Political Terrorism
It's very rare I take a side, attack a side, or bother with acknowledging sides at all in politics. But America is speeding in a dangerous direction.
Fact #1: Media focuses on the loss in the War on Terror.
Fact #2: Questioning of motives in the War on Terror.
Fact #3: Attacks made on current war plan. Suggestions: 0.
Fact #4: Laws conflict while attempting to please everyone.
Fact #5: Child molesters go unpunished.
Fact #6: "Insane" criminals apparently harmless due to insanity.
#1: War is costly. America no longer accepts this reality. A soldier dies, and liberal america uses this inevitibility to discredit Bush and the war. Are they also mad at our law enforcement system because cops die? Maybe we should just take all the police off the streets so none of them are killed. Much good has come out of the war, but we don't hear it on TV. That's defined as biased.
#2: Many people, driven by politics, question the motives of our president in the War on Terror. My question is, how do they know his motives? He will make decisions, good and bad. That's his job. Hopefully more of his decisions will be good. That is yet to be determined, as we can not view the future outcome of many of his decisions. But again, do liberals somehow possess the ability to see into a man's heart? Perhaps we should be basing more of our comments on his actions and less on our guesses. By the way, you hear very little about his daily decisions, but plenty about his secrets intentions.
#3: Current attacks on Bush's plan: countless. Realistic suggestions: 0. The proper process in criticizing anyone on their actions would be to first devise some degree of a reasonable alternative. It is far too easy to simply say "you're wrong" and end with that. Watch, I can do it: "You're wrong." See how easy that is? I personally think it would greatly improve this nation if Bush and his cabinet recieved a little valuable input. Note that they are the only ones in this country doing any real thinking at all. If someone has got a better plan that is possible and realistic, let's hear it. Wouldn't this be a better country if we all used our free speech rights to make helpful suggestions to the President rather than waste it with useless insults such as "You're wrong" and "Your intentions are bad"?
#4: America. Democracy. It's the only right way. Other systems only work in theory... blah blah blah. Anyone given thought to the possibility that maybe our own system only works in theory? Our country is ripped in a million directions because of our "total freedom to all" philosophy. The conflict is that when limits are not placed on freedoms, one freedom intrudes on another. First of all, some major areas of the Constitution have lost their original purpose and definition. Free Speech was originally intended to keep the people equal to the government, rather than each other, as is commonly mistaken today. Free Speech is meant to give citizens the right to criticize the government's actions. Even Webster would have trouble defining Free Speech as it is applied today. It is the sword in the sheath of total lawlessness, disorder, and chaos.
#5: Child molesters walk free. Heard about this yet? One case in which an illegal alien raped and killed a girl has a good chance of simply walking free. A professor at a university is recieving paid vacation while serving a short prison sentence for multiple child molestation convictions. In one case, a man served 2 years for molesting 2 children. Do you see anything wrong with this? And rehab is a proven joke. However, I don't find it funny that children are unprotected. If we can put down a dog that attacks a grown man, why can't we at least lock up a grown man who acts like an animal and attacks a child?
#6: The term "plea insanity" is something we hear daily. Prison is not to only to punish criminals, but to protect innocent citizens from crime. Or so I thought. What I have to ask is this: How does insanity make them harmless? And by the way, rehab does not cure insanity.
