The one thing that irritates me most is when people just believe whatever they’re fed by the media. Issues regarding the current war tend to fall into this basket, as millions of people are simply regurgitating what they hear from the liberal propaganda machine.
I get really irritated when I see people with bumper stickers that say “Re-Defeat Bush”. He was never defeated in the first place, moron. If he had been, he wouldn’t have become President. Yes, the election was close, but he was never defeated. The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote in favor of Bush. If you don’t like Bush, that’s fine. But don’t be a moron about it—make intelligent choices.
I received this from a friend of mine, and thought it was interesting. I’m not saying that I’ve verified everything here, but if these statistics are true, then Bush is doing a great job in office. Maybe you don’t like him ’cause your a Democrat. Fine, then use that as your excuse to want to get rid of him. But this war cannot be one of those reasons.
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January. In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That’s just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq.
When some claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following;
F. D. Roosevelt led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,334 per year.
Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but…
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
We’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick (with a young lady inside ).
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!
Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB! The Military moral is high! The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.
I just hope that people who’ve taken the time to study the issues and the candidates will be at the polls in November. I also hope that the people who don’t know very much about this election will just stay home, since they obviously don’t care enough about it anyways.

Hey, don’t take this the wrong way but an unattributed quote full of facts you haven’t verified doesn’t really seem any better than biased media to me. Although I do agree that people should not rely on the media to educate them on the issues. The thing you don’t mention is that it goes both ways, I’ve got problems with both the liberal media and the conservative media.
And anyway, accurate or not, the quote you published doesn’t mean a whole lot unless we know from whence it came.
As well I’m not sure how relevant they are to why people might have a problem with how Bush is running the war. Some people maybe…but…I have problems with how Bush is running the war and none of these fact address those problems in any way, shape or form.
I’m still not exactly sure why we went to war with Iraq and sometimes I’m not sure if Bush himself knows. It also disturbs me that so many people have died in Iraq since we “won” the war.
Wars are complicated things and I’m not sure comparing the Iraq war to these others says a whole lot.
As well, saying that if those facts are true it shows that Bush is doing a great job is a bit of a stretch. I would hope that if he is doing a great job there’s a whole lot more than that to back that up.
