Subject: J L on President Bush (Surprising)>
Does everyone realize that most major cities have a black mayor!
With a
black president, will America look like every major city??
....j l WROTE
As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I
ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and
it seems to hit the mark. 'The other day I was reading Newsweek
magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must
be true given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are
unhappy withthe direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the
country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence
2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being
the knuckledragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy
about?''
A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours
a day, 7 Days a week?
B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning
in the summer and heating in the winter?
C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have
a job?
D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at
any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last
year?
E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks
from the Pacific
Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present
identification papers as we move through each state?
F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would
find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying
cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck your car, emergency
workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you
to the hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who
own a home.
J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate
case of a fire, a group oftrained firefighters will appear in moments
and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and
your belongings.
K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat
screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun
and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family
against attack or loss. L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs
or militias raping and
pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of
teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious, social and political
freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled
brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet
has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are.
The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about
what wedon't have, and what we hate about the country instead of
thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into
war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31
percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11?
The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of
recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the
book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe
from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an
all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk
show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look
around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think
about it......are you upset at the President because he actually
caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you
he was failing to>>>> kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no
mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to
serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is
currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a
''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge
or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable' ' discharge after
a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69
percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds
it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car
crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at
the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are
for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized,
try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one
way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to
write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he
would have done it this way......Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times
for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all
we have a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are
among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several
times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' With
hurricanes,tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe
thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another,
and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we
sure this isa good time to take God out of the Pledge of
Allegiance?'
