It amazes me how and why many intelligent patriotic Americans can ignore obvious truths because of their hate for Bush. I’ve dedicated my life, well at least the last twelve years, to helping people less fortunate than I am. I work mostly with people who have severe and persistent mental disabilities. I’m used to good people living in worlds that to them are just as real as what you and I struggle in daily. I’m also use to helping without confrontations; we build personal trust without challenging reality or perceived reality. We can help with the basics of everyday life; we can improve if not reality then at the least a perception of love and concern that can only be achieved with sincerity. I do what I do for many reasons none of which are complicated. I prayed, the first time, that Gods will be done in my life. Twenty minutes later a friend called and offered me a much lower paying job than I already had. I laughed, said no thank you and hung up the phone. Over dinner that night I told my wife and daughter about the offer and how crazy I would have to be to accept that job; My wife ask me if I had written my letter of resignation and said she knew where we could get this cut little place in the country real cheep. She knew then that in my struggle to stay sober I needed to change most of my life, so somehow I took a job in social service. I love what I do, I help people; with food, shelter, employment, medication, medical treatment, childcare and socialization when possible. I tell you all of this in an effort to help clarify why I continue to expose the truth of politics. There is no hate in my heart and I have never attacked the person of a sitting President, nor will I ever. Impartial research, or at least research without BDS, is easy and fun. The internet gives us all access to a plethora of information previously hidden from average Americans. We are in a crises and finger pointing should take a back seat to serious steps to minimize national, then worldwide repercussions. But the truth should never be ignored or history rewritten in an attempt to use our hardship for party gain. I will jump start your research with an article from Pamela Gellar; one of those truly beautiful, intelligent, women that drive feminist crazy. I know, she is conservative; what do you expect form me…but note…you are all my friends and fellow countrymen/women, despite political views, social concerns or religious faith, your future is my future. Our kids will grow and pursue happiness in the future of this country. At some point, survival will dictate unity based on shared humanity; we aren’t there yet but if we continue to allow a few from the two extremes to create national and world policy we will be in trouble. Good reading and God bless;
