Editor:

How can it be that 41 percent of Americans fully support the Bush Administration? I've so often wondered: Do these people not know all of the horror this current administration has caused for America, and our total loss of respect around the world?

Are these voters not the least bit concerned about all the lies, deceit, and behind closed door meetings that has led to this illegal Iraqi war? Why aren't they all in a rage about the deaths of nearly 820 of our soldiers, and the maiming of well over 4500 soldiers? Yes, these soldiers have suffered lifelong wounds and death, but all in vain. That's right, it's all been in vain.

Of course 99 percent of these soldiers served with great honor and distinction. But, it's all been for an illegal, unnecessary, and private war over oil. To say nothing of the cost to us taxpayers of well over 120 billion, and still counting. What do you bet, if all the oil wells in Iraq had run dry 20 years ago, do you think for a moment the Bush/Cheney faction would give one whit about the Iraqi people? This administration has a penchant for linking "terrorism" -think 9/11 - to every comment they make. Cut taxes for the super rich and the corporations, send our jobs overseas, cut the social benefits for the poor, "hiss" the term "liberal" as if it was a dirty four-letter word. And calla program by some good sounding name, but turn around and do just the opposite. This administration has such a vile hate for anyone who is not rich and not a big contributor to the Republican Party.

But, I soon realized something. These "Bush Supporters" would elect "Attila the Hun" to our White house if he promised these features: put religion into all public schools, courts, and government offices. Remove any laws restricting gun ownership. Deport all homosexuals. Make the death penalty apply to overtime parking. Ban abortions for all reasons. And make those awful, disgusting immigrants go back to where they came from.

Well, we haven't had a "true" democracy in America for well over 100 years. Nope. Our elections are 100 percent under the control of the super rich and the giant corporations. What's next? Will it take another revolution to regain the great nation of America as we once knew it? Dare I hope?

Comments? Care to guess which paragraph may have brought the agents? Does it strike any of you that our 1st Amendment rights have been flushed down the toilet? I've written letters to various newspapers similar to this one, are they watching me now too?
