to authorize Bush to go to war knew that he was planning on going to war. They said that they weren't willing to sacrifice re-election to stand up against the war. So while I'm in agreement with your disgust over the Bush sticker - support troops problem, in my view it's almost as bad for those Kerry supporters with the support troop stickers.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637013327541647571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1103396630757886892004-12-18T13:03:00.000-06:002004-12-18T13:03:00.000-06:00My wife and I have no problem displaying yellow ri...My wife and I have no problem displaying yellow ribbon magnets on our cars... alongside liberal bumper stickers. I want the troops in Iraq to effectively finish what they need to do, as soon as they can, so they can come home.<br /><br />Someone around here had a great bumper sticker that read "Support our troops. Bring them home alive." <br /><br />I don't think the administration is doing much more than a half-assed job supporting our troops in Iraq. I don't think they'll really be supporting them until they stop cutting veterans' benefits, until they give the troops better armor, until they end their back-door drafts, and until they stop putting our troops in dangerous situations (like Iraq) where there are not enough of them to get the job done effectively or more quickly... and until they stop using our troops in a ridicululous neoconservative-generated attempt to build a world empire (Pax Americana). Using our military for world dominion is an abuse of power on the part of Bush and his friends, as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />Danger is part of their job, but I don't think putting the troops in this kind of danger is right because I don't think it was necessary. I think they are in Iraq by a matter of Bush's choice.<br /><br />The rest of the world hates us more than ever, we're stuck in Iraq for who knows how long, and the administration uses these things to keep the public in a general state of fear. The cabal of turds running our country should be ashamed of its collective self.Snavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763424943041003098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1103392184428418312004-12-18T11:49:00.000-06:002004-12-18T11:49:00.000-06:00You know, I was driving on the freeway yesterday l...You know, I was driving on the freeway yesterday looking at one of those ribbons and having thoughts very similiar to yours. I know these folks mean well but every time I see one it just reminds me of that sheeple mindset that Bush uses so effectively.Jim Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192637469594429978noreply@blogger.com
