What are We Going To Tell Our Children |
|
Edited on Fri May-07-04 10:51 PM by The Lone Liberal
The children see these pictures on television and they ask, “Why did we do this?” What are you going to tell them? Are you going to tell that the President illegally invaded a country in a war of aggression instead of doing the decent and civilized thing like getting a BJ like the former President. The BJ was more explainable.

1. Maybe you should ask Henry Hyde that question. |
|
Receiving a letter from some kid seemed to validate his decision to impeach Clinton. Maybe that's all we need to oust the bush. Another letter from a kid to Henry Hyde.
It won't work, of course, but it would be nice to flood his office with letters from kids.

4. Now taht is an evil plan |
|
but seriously when people seat down with children do not even mention Clinton and a BJ... what this is, well this is Germany in '45-6 when women had to explain to children what happened.
This is more akin to Serbia and Bosnia when again people had to explain genocide
Lets stop comparing this to a BJ
Get it over your thick skulls, these are war crimes, those were commited by our soldiers and encouraged by OUR leaders, time to be honest with our children
If you have been writin letters, screaming at staffers, et al, your own consicnece may be a tad clearer, otherwise.... read some history and then seat with your children
At least we may be able to stop this before genocide occurs

8. Are you accusing me of having a thick skull? |
|
I hope not. I know these are war crimes, but many on the other side don't get it. rush calls it hazing. bill mccullough compared this to the Clinton-Lewinsky thing the other day on Crossfire.
I actually think it's a great idea to write my reps to express my outrage and ask them how I should explain this to my kids.

2. There's probably some folks we can ask for advice... |
|
The Germans who survived WWII had to explain that to their children. Let's hope we turn this around before it gets to that point.

7. My father survived their "kindness" and for many |
|
years he refused to buy anythiung made in Germany... today I drive a BMW, which is truly his favorite car, it is 16 years old. When he bought that car I think that is the moment he made his peace, and I have realized this right now

3. I think it is a lot harder to explain these atrocities than explaining |
|
a blow job..
It makes all the hoopla the repukes made over Clinton look even more infantile.
I am sickened by what this administration has done to this country.

5. We are going to tell them the BLEEPIN' truth |
|
OUR Government overreached, lied to the people and got us into a quagmire. They attempted to compromise our Constitution in the name of an illegal war and some participated for personal profit. Hopefully we can also tell them that the American people came to their senses and excised the Bush* cancer before it was too late to save this great country. We can tell them that although we went theough a dark period all is well and we are back to Mom and Apple pie, baseball and the good 'ol Contstitution!

9. I am already all over that |
|
My daughter marches off to high school every day with a long freakin' line of ANTI bush buttons prominenetly displayed on her purse and we have not been able to keep up with the demand for duplicates...............IN NEBRASKA...............IN CENTRAL (RURAL) NEBRASKA.
I told her that this is not the way our country was intended to work and I gave her a copy of "Against All Enemies" which she is 3/4 through. She's become quite the activist for both Democrats and Deomocracy in this red-washed state and I am very proud of her for having that kind of courage.

10. Fortunately, the triplets do not see television news. |
|
And the newspaper photos have been hidden from them as well.
