My letter to the editor on the State of the Union;

To The Editor:

I am absolutely astonished at the coverage the media gave to Bush’s state of the union address. The media reported on the speech as if it were real, instead of another in a five year long series of propaganda events. How can anyone take what this man says seriously? He is the most dishonest, unethical, arrogant, criminal President in this nation’s history. This man has broken the law by illegally spying on American citizens without warrants. He should be impeached and thrown in jail. Yet, here we have the media fawning over this President’s words as if they are true! Everything this man says is either a outright lie, or a severe distortion of fact. His assertions can literally be disproved in a matter of minutes by researching through a simple Google search on the internet. Go to any number of the dozens of sites devoted to documenting and disproving the President’s lies; Bushlies.com, bushwatch.com, bushlies.net, truthout.org, etc. Read the endless litany of lies this man has spouted. Then, tell me why any thinking person should take any of his current or future statements as having any merit in reality. Tell me why the American people should show anything but disdain and intolerance for being betrayed constantly by their leader? This man’s words deserve no respect. The media should not give his propaganda any credibility. I am astounded that after five years of this man’s constant dishonesty, anyone could review or analyze this annual address as anything other then Orwellian spin. There is no need for in depth editorials or analysis. I can sum it up in a few short words. Bush lied to the American people at his annual state of the union address….again.

1. Well said.

2. And what are the odds that they will print it?

Great letter, my guess is the word "LIES", narrows the chances of that.

3. I live in Massachusetts, my paper MIGHT print it

Although I did write another very strong letter that blasted Bush without mercy - that didn't get published. I will post it on the board with a link if it does....
