Working too much, no time for blogging anymore. So sad.
Not that it matters, no one reads this anyhow and I realize this is more a journal of political thoughts that I drop in on from time to time...
If you do read this, THANKS! and Sorry for no posting since Christmas!
The big State of the Union came up earlier this week and as a result an old friend asked via e-mail what kind of questions woudl YOU ask the President if you could. I came up with this:
#1) Mister President, I understand your dissatisfaction with those of your 'critics' who appear to be fighting 'battles of the past' and continue to use 'hindsight' as wisdom and 'criticism' as a strategy. However, I can't help but notice that most of the current woes of today appear to be a direct result of YOUR actions. Yet you wish to have debate without dissent and apparently without taking any responsibility for your past actions that, even to the layperson paying minimal attention, appear to be best described as direct consequences of your misguided (at best) actions. Please tell me what kind of debate should we be having?
#2) I like the "America" you describe in your State of the Union address. I really wish I could live there where the union is strong and there is hope for the future. Alas, I live in the America where none of what you talked about is readily visible or tangible what-so-ever. Can I borrow $200,000,000.00 so I can join YOUR America?
#3) Your continued use of scare tacticts and patriotic pride when talking about your probably illegal NSA wiretapping is diverting from the actual argument this issue presents. We all want Al Queada stopped if possible and if they are talking to people here on the phone and it would benefit us to listen to them then I am all for it! No one wants to "sit back and get hit again." That being said, all you have to do is either get FISA approval on any domestic wiretaps (that 72 hour loophole is handy so that you can maintain your speedy work) and/or have Congress legally approve of your well documented (albeit secret) actions. So my question is, do you think they will play the tape of the State of the Union of you admitting that you are basically violating fourth ammendment rights and that you somehow have Steven-Seagal-as-President powers (Above the Law) during the Impeachment inquiry?
3a) And by the way, please stop assuming and connecting people who oppose your tactics both past and present, your strategies and your freaking war that we all somehow are a) cowards b) hate or otherwise don't support the troops c) hate America. If any of that were true we wouldn't bother bringing up any of this in the first place.
#4) Last but not least, will you admit publicly that Chuck Norris would and could kick your crazy ass!? http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/
