Oh Billy, you dont want to know how that above action pained me so....I gotta tell ya I have been a Bush girl from day one...and I feel like I have been stabbed in the heart....but its not just by Bush, its the entire American political underbelly of our country...I am sitting outside the other day and I am taken back in my mind when I was liquidating my parents estate.....a light went on about so many things, all the silver and Gold coins they had, I thought it was just a crazy , the ammo and weapons, the stockpiles of various things that I thought was just a bunch of crap I had to get rid of...all the land...and the cash hidden...it was amazing...now after all is said and done, my parents knew what the potential of reckless government could do...and what it would take to survive it......oh and the tornado shelter!!!!umm guess it wasnt for tornados after all uh? oh did I mention the dry goods in metal storage containers??????jeez....so much for ignorant southern people uh?
I stayed away from any callous comment about Bush for one simple reason, our troops....I remember the Vietnam war, I remember the protest, the troops getting off planes and some "hippie" as they called them back then, spitting on these guys and carrying signs that said Baby-Killer on them, the pain of that has never left me, and I never wanted to be part of any group that would remotely give our guys pause for thought as to why they were where they were...even as I write this, I rationialize the premise behind Iraq, because I cant tolerate one more body bag coming home with a question mark on it...But as I research and boy have I been researching and reading every current affair book I can get my mind around, I am finding so much "bad judgement" on so many aspects of Government, its hard to include Iraq as being of totally sound and strategic planning, oh what a tangled web we weave.....I will tell you though, my father had a brother who died in Korea, I never met him, but I miss him and I miss what could have been with him, and I know my father did, everyday of his life.....Korea as they say was a "standup war" ....I cant even imagine losing my son in this conflict and looking back thirty years later ....I am rambling sorry...
