Good. We don't want him. Just sit back and watch the world's finest military save your arse, kid, whether you like it or not.
And before anyone goes off on "well, he's just a kid, and he has a right to say what he wants", I'll point out that at this rate, he will grow up, barring an intervention, into the same type of frothing leftist that we deal with everyday, the enemy within that must be defeated POLITICALLY; also, of course the kid can say what he wants, perhaps someday he'll realize that it's because people fought wars (which he calls "dumb") so that he could have and keep the right to speak freely; and yes, he has the right to speak. So the hell do I.
(btw, this is not a rant against you, dukeman. i just get rolling sometimes.)
When I saw this story in my morning newspaper (a NYT paper) I thought it could have been slanted even more negatively against Bush. The upcoming TV stories should be interesting.
9/11 and the following days were weird here in Sarasota. First, they scrambled to fly the President out of the local airport and some folks were concerned that he might be a target here in our town. My wife teaches school and some of the parents picked up their kids early out of fear.
And most people outside of the area don't know this, but we had a strong hit from tropical storm Gabrielle on 9/13. Many people lost their power for four or five days (very frustrating when you know your country is under attack).
On a personal level, I was eating lunch with my elderly mother in her home on 9/12 when she began to have what appeared to be a heart attack (turns out it wasn't). I called an ambulance and rode with her to the hospital. In the emergency room I sat next to her bed, watching split screen news coverage of the fallen Twin Towers and storm coverage of the approaching Gabrielle. I thought, "Terrorists. Tropical storm. Heart attack. What's next?"
It was a time like no other.
