Bush makes citizens look bad
Posted Mar 10, 2003
With the Mexican press full of a debate over the ramifications of a vote against the resolution, [George W.] Bush added, "But, nevertheless, I don't expect there to be significant retribution from the government." His emphasis was on the word "government," raising the possibility of adverse reaction to Mexico from America's business community and average citizens. Making that point, he cited what he called "an interesting phenomena taking place here in America about the French." With many Americans unhappy at French resistance to a war in Iraq, the president said there has developed "a backlash against the French, not stirred up by anybody except by the people."
Details available:
The American Prospect and Mother Jones (mojones.com)amoung other articles explain the bully tactics the US is now using on Mexico.
Bush has said "Its NOT ME"! It is NOT the government.The *people* are mad at the French and next they'll be mad at the Mexicans. The fears/threats/ past history of Internment Camps have been mentioned by many political columnist concerning this topic.
NO NO NO. NOT!

Family
Posted Mar 8, 2003
In #1 family :I have family members that are upset and considering me a traitor for wanting to protest the war.I have members going to Afganistan and Kuwait. All 3 are nothing to celebrate!
Family #2:I have two siblings having a nervous breakdown over the death of two others. Twinny has not had a phone again since the day I was fortunate to be able to inform her our brother Charlie died. She was very upset
Twinny heart is broken. She did not go to the funeral because another sis is violent towards her when surrounded by family When she IS not violent she is huddled in a corner in a fetal position recalling the horrors of early childhood How sad that so many are suffering the cruelty of one woman. She is dead but still killing others slowly and methodically. She still holds them by the throat from the grave. Whether she has an afterlife or not, she still lives, still harms, still divides here on earth.
#3 hubbies family: Things are calm there. No one going to war. No one breaking down. No one being hateful
#4 family : My brother I grew up with. He married our raging Mother in disquise Since Mom died last spring he has been going to visit me. He promised things would change, he would see me more. He says I am his best friend. *sigh* I love him dearly and miss him. For whatever reason things are not changing for the better yet.
#4 Hubby is worried. He hardly ever worries. He is worried about the future. I know he is cause he stresses I should not worry!
I have noticed life is tolerable at these times, when he's assured I have no urgent worries 
I understand 
Sometimes..... Hootoo is a great place to put worries.

Joe Wright
Posted Mar 7, 2003
KANSAS STate
When Minister Joe Wright (he's gotta love that name)was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, this is what they heard:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good," but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building
self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called
it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every
sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask these things in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out
during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea.
"stand for something, you'll fall for everything"
There have been some very vocal ministers and the Catholic Church has come out against Bushes theme of Calling others evil and Claiming he is doing Gods work by starting a war. While I could pick this apart I do think there is a point to how twisted the cultural ideals have gotten in the US. Not to mention the leadership.
