"We" HATE Bush because he stole the presidency! He committed heinous voter tampering in Florida and EXPLOITED the Electoral College system so that his arse could sit in Gore's House! He is an evil bastard who has made a mockery of our country, burned bridges to old allies, and increased the hatred directed at us from other nations in the world. And that's not even to mention what he's let the economy turn into, and the fact that he is an utter moron in the first place! He scored 600 cumulative on his SATs! That's tantamount to having a big sign over his head with an arrow pointing down that says "IDJIT!"!
Nobody has to like Bush's smirky arse to be patriotic, just like they don't have to be 'God fearin' christians' to be as much.
I will not respect an american president who said upon learning that there was a web site making fun of him "There should be limits to freedom" and has appointed fascist beasts to the huge Orwellian organization of Homeland Security to strip away our rights to privacy and nonviolent dissent!
And France, Russia, and Germany might be a bunch of stubborn buggers, but our government is making fools out of us by devoting attention to RENAMING FOODS IN THE CAFETERIA! These dumb shytes should be concentrating on repairing the economy and/or finding another route to peace other than WAR not sanctioned by the UN! If we had some people actually TALENTED with political manuvering we could have manipulated UN resolution voting to give another 40 days then go into Iraq ACTUALLY looking like riteous liberators, not totalitarian warmongers! Bush's obsession with Iraq (Iraq's been there for 12 years with no major invasions taking place, then alluva sudden Bush takes power and his spidey senses tell him that Saddam's up to something) is going to get more americans killed both in the War itself and afterwards when a bunch of pissed off Islamic fanatics join up with Al Quaeda like organizations to kill more innocents.

I don't care if it is insensitive. Why should I be sensitive to a killing machine? After all some of them like to be called that. My point is that they took a pledge to kill when they were told where they are told to do it and with what they should do it. Maybe not to those exact words but what I am saying is that person had a choice as to what they wanted to do and they chose to join the military knowing (I hope) the consequences of what could happen. My Grandfather was in the Army for the Korean War and the Vietnam War. My dad was in the Navy, my brother joined the army for a brief time, and my Uncle is in the Air Force. If you think I am being insensitive because I have no one that is or has been in the military then I guess you know now.

Alright, slingblade. LISTEN UP. Soldiers are soldiers, very few of them are "killing machines" who enjoy slaughtering people in wars that are in NO WAY JUSTIFIABLE OR NOBLE! I have friends who joined up with the Army after 9/11 so they could DEFEND THE COUNTRY, not kill a country that is over 50 percent children! They took a job where they RISK DYING then they should RISK DYING for something more than OIL INTERESTS and an idiot president's obsession! Bugger your insensitivity, you're being stupid.
