I had such a long conversation tonight with an old friend of mine. He was SO liberal for so long (like me)... even after 9-11 for a while... he and I had played in bands together over the years (http://www.trailofdead.com) and he has so completely now shifted to a pro-deal-with-the-shit-and-kill-the-terrorists point of view. He realizes what we all know, that the war is on our soil.

When I see the horrible pictures and understand the amazing reality we face now, I have patience and can wait for things like "Economic Recovery." I don't buy into sugar-daddy Democrat politikal "suck my voting constituency forming domestic social program bullsh*t" any more. I so totally admire this President for holding his ground so thorougly and unrelentingly, and being strong and taking all the shit he takes knowing that in the end the France's and Germany's of the world will realize we hauled their arses from the brink of hell in times past. Bush has totally won a lot of us former liberals over by remaining strong.

Let me qualify. I am a former totally liberal grunge f&c* from Olympia Washington who still loves Nirvana and the Melvins and all the other bands (i.e. again my old bandmates are found flailing at http://www.trailofdead.com).

BUT...

When Cat Stevens or any other stupid self proclaimed protected "artist" declares that "I am a member of humanity and as a Muslim this is my contribution to the call for a peaceful solution to the dangerous path some world leaders today seem to be taking" I have to vomit in a forcefull and unrecognizable way.

I see these anti-US protesters of our position in this war - for views these ungratefulls describe as being "dangerous" and stupid etc - as being nothing less than slackers and leeches who don't care anything about what we've done to help nations over the years.

They care nothing for we've done to help the French (bastards - think Normandy) and Germans (dumb and tall - think liberation from Hitler and Russia) and now they want to take something for nothing; they wanna bitch about GWB, who I view as a Completely Righteous Dude for standing strong against so much criticism from absolute insolets. France, and Germandy, and liberal idiots want everything and they give nothing back other than meaningless criticism about our "politics." I say go F&u* yourselves France and Germany and Liberal Protesters (my former friends).

!!!

IN crude analysis it seems to me that the Iraqi dictator is only partly eliminating these stupid weapons he has (and we ALL know he has them). The danger he himself faces now and has created for himself is of his own invention. And he bitches about what? Even his own expatriats dispute him and support us.

His compliance is at some pace like 10%. It's like he's driving at 10 MPH on a freeway or something. It's like his efforts are 10% of total disarming.

I don't think that 10% compliance with cease-fire terms is any better than having a heart muscle pumping at 10% efficiency. If my heart were to beat at some 10% efficiency I think I'd fall over dead.

Am I stupid or alone?
