What a piece of bullshit propaganda. What, you Libs can’t find enough dirt to dig up on this man so you have to put words in his mouth to get a response? Aren’t you judging him in the same manner of which we should not judge others? Hell, if you’re going to do that then just lay out the facts like a man instead of sucker punching!
In the Democrats realm, this would constitute a hate crime! Where was all this piece and love on 9/11/2001? What do you want the man to do, let the terrorists continue to slam planes, blow up subway systems, and chop peoples heads off while we negotiate a more peaceful resolution of appeasement so that they MIGHT leave us alone? Wouldn’t that just be so dandy!
You crazy idiots might be able to evoke some emotional political retribution against Bush and his administration, but isn’t it better to take all that negativity out on the real threat? No, it is not Bush!
Has it not come to your realization that it doesn’t take ONE MAN to send us to war, but a MAJORITY congressional agreement to go to war? Shall I dare say the numbers of that majority and list the names of each congressional Senator who are ALSO guilty of sending our troops into battle? Wasn’t it John Kerry who voted against this war, but only after he voted for it? Where were the democrats who voted in majority to give the go ahead and let Bush slaughter our good American soldiers? Was it for the countries sake and not necessarily for votes? Yes, we are talking about our fine Democratic officials, our fair weathered friends in the blue states!
This whole mess from the left shows me nothing but the biggest display of national hypocrisy in the HISTORY of the United States of America from blue state political officials and their faithful cabal!
Our intentions in Iraq have a lot more to do with terrorism than just ousting Saddam Hussein. Through legitimate national security information, it was found out that Abou Mousaab Al Zarquawi was IN Iraq meeting with Saddam before we went to war. Have you heard the recent news about the thwarted attack on the NEW YORK subways? I think it was Bushes “Patriot act” that enabled us to acquire that great information to keep New Yorkers from dying a slow and very painful death. Yes, some of you people actually were able to make it to work today due to the policy you most hate according to these recently rigged blue state polls!
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe our entering Iraq is more of a strategic stance against the leading hostile terrorist nations than for political reasons? This excuse about getting the oil in Iraq is just plan moronic; thrown in by desperate Democratic officials as a ” Political Hot Potato” issue to sway the public opinion of the American people away from the fact of this war and more for political gain in upcoming elections. All I hear or see from the leftists is Michael Moorer, amateur edited, fast food rated lib ca, ca.
If I had more time to counter these lies with the truth I sure would. Can some one tell me where I can find some real concrete evidence about Bush and his dark sided Jedi prowess to back up these claims of the Michael Moorer, independent amateur film making bullshit artists, please???
I thought liberals had more character than to continuously slander our president in this manner. I have been in the political realm for quite a long time now and know that the majority of the Libs, Democrats, and PETA pumpers act and think in this fashion so don’t make any excuses for your selves please. Keep popping this garbage out to those confused little followers who think they are in the know crowd. They listen and watch the nation’s nightly news like Jews in a Nazi concentration camp. The only difference is that they are willing souls who are beat down emotionally, mentally, and bombarded by edited and omitted leftist ideology propaganda! These pour souls are made to think this garbage is right and “Politically Correct”! That’s what is so sad.
Pull out the plank in your OWN eyes you fascist Liberals before you try to take the splinter out of some one else’s. Don’t even try to deviate from the fact that this whole attack against President Bush is nothing short of politics of power for the left wingers. The most horrific thing is that the upper elite class of your type is feeding the ignorant and keeping them that way. Shit rolls down hill as they say!
P.S. Wasn’t it Al Gore and the Democratic Party and not Bush who invented the concept of “Dumbing Down”? Is that even a word? Wasn’t my idea!
Peace…

Soz about the typos, it was late.

Aloha Roberto,
Forget about all that depressing war stuff and watch this surfing video instead.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1041053573910778617&q=big+wave+surfing
Visualize yourself being launched onto this massive wave.
What would be going through your mind as you pass the point of no return on this 50 foot monster?
Aloha,
Dave.

