I'm mad as ZELL!
I'm already past MY breaking point . . . although my nephew ordered me to apologize for my blunt comments and choice of words. So . . . to you and anyone else who read my post . . . I apologize if my words offended anyone.
I promised my nephew I'd post an apology and I did but NOW THAT I HAVE . . .
Just a little background . . . My Beloved nephew just returned from Iraq. He's the closest thing I'll ever have to a son.
Anyway, some friends and family came over last night to see him. My nephew took photos, kept a diary, and even made scrapbooks of the news he thought was important. It was the most enthralling two-hour presentation I've ever seen in my life. I was so excited after he finished that, after everyone else went to bed, I stayed up all night reading, re-reading, then crying with absolute rage while I pored over his scrapbooks the third time.
I'm still furious. Anyone who thinks our soldiers don't know what's going on at home when they're in the field of battle are CRAZY! And anyone who thinks our soldiers don't hear the comments made by traitors like Ted Kennedy and John Conyers and Carl Levin and Maxine Waters and . . . and . . . the Liberal list of traitors is endless.
AND THE SOLDIERS WHO ARE FIGHTING AND DYING FOR US HEAR EVERY TRAITOROUS WORD SPOKEN!!
I counted up EVERY news article, then separated them by "Good" news and "Bad" news. Want to take a guess as to what the percentage was??
22 to 1!!!!!
Need I say which one led the pack? I thought not.
And dammit to hell . . . I just can't help myself! I get so frickin' furious I just want to . . . want to . . .
I'll just say this . . . the worst of the worst had best be glad I'm old, fat, and disabled or they would have a real buzz-saw on their hands.
I spent three hours begging my nephew to let me write up a "Vanity" thread for Free Republic. I told him my fellow FReepers would go absolutely bonkers if they knew what was going on. I know, intellectually, we "think" we know how bad things are in the MSM . . . but, trust me, we don't have a clue. If you know someone who has been to Iraq, ask them to see their "REAL" scrapbooks . . . not the ones they give to Mom and Dad . . . but the REAL ones they keep to give to their kids sometime in the future. My nephew tells me nearly everyone he knew kept one. Read the brutally honest truth of what our soldiers have to go through and, believe me, EVERY FReeper will be just as angry as I am.
Alas . . . my nephew won't let me drop the hammer . . . not yet, not until "it's all over and no one will get into trouble." He said I wasn't even supposed to read some of his stuff.
One day though . . . one day. Us family members have been compiling all of our emails from our loved ones and there will come a day when the emails and all these "real" scrapbooks will see the light of day.
In the meantime, I will no longer give ANY politician a free pass . . . whether they be a RINO or a Liberal. Anyone who endangers our troops is fair game . . . whether they be black, brown, red, yellow, purple, white, Gay, Lesbian, rich, poor, or any combination there-of.
I can't do much . . . but I know thousands of FReepers who can.
