The Great Brother Debate 2004

TX. to NYC:

How about that election? Four more years, four more years, four more years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I guess that Micheal Moore is not the best person to listen to!


NYC to TX.

Originally, I had no intention of replying to your last posting because the truth of the matter is that I am pretty indifferent to the whole shebang, but then I thought..well….nah!
So here we go soldier boy. I find it almost laughable that you would cite an assumed lack of research on my part. You see, while you have spent the last 14 years of your life getting thin and buffed by running around, taking orders from people with inflated senses of self importance on power trips, I have been sitting and getting fat….reading. While it is your job to be the “muscle” that defends this great nation, it is my job (as well as my passion) to read and research. First order of business would have to be your assertion that I have garnered my knowledge (which is ample) from watching a mediocre documentary. This is simply not true. In fact the greatest knowledge that I possess is that which I have garnered from being a thinking man – as in original thought. But as long as you bring it up, let me ask you this; do you know anything at all about libel or slander laws? I do. And one might wonder why - if Mr. Moore’s film was so filled with non-truths - the leader of the free world, a man with unlimited resources, would not pursue any libel and/or slander suits against said film maker? Hmmmmm. But of much more urgency is the fact that you use the word “Utopian” as if it is a bad thing. Are you an admitted warmonger? That would be bad on many levels not the least of which would be an intrinsic, coinciding and parallel admission of pure ignorance. Furthermore you seem to assume that Senator Kerry is “my candidate”. Did I tell you who I voted for? If so, I don’t recall but I assure you that a write in ballot on behalf of Mickey Mouse could prove no worse than the man who eventually won the election. Moving on; Are you quite certain that Senator Kerry did not vote against more military funding in Iraq long before it was made public by families of the troops that they were lacking the bare essentials needed to do the ill founded job they were mislead into performing? Are you insinuating that had he known the dire situation Mr. Bush put our brave troops in beforehand, he would have cast his gauntlet similarly? I think not. As far as the Mr. Kerry’s feelings on war, I can only cite basic common sense on the Senators behalf. After all, he is indeed someone who has been to war and knows first hand the atrocities which are inevitable when people point guns at each other and pull the triggers. Again, unfortunately, I do too. As far as morals, well….they are overrated. Morals are a relative thing. One might say that Amsterdam is the new Sodom or Gomorrah. One might also do some “research” and find that they have one of the lowest crime rates in all of Europe and a large part of the world. Filthy dirty hookers, drugs and all. Now that is what I call something worth fighting for! Don’t get it twisted. No man loves this country or the Constitution more than I…NO ONE. Unfortunately, the things that make America great i.e.: freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are in grave danger when a religious zealot, without the common sense to realize that the Bible can not possibly be taken literally, is given charge.
Now it’s my turn to ask questions:
1- Do you still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny too?
2-Why exactly are we in Iraq?
3- Since my mother and I are still having nightmares with the rest of NYC, can you tell me where Osama is and why Mr. Bush has been quoted as saying “I don’t really think about it that much?”
4- How in the hell can someone in your income range possibly side with George W. Bush? What has he done for you lately? (Two part question)
5- How on earth can you say that Bush is one of the best men we have ever had in the Whitehouse when he uses the Constitution for toilet paper?
6- Do you not see how actually stupid the man is? I don’t mean stupid as in “I don’t like him, he’s stupid!” I mean stupid as in “uneducated-failure-who-was-responsible-for-the-bankruptcy-of-3 - billion dollar companies-before-he-was (astonishingly to any thinking man) elected-to-run-the-greatest-country-in-the-world-stupid?”
7- Do you realize that you are attempting to go up against a ten time Gold medalist in Mental Gymnastics?
8- And finally, are you aware that this is just a fun little debate and that it would break my heart to think that it would affect our brotherhood in any negative way?

Ps. For your information, I reside in a very grey area. A liberal would never be as adamant regarding the second amendment as I am. My convictions however about the first part are strengthened mainly by my resolve pertaining to the second part. On the flip side I am too poor (and smart) to be a Republican.

Pss. Why don’t you subscribe to my blog? I crave the attention and I do not write about politics without getting a paycheck for it.
