Bush DID Make a Mistake LETTER FROM A FRIEND

I thought that I would pass this on as it's a very good letter...

BUSH DID MAKE A MISTAKE

This is a comment from one of my Canadian relatives:  Sadly, very sadly, this is all too true.  Just wait until the next president takes office; likely a Democrat.  The attacks on American soil and against American property, all too common under Clinton, will resume. They sure stopped in a hurry after 9/11 when "stupid" Bush struck back.  And that's all it took. 

A MISTAKE--- President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq.  Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII.  It is not.  Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression.  The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression. But they still believed fervently in this country.  They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.  Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not and whether the war was going badly or not.  And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. 

Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war.  But that did not matter.  The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty.  Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.  Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old, pitched in.  Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort.  Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.  Men who were too old or medically 4F (deferred from the draft) lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military.  Women doubled their work to keep  things going at home.  Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.  And, even though the President was a liberal Democrat, he took a stand and made the hard choices while leading the nation through the war. 

You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough, in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President.  Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale.  And imagine this:  Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a pledge of allegiance, under God, and with prayers for our country and our
troops! 

Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage.  No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being "tortured" by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning. 

There were a lot of things different back then.  We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio.  We did not have legions of crackheads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.  (We also did not have television then. Maybe that was a blessing.) 

No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism.  He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers.  He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.  It is not the same country.  It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorrah and the Land of Oz.  We even have the wicked witch of the west as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives! We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices. 

NOW HEAR THIS!  We are in great danger.  These terrorists are fanatical Muslims.  They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam.  It has been estimated that about one third, or over three hundred million, Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists' cause.  Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. 

If you won't fight, at least get out of the way and let the rest of us fight this menace!

Great bible passage, Ron!

May I use it for a signature?

This whole world we live in seems so hypocritical. The "Culture-War" is reaching a peak.

Like was mentioned in the article:

We cannot say a prayer or the pledge of allegiance for fear of "Separation of Church and State" - bsb, wait till you hear O'Reilly's comments on that - he was SPOT ON!

But are allowing pornography, disgusting clothing, peircing of every body part and I mean EVERY, drugs, condoms, promotion of homosexual activity, vile language, and every other SP - Secular Progressive = Social Pleasures that the liberal maniacs want to indulge themselves in.

Hypocracy - pure HYPOCRACY!

That's a great letter. It made me sad, but as someone once told me, "the truth hurts".
