I am always amazed at the reaction of the American people to various events. I am setting on the local circuit court jury this month, so have plenty of hurry up and wait time in the local court house.
Yesterday a gentleman struck up a conversation with me about the Cheney/Edwards debate. He started right off by telling me he thought Edwards did a fine job and that Cheney seemed bewildered by Edwards answers. As the conversation continued he told me he had two sons in the military and both had been to Iraq. I told him I had spent 25 years wearing a uniform and understood the sacrifices being made each and every day by our young men and women in uniform. I told him that I had spent a year in Viet Nam with no purple heart, but that I felt it was time well spent, and that without the young soldiers we have now in harm's way we would have more 9/11's.
He just simply clammed up. No response or reply, just pure silence. Later in the day I was approached by a man of about 30 who thanked me for my service and told me that I was 100% right on track. That if the Kerry/Edwards team gets control of the Whitehouse it will make Klintoon's eight years seem like a stroll in the park. He elaborated on how Kerry would give in to every foreign government and the UN on national security issues. His one problem with Bush is the lack of a solid policy on keeping our borders with Mexico and Canada secure.
That's because you made him think. God bless you for doing so.
I believe there are many, many more like the second individual who talked to you than the cabal comprehends. I pray it is so.
I have plenty of issues with Bush, but they pale when set against Kerry. I agree with you 100% on the borders.
Second guy was dead on......most of us have the same mindset IMO.
Jury duty huh ?? Even though I get paid by my employer for jury duty if the case is BS may canned answer during the potential jury duty questioning is always ..............Hang the SOB !
Thank You , You are dismissed.........:o)
