feeling is mutual-- the blog!

If I knew that stating my personal opinion would get me into so much trouble I would've kept it to myself like the Department of Homeland Security wants. See the comment to my March 8th post as well as at Dave's site .
"Nonsensical liberal rhetoric"... I've never claimed that people who are pro-war are only stating conservative rightwing rhetoric. What's the deal guys? Why are conservatives so mean? And for the record, while I might be more liberal than Pat Buchanan I'm hardly the biggest Democrat on the block. I'm pretty much straight down the middle independant although I'm not sure why my political leanings should factor into the fact that I think a war with Iraq at this time is just plain wrong. I also never claimed Bush was an absolute monarch and if you'll look at Jay's paper, he states that, although these types of actions are most often displayed by absolute monarchs, democratic leaders can also fall prey to poor foreign policy decisions if left unchecked.
Do you truly believe that we're doing the right thing? In your heart of hearts, if you ignore your particular party loyalties or personal ideologies, do you think this is a good idea? If so then way to go, back the president and support the war whole heartedly. That's your view and your opinion. Me? I have a very bad feeling about all this.

Mr. Bush...you had my support for so long. I stayed up all night on the eve of your almost election to root you on. I praised your response to September 11th and was proud of your statement after the Columbia disaster. I defended you to those that would question your integrity or intelligence. I was happy to see a Christian leader in the White House, a man who truly seemed to stand behind his faith and didn't just claim religion for votes. I was fully behind your war against "terra." But alas sir, no disrespect meant, I'm against your war. We are the instigator. For now we are the imminent threat. This is not a justifiable war.
...but then that's my opinion on things and you, of course, are intitled to your own.
P.S. As infantile as it may seem, I will continue to call Dubya "George Bush, Texas Ranger." Partly because I don't think he would be entirely displeased by that title and partly because it just amuses me ok? And really guys, how mature is it to call the French Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys? I mean really...the hypocrisy abounds if you pay attention to it. Alright, my curry is getting cold...I'm leaving now.
