Subject: NOW YOU GET MAD?!?
We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, now you get mad!
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to
dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no
threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said
illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in
Iraq .
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping
Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of
our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare
Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same
services that Medicare provides.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and
our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars,
lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich
richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell
no.

I have a question that I cannot seem to get answered.
If we are not the champions for the underdogs in the middle east, who will be? The women over there are horribly mistreated. They have no rights and are treated like dogs. The young men are taught to hate to the point that they blow themselves up. I hate it that our young men and women are there. I have a nephew and a good friend there. But as compassionate women, do we just turn our backs on them? I have other friends who have been in both Afghanistan and Iraq, one on a mission trip and the other as a dentist in the Army and they both say that the people are very glad that we are there protecting them. "The Kite Runner" was a very good glimpse of the horror that the Afghanis have lived under. America is the last hope for freedom.
Also, what about the threat to national security? They would love to blow us all up.
Your thoughts?
