Remember the question asked by the RW: "What shall we tell our children?
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 11:28 AM by keithyboy
Well, I ask it again. In light of the everything that is going on now with the WI kidnapping? The incidents in Fallujah. After over 10,000 Irai civilians killed or maimed and over 600 US military killed and over 3,000 maimed by our invasion of Iraq. After Medigate, Plame, Cheney's energy panal, and all the lying going on by the Bush administration.
What the hell do we tell our children now?

That it's ok to lie if you are lying to the government, Congress, and the people. That's its ok to kill people to take their possessions and lie about it? That it's ok to smear people just because they disagree with you? It's ok to excuse brutality as long as it your brutality or the brutality of your allies? That you should support the President not matter what, even if he tell lies, misleads, and causes great harm to the country? That people hate us because of our freedoms? That other people, especially yellow, brown, black, people have no right to their own lands, their own governments, or their own natural resources?
That up is down, and good is evil, evil is good? That God should bless America and nobody else? That government is bad when it wants to help people but good when it wants to wage war and help corporations?

WTF do we tell them now?

2. we.....tell the truth
and use it as a lesson of what we dont want to be. that we are better than this. that history repeats itself until learned. a wonderful opportunity to see clearly. our life will be in grace if we can do this in love, and gotta get out of the panhandle of texas soon, ........bah ha ha ha

this has all been 4 years of wonderful experience in not allowing someone to create fear for you, or decide who you are, the right and obligation to speak, and see the hypocrisy. to refresh our memory on what jesus, god,.........universal law, what our forefounders wanted for us. to learn our history and learn how to hear lie in feel and how to speak truth in ease.

my kids are 6 and 9, they know the parties, and the platforms and look at the human behavior. they have listened to bush and listened to kerry,.

what this will be for our children, is what we will help to create for them. just as we did with what clinton gave us in lesson in his mistakes.

when children sit in peace and love and security and structure, they can do these things cause it is not directly touching them. the children that dont have that will spin out of control as we have watched the last decade.

or two

btw i have aa on thruout the day, and the boys sat at table last nite as i cook, and littlest says i bit that is a democrat. yes i say, we dont get to hear them often. and we had conversation on. was interesting.

That's why we (Liberal moderate and progressive Democrats and Independents) must win this war of semantics and double speak the fascists are waging in their quest to contol everything.
