I'm reminded of a Robinson Crusoe story from Bastiat ...

Robinson Crusoe, shortly after washing ashore on a remote island, had need of a long (thirty foot long) wooden plank; so he looked around, spotted a tree, and decided he'd start the next day by using an axe to chop down the tree -- and then trim the trunk into a plank.

Crusoe estimated it to be a three week job.

At dawn, Crusoe went to the tree, lifted the axe and ... suddenly ... he spotted what looked like a plank floating into the beach on a wave.

Crusoe ran down, splashed into the water, and ... he had the plank, and ... It was perfect.

But instead of takiing the plank from the sea, Crusoe pushed it out, he shoved it over the waves, and he watched it float away in the current.

Crusoe then went to work on his tree.

He had saved his job from cheap foreign imports.

**sending to Iraq**

I'd love to know M's reaction. :o)

[quietolong]

True. And there easy to spot. Some nonsense counter to conservatism and then the first 4 or 5 post agree with it.
But are we afraid to debate them even if there is some truth in them Just censure them like a leftist rat would do.

Dear DNC:

Thank you for giving the opportunity to speak my mind.

I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president, I worked in a prosperous enterprise. But in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor.

This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions. They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job. This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years. Not a single government program was there to help me. How can Bush call himself "compassionate?"

Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply had nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career.

I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you a Christian!

If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democratic party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000, I guarantee I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Regards,

Saddam Hussein

I'm emailing this to about a gazillion people. :o)

[cyborg]

Yes like crossing the streams of a proton pack.

[dancusa]

Someone has to post your letter to the DU site.I'd love to see their reaction!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Betcha a million dollars we're going to see hundreds of these letters floating around the editorials in the next 10 months; minus the SH signature.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

It almost got me too.

Great post!

[Travis McGee]

OUTSTANDING!

[Cultural Jihad]

Point of fact, it wasn't his letter. A FReeper named "Our man in washington" wrote it on January 12th. See the link in this thread for the source of the letter.

[DrDeb]

EXCELLENT!!!

[Once-Ler]

Thanx for the hearty laugh.
