recently, i was put on a "mass" email from an old acquaintance who had recently had an "epiphany" after years of drifting further and further into the dark side- which is why i refer to him as an acquaintance, when i used to call him friend. anyway some of those who received the mail were good sensible folk, while others obviously(because of his personal beliefs, he congregated with those who held similar right-of-center views) were not.
i'm not posting the original email, but rather a response that came to me from rick the repuke who apparently hit 'reply all', thinking that everyone would be interested in his take. i wasn't, you won't be- but i'd like to get some responses to send back rude rick's way...
"Folks, At what point will people start to realize that others are responsible for their own actions. A Nobel Peace Prize winner can pontificate about the evils of America all he wants, it does not relieve others (Radical Islam, Al Qaeda, France & Russia's business dealings with Iraq) of their responsibilities in creating and permitting the evils of the world. The attitude that America caused, then made worse the current situation is at best naive and at worst hypocritical. You may say that Iraq was not a threat to America. This is the same attitude that got 6,000,000 jews incinerated. How many mass graves need to be uncovered in Iraq before people know that it (the invasion of Iraq) was a good and proper thing. Liberating 40,000,000 people from tyranny is an absolute good. Discussing all the humanitarian actions on the part of the American (Bush) Gov't in contrast to it's supposed evils would be a proper thing to do. My concern is that the media does not report those good actions, and many of you do not want to listen. Thank You, Rick "
i'm going to mention to rick for one thing that although he may find the liberation of 40million from tyranny- that's not what we we told going in- plus we were told the cost to the american taxpayer would be about $1.3billion- we're now at over 300 billion and climbing- predicted to top $1 trillion- and how are we going to pay for getting the other peoples around the world out of tyranny? burma, the sudan, rwanda, etc...
morans really get me steamed...
have at him if you will-
