Ok, if this ends up as a double posting, I am truly sorry.
Ok, Mage, those promises all seem to basically what he promised in the healthcare bill, as far as I can tell. While this is good (I truely hope, no I mean truly hope that this will not backfire on our nation) What is the percent of promises made, to promises kept? Obama made a lot of promises, much more than 188 or so. And much of what is on the sight is true, but those promises can be summed up into three or four speeches. What is the percentage of promises made to promises kept?
Mage, thank you very much for using a reliable source, by the way!
Ok, next item I want to address, someone said that Obama spends very little money in office. please look at the link that shows what promises Obama kept, almost every one of them involve a lot of spending. How much would that cost? Plus all the other stuff that Obama has been doing. How much will the new Obama-care cost for example?
And finally the third item I would like to address.
911 itself was a threat against our country. Innocent people died because of An overseas organized group of terror-ist's,
(I say Organized group for I do not think that broad generalizations of religions are right,[/i] at least most of the time)
What was the country to do?(notice I did not use President Bush) Sending out diplomats to try and reason with people that hate our guts, and are willing to die, just so they can kill Americans would be serving diplomatic sheep to a maniacal butcher...
Ignorance would make it worse, we would be attacked a ton, on our own soil, and not just from one country. Others who could see that America would not retaliate, but instead cower in fear. They would have sent explosive packages to make sure that we would not interfere with whatever plans they had in mind...
If we just armed our own soil, they would have laughed and send more men in to gorilla in and destroy whatever they could. we would catch a few, perhaps we would have caught most, but what about the ones that we wouldn't be able to detect? They wouldn't care about their own casualties, and would have loved to kill as many Americans as they possibly could.
It is also our duty of our country to help those country's in which by themselves they couldn't protect their people. And the terrorists were also terrorizing Iran as well as Iraq and Afghanistan.
No war isn't a good thing, but comparatively? The Alternatives are Wrong. Many more innocents would die unneeded deaths. No one in this country would be unaffected by it.
[i]Wether through the death's of the dearest, or through the affects of unpleasant security measures.
I Salute those who gave their lives for this country in which I am blessed to live in, Not only from wars present, but to those past as well. For Those who gave their lives to protect me, to protect us, to protect our country. I wish to Especially salute those who died in the battle of Pearl Harbor, World War I, World War II, Battle of 1812, and the American Revolution.
To those men who possess more bravery and patriotism than that I could never posses.
No, war is not a good thing, but a war to save those who wish to see a better life for not themselves, but those who surround them, both the unborn and the living is not a just a cause, but a needed cause...
I am tired, but I wish those who read this to see sence. I do not claim to be sensible, YOU must be the judge of what is right and what is wrong. if you disagree, by all means, who can stop you?
But if you agree, do not agree necessarily to every little thing I say. I am human, er, I mean crustacean after all...
