Support the troops. End the war.

I am going to wear my Support the troops. End the war. T-shirt tomorrow to work. I'm sure I will be reprimanded, but I don't care. This war has gone on long enough. It is time for every American to let Congress, your neighbors and the world know that Americans are not behind this President or anyone who acts to keep this war going. I'll let you know what the response is from my customers and the man.

Support the troops. End the war.

UPDATE
5-29-7 Well, I did not hear any disagreement over the shirt today. I saw many smiles and one man said he liked my shirt. He went on to say that he was in the Air force for 30 years and that his son was now on his fourth tour in Iraq. All I could do was offer prayers for his son's safe return and say we as a people must hold our elected leaders accountable and take back our democracy. He agreed, seem to pause for a moment, then dropped his head and walked away.

I can only think that he was saying a prayer right there for his son that is in harms way for oil. I'm sure I will talk to this man more in the future and hopefully it will be after the safe return of his son and all of our men and women. Next year we will be memorializing over 1,000 more Americans, and for what is their sacrifice?

Another star

I have seen Val. Before Ohshit gets to excited, it was not Doc. I have seen a Val who should have never been a celebrity, but she is hot enough to be. It is weird to think that there are people walking among us that could kill us just as soon as look at us if someone above them deemed it necessary.

By now I'm sure you have guessed I have conversed with the outed CIA agent Valerie Plame-Wilson. She says she likes Santa Fe, but I got the impression that she would prefer to be still serving her country and protecting us from faulty intelligence and our own leaders in Washington. I guess she will get to be a hero on a daily basis now to her twin 7 year olds.

I would like to wish her good luck in Santa Fe and with her case against Cheney, Rove, Libby, and Armitage.

America the Great???

After watching the Republican debate last night, I realized that America is doomed if any of those idiots is elected President. What a bunch of old white War-mongers and unregulated capitalist pigs. A stage full of woman hating, racist, Christianity loving(not Christ loving) pigs. All invoking the name of the late Ronald Reagan like he was a good thing for America. We have already had our 6 years of Reagan like rule under Bush and we have to put up with 2 more unless the Democrats in congress grow a spine and impeach his sorry ass. America can not stand the kind of leadership that the G.O.P. (Gay Obliterating Punks) have to offer.

I truly believe that which ever Democrat comes out of the primary will have a walk in the general. Hopefully the Democrats can win enough seats in the Senate to have a filibuster proof majority and can at least for 2 years get this country back onto the right track.

Until America once again becomes a leader on the world stage, whether that means admitting you were wrong about Iraq and bullying the rest of the world to accept your will or following other countries leads when it comes to global warming, we have relegated ourselves to empty apologies.

It is time for not only rich Americans to pay their fair share but for middle class Mcmansion Americans to stop living outside their means. It is time for a leader to ask for real sacrifice from us and us to stand and deliver for the future. We have lived off the backs of the greatest generation long enough and now it is time to stand and deliver for the next generation.

It is time for America to once again lead by example, and not by force. If we can get our house in order then we could get the rest of the world to follow our lead.

Answers to all our problems are out there, all we have to do is stop listening to the fear mongers and nay-sayers and implement them.

It is time for America to be looked upon as a leader again. We do not have to be feared to be a leader, but we have to have a vision for the future. We have to show leadership to be followed. We can no longer just think we have the answers and expect the rest of the world to follow.

The Republicans offer nothing but revisionist history and more of the last 6 years. America deserves better and will get it in 626 days.
