Something to think about (but not too long)

[Xringshooter]

I was sent this and thought that whoever wrote it was pretty good.

If Bush resigned today, this is what his speech should be.....

Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans."
Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit.

Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office. The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.

Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.
We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?..You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight.

I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'

Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit.

I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too.

That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.


What do you think?

[LorDiego01]

I think its retarded to say the least.

Blame it on Clinton.

Then say that Democrats are supporting Al-Quaeda.

Sure its cute, but anybody falling for it, well...

probably voted for that a-hole in the first place.

+1 LorDiego01...I think he should mention his cowardly evasiveness of the draft when it was his chance to "serve and protect our country," and he should probably not turn this into "i made America safer" with his bogus "cause" of a war, he should not try and undermine the importance of oil as the cause, (of course we also get oil from Venezuela and Saudi, but who is Venezuela partnered with....IRAN!! aka the axis of unity) so if the SHTF, we will need a new oil reserve. Oh and he shouldnt mention it but he should go back to school and make up for his C+ average college degree(so that we the people, can at least believe that he tried), i mean he's the president for crying out loud, shouldnt he be a little brighter than that. and nothing against these grades, that doesnt mean one is dumb or less smart, but HIS grammatical incorrectness and vocabulary and inarticulate speeches...DO...lol..dont get mad at me, just food for thought.

[LorDiego01]

I hear ya dude!

What about running on a small government platform...

then growing the size and expenditure of said government more than every single president in the past..

TOGETHER.

Thanks xring.
What I find most interesting are the replys to your post.

[LittleRedToyota]

What do you think?

i could see bush actually spewing that crap...is that what you meant by "what do you think?"

(well, except for the part about cheney quitting...i don't think even bush could believe that would actually happen.)

You know you Democrat's have nothing better to do than blame everything on those poor Republicans, maybe if you took the same time to come up with some ideas to rectify the situations you complain about instead of simply beating down the Republicans you might get somewhere. Don't get me started on the Republicans who blame some of there failures on the Democrats and go back to the last Democrat who was in office to say they started this and now I'm left to clean it up. I don't think I'm only person fed up with both political parties look at Bushes ratings and look at the Democratic congress's rating. Both parties are power hungry, corrupt, and guilty of blatant disregard for the American people. The single reason I like Bush is he made a decision right or wrong he made the decision and he stuck with it without letting the press or pubic or far far left or far far right break him. I don't know if we will ever know everything that went into the decision to go to war but in this day and age I don't believe that that information should be in the hands of the general public. I think covert operations and information should stay that way. The worst part is I don't know if we as a country have what it takes to change the system as it stands today, we seem to like instant results it took years to get where we are today and will take years to fix it. This is just my rant and does not necessarily reflect the views of PAFOA
