confusing sentiment
While I don’t think drilling on Route 1 will yield much oil, I understand the author’s frustration with the political gang in charge. Any drilling will put the fear into OPEC that we are serious about our National Energey policy. Heck those politician might even get out of the way of folks who want nuclear power.
As far as “support our troops”, if they were mine, they’d be home now.
“Win the war; live in peace” is also confused. What war? Did Congress declare “war” and I didn’t hear about it?
Maybe the person meant all the other “wars” — War on (Some) Drugs, War on Poverty, War on Terror, War on Cigarettes, War on Honest Money, War on Education, War on War, … … think it’s an over used word?
Why don’t the Swiss have such problems? They MYOB!
In 1980, the voters elected Regan for smaller government; bigger government, higher taxes, lower tax rates. In 1988, they elected “No New Taxes” GHW Bush; higher taxes and spending. In 1992, they elected Clinton who promised a middle class tax cut; higher taxes and more spending. In 2000, they elected GW Bush for “compasionate conservatism” and a “humble foreign policy”; we got more government spending than Clinton, war around the globe, and facism here at home. (Been to an airport lately? It like a moive depicting the Nazis!) In 2006, the nation threw out the R’s to get peace; More war! In pre-Presidential primary polling, 70% of the nation wanted an end to the various “wars”; what do both political parties nominate — pro-war candidates.
So, I understand the author’s frustration.
We have to “Gandhi” the political gang in charge. Just laugh at them and call them out for what they are — tyrants, ruling at the barrel of a gun. Don’t think so? Try not paying their tribute or kowtowing to them. You’ll see who is the slave and who is the master really quick.
Hint: It ain’t you!
