Irrational Jingoism at it's best. Posted by Hello

More slagging on the US

This is a letter to the editor from the Orlando Sentinel

Orlando Sentinel

On my way to work Wednesday morning, I looked up and saw a giant billboard with a picture of George W. Bush and the words "OUR LEADER" under it. The first thing I thought was, when was the last time I have seen a president on a billboard? What is going on? Didn't Saddam Hussein have his picture up everywhere? What next, a statue?

I am so concerned with our country and the division. I still stand by my vote, which was for John Kerry. George W. Bush has a lot of work to do to change the way I feel. Putting him up on a billboard does not make him a better president. His actions speak louder than words.

I wonder if anyone else finds the president's picture on a billboard odd? I'm sorry, but it reminds me of countries with dictators, and it seems people are making him out to be the messiah, the savior of our world.

Fear, fear, fear. I'm tired of being afraid.

The Fans have spoken, I am back

"You really do love me!" It's been while since I updated but I didn't think anyone really cared, well I was wrong, I have literally 10's of people (well not tens but more than 3 and less than 7) ask me to update the blog. Well today is election day and I guess we'll see what kind of America we live next to. Anyway I'll keep up a more rigorous blogging schedule. Peace.

What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.” – JFK
