YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When a covert CIA operative was outed.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When the Patriot Act was passed.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42, Presidents combined.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When you found out, we were torturing people.



YOU DIDN’T GET MAD…

When Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick...Oh, Hell No!!

Do I just not watch the far right news enough? am I missing the outrage of a Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity about those traitors in Florida intent on making our military deployed across the world even more at risk by burning the holy book of over two billion people around the world? Are they speaking out the way our generals , our Sec of State, most anyone with a patriotic heart is? or are they sitting on their hands? It was their spreading of hate that makes these idiots think that the American people would stand for this "book burning" crap...they need to speak up to condemn it or be there to try to light that fire, sitting on the sidelines isn't one of the options. Oh, yeah...I forgot who I'm talking about..COWARDS!!!

I have to wonder why American military lives are not more important to these people than stomping their feet and pitching their hate filled fit. Do these participants in this thing not have loved ones who serve in the US military? do they really not care that they will place thousands of our Marines/soldiers/sailors/airmen in even more danger? And that danger will be ongoing? Do they really believe that the good Lord endorses that hate?

Koran Burning controversy endangers Americans
Anyone have any information on a counter protest? The Muslim nations are already in an uproar. Helping the Taliban...thanks to these "so called "Christians.

9/11 families promote peace not all the 9/11 families are necessarily on the side of the haters....great web site, wonderful information on good work done by these families to help them heal.

This is a good read about the chaplains in Afghanistan and those who protect them. The first chaplain to be KIA since Viet Nam died last Monday with 4 soldiers.
