It's that time of year again, when I send out the latest updates for the year. And what a year indeed! First, I must get in my "told you so!" Yep, Bush is flushing 10 years of prosperity down the toilet faster than you can say Hail Mary! Fortunately the devastation has not yet hit us too hard in Colorado. Matthew is in kindergarten, Sean in second grade. Marsha is working at home with an Internet based order entry job. My work is going well, the economy has not yet hit us. We went to Montana to see Aunt Lisa this summer. We put a TV and VCR in the Caravan and it actually went fairly well. So travel is now becoming more possible. Lucy has chewed up everything and is now bigger than Matthew. She is a Golden Retriever and we hope to breed her next year. We want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and that next year will bring better times for us all.
OK, so I lost a lot of investment money this year, but Mr. Bush got us a 600.00 rebate check! I would have rather seen it go to a prescription drug benefit for the elderly. Yes, the Grinch stole our prosperity and gave it to the rich. I would bet my salvation that Jesus does not approve of the Republican economic policy, especially right around the holidays. Of course, there is the convenient excuse of September 11th. As we return to the memories of the 80's, let us consider the 241 unarmed marines who died in Lebanon. The cargo planes full of weapons sent to Iran in exchange for hostages, to Bin Laden to fight the Soviets and to Saddam to fight Iran. I believe Dubya is doing a good job of cleaning up the mess his Dad left, but the economy was tanking long before 9-11. Don't insult this country by having a draft dodger use terrorism created from his dad's mistakes to give money to the rich. It turns out the anthrax was domestic with the culprit (like Oklahoma City) having Right wing Politics. The FBI reached that conclusion as only Liberals have been targeted. Surely Mr. Ashcroft will solve the case. Let's hope the war on terrorism will focus on the American Taliban next, our own right wing.
I have a holiday recipe for fundamentalist soufflé - mix a heavy dose of fundamentalism with government, with easy access to guns. Mix in some religion based education with low tax rates and school vouchers. Skin away all investment in infrastructure, diverting all resources to the military. Strip away social programs with a clever, then beat the women until they are tender. Remove all intellectuals and then sprinkle with school prayer. Bake for 10 years and then simmer until buildings start blowing up. Any intolerant religion works nicely!
I hope you've used the $600.00 rebate check for the prescription medication you so desperately need. Please write when you are once again mentally capable.
Love,
Your Cuz
All you can do is try to point him in the right direction (FreeRepublic),
and pray he will see some light in his pitch dark skull.
Everybody's stock portfolios started going south after the Spring of 2000 while Clinton was still in office. That marked the end of the Clinton Economic Bubble.
Your cousin might also want to explain how giving more money to the Government as taxes during a recession does anything to shorten a recession.
Send him an email using this quote and tell him you printed it on toilet paper and think of him every time you use it.
This can also be printed on low-quality toilet paper if anyone wants to do it justice.
Tell him to shut the f*** up and stop sending this Liberal brainwashed garbage to your house trying to incite an argument or you'll drive to the cave he's living in and rip his lung's out and feed them to him in front of his children.
That should get his attention.
I mean, you obviously can't have a rational discussion about politics with this wanker so you might as well play his game and try to get a rise out of him.
Tell him he's so lucky to have a cousin like you who would publish his letter on a public site with his name attached. Then sign yourself up for some classes in manners.......pronto.
Now you know how I felt under the horrible eight years of Clinton and his band of thugs.
Thank God George W. Bush won the election.
My only Christmas wish is you suffer less than I did.
Your loving Cousin

We'll see if this is the case... we will see.
Gore was a war reporter, and had unofficial "bodyguards" assigned to keep him out of trouble. He never saw combat.
Bush was allowed under strange circumstances to join the Texas Air National Guard, and he never even showed up on base for the last month of his stint. He never saw combat, either.
People like him hate it when you use thewir own self-righeousness against them.
Wow, that is a heck of a statement, I pray I never make fool of myself that causualy. To bet your salvation on a worldly political scheme shows a great disrespect for one's own soul. I would dare say Jesus probable doesn't think a whole lot about anything man made, republican or democratic. HE would probable care about the governments respect of his laws and that government represented a terror to those that are evil. Clinton did not care about evil, just his own butt. I would rather have a God fearing man in office than any world class economy. If I remember correct the economy started faltering when the US sued Microsoft during the last summer of Clintons term. Not that I blame Clinton, the economy has always had its ups and downs, and will continue to have them no matter who is in office. That is just the way it goes.
