Don't We Have More Important Things To Worry About?

By now everyone has heard about the John Kerry joke. We have people being killed in Iraq, we have our liberties being stolen from us by our own govenrment, we have kids being killed in our schools, we have....so many serious issues going on and on every news station I turn on what do I hear about? John Kerry's joke is an affront on our soliders fighting in Iraq. Well, no it wasn't. It was a joke about President Bush. Why don't these newsmen and women get so worked up over things that matter. Sometimes I am at a loss for words.

You're absolutetly right. The problem is that even the hint that you don't support the troops and it's all over...everyone starts attacking you. I think it's a leftover from Vietnam where so much abuse was heaped on the troops, now you can't even say anything bad, or have anything you say percieved to be anti-troop or you're in for a world of hurt.

I voted for Kerry, not because I thought he would be a great president, but sadly because he was better than the alternative. Not the best way to pick our leaders, but when it's all we got, there's not much else to do.

Both parties are so deeply ingrained and so anti each other at the expense of this country it's not even funny.

And song is such a classic anti war song. John Fogerty turned out so many classic, wonderful songs in such a short period of time with CCR it's nothing short of amazing.

I think because we have a volunteer army we don't see as much press about who makes up our troops like we did in Vietnam, which drafted the poor and ones with little choices in life. The army still is made up of these, they're not being drafted, but in one sense they are, they don't have much choice in life, the army sometimes seems the only option, so they join.

I think it was Michael Moore's doc that he stated that only ! person serving in congress has a child serving in Iraq. Not that there wasn't a lot of children of congress men and women that weren't of age to be over there, they just weren't.
