I got this "wonderful" email today...sheesh
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 09:49 PM by schoolteacherpam
Pam...I found your name on the MOB web site while searching the internet for other political information. I must say that I'm concerned that you're a teacher in the city of Wichita, where my daughter and family happen to live. Your comment about the Iraq war shows you to be uninformed about what's really going on in our world. Although this same comment has been heard from the left for many months now, I would say that information since learned has opened most people's eyes to the fact that Iraq and Afghanistan ARE important areas to control in this global War On Terrorism.

Although none of us want to see our brave military harmed in any way, one must realize that those in the military are there by choice. They've dedicated a certain phase in their lives to be of service to their country. They are in no more danger than a policeman, a fireman, or many other "service" personnel just doing their risky, but necessary, jobs. To intimate that President Bush yanked these young people right out of their living rooms to go fight an unjust war is totally untrue and unfair. Our military do their job with pride and conviction, and most of them get very angry when they hear people like you condemn their Commander in Chief, as well as their mission to protect and defend this country and all that it stands for.

Hopefully Kansas is enough of a conservative state that you won't get much momentum with your group in Wichita. I will be hoping and praying that something will make you see the light and change your mind. God Bless America, our troops, and President Bush!

Sincerely,

Deana Higgins, Hugoton, KS

1. Eeewww
That's creepy. And I still don't get how the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are defending our freedom. I don't mean to be a dolt, but how did Iraqis and Afghanis threaten our freedom? Did they want to invade our country and occupy it, like we did to theirs?

2. They did volunteer, and that is why the President must be
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY careful when he sends them to war.
Bush was not careful, he ignored all sorts of chances to peacefully resolve the Iraq war and facts that show that Hussein was not capable of what he lied to us about, to do what he has done. If there is justice in this world, the blood he has spilled would appear on his hands.

3. Holy S**T!
I'm hoping and praying that BushCo will adopt this bunch of loonies and take them back to Crawford when they leave Washington. How many cops were blown up by car bombs in the last week? Decade?? Ever??? Sick sick sick...

teacher and that concerns her. You aren't allowed an opinion then? What are your rights? Do you have any recourse? What's next checking on what religion you are? How often are you in church? It cracks me up that she believes your politics are going to rub off on her kids. Shows how insecure she really is. My god just think they might develop their own personalities, thoughts, and belief systems. She didn't give birth for that! She wanted mini me's only. What a loser.