Aloha Roberto,
Here is a different Beatles song to help take your mind off of the first one.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=829401773913198414&q=jake+ukulele
It’s a truly amazing solo version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George Harrison on a Ukulele. If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, I don’t know what will.
Maybe you should take a vacation and visit Hawaii for a few weeks.
Aloha,
Dave.

Is this an all expense paid trip to the land of sweet palm trees, belly dancing hula girls and volcanic sacrifices of frail young virgins?
I guess I should fully utilize your blog to learn some SEO and get my site making some bucks. Then, I can afford the trip to Hawaii and we can have an intellectual discussion while sipping martinis and listening to our favorite Beatle hits in the background.
I love that 50 foot wave, especially without any background music to spoil the true affect. Since I am also a guitar player/music writer, that Samoan Elvis rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is well skilled and a pleasure to listen too.
I must say that when I saw that first video I commented on, I was thoroughly disgusted, and without thinking another thought, I promptly replied my long winded post with a natural knee jerk reaction.
Thanks for the vid and remember, “Fair and Balanced”! Lawl!

Thanks Roberto,
No problems.
There is actually a name for this effect but I can’t remember what it’s called. But anyway… The theory follows this line of reasoning.
In situations where people or groups have opposing viewpoints…
If I say it’s black and you say it’s white; chances are that we will never agree. In fact, it is very likely that we will both become even more entrenched and passionate in our opposing beliefs.
However… If I were to say; “This is dark grey.”
And you were to respond; “I believe it’s actually more light grey”
We have an excellent chance of coming to an agreement that it’s actually somewhere in the middle.
The best approach is to take it in steps. If I say it’s black, you could respond with; Maybe it’s more dark grey than black. Now that you’ve moved me down a notch, you might be able to talk me down from dark grey to grey than light grey then white over time.
If one of your family members ever joins a cult or whatever, the last thing you want to do is attack the group with your belief system. Calling them crazy idiots isn’t very likely to persuade them change their POV. It is very likely that the exact opposite will happen.
The best thing to do is get the true believer to accept that one detail may or may not be true and then work from there until they have been “deprogrammed”.
Aloha,
Dave.

Hola Dave,
I get exactly what you’re saying; though, in my first response to that (Imho) horrible-overly edited clip, I felt it necessary to respond in an equally strong manner.
It has become clear to me, based upon your previous responses, that you are a more level headed and thoughtful person, I can appreciate that.
When this clip was made by its author, the intentions of the content were clear: Malicious, degrading, slanderous, insinuating, presumptuous, insulting, and exaggerating. Yes, this vid can be more scrutinized by those of us who are more thoughtful regarding the content, but what about those who have less scruples about actual information given?
This is why I delivered my post in a response stronger than a large cup of double espresso. My content was to counter the delivery of this video clip’s message. Mind you, I am just explaining how I felt at the time of my first post.
I must admit writing “You Crazy Idiots” is not a very productive way to turn converts from what I believe to be “Wrong” or “Right”, it was meant more as a head jarring affect to the recipient believer who revels in celebration of this type of slanderous content against our President.
Now, if some one wanted to engage me about this issue on a more level headed, unbiased approach based upon actual fact, I would more than welcome the opportunity. If some one wanted to argue theory or ideologies, then let’s argue the point of your belief. Theory is not as clear as facts and facts are based upon absolutes. Theory can be argued more upon circumstantial evidence which would probably go on forever. In that case I would give you or whomever my MSN handle and do that in real time.

Ah, I must correct my response in closing, it must of been the arrows that caused the error. :O

I agree and can change gears when it warrants.

Deprogrammed- Call it social engineering, public schools, and “It Takes a Village” theory. j/k…kinda.
I can divide information with the best of them to reveal actual core substance.
I appreciate that you and I can agree on how to persuade a person to facts rather than fiction.
Hola,
Roberto,
