This guy wrote into the paper about me a few months back saying Saddam "is my buddy."
Sounds like a real lowlife to me.

To the editor:
You think you are making progress and then you read a letter such as the one from Walter Hill on July 17 and it just makes you wonder why some people can only mimmick the latest talking points from someone whose name they think they heard or read about one time.
Mr. Hill speaks of the media bias supporting George Bush. What? Most of the national media takes great pleasure in sticking a sharp stick in the eye of every conservative they can get a shot at. He speaks of right wing conservatives as if they were contagious. Thing is, most of us are proud to be called conservative. How many liberals do you see calling themselves liberal? There is a good reason for that.
Mr. Hill blames Bush for Americans becoming targets around the world. Apparently he has not paid attention for the last couple of decades as we have been attacked here at home, on foreign soil, in our embassies, on our military bases and our airliners have been hijacked and crashed and our ships have been attacked. Mr. Hill blames Bush for Americans constantly looking over their shoulder in fear. Ever hear of 9-11? I'm just glad a man of character was the president rather than any of the "wet your finger and stick it in the air before I make a decision" gaggle of liberal pretenders to greatness. One of Clinton's entourage even floated the idea that it was a shame a great political opportunity such as 9-11 was wasted on Bush and not given to Slick Willie.
A lack of trust because of all of the lies coming from the administration are cited by Hill. The only lie I hear Bush being accused of telling is about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. If he told a lie it was also told by Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, Gore and Uncle Teddy. In the last couple of years they have cited WMDs in Iraq as a reason for great concern. The thing is, they did not have the convictions of their beliefs to back up what they knew. Bush did. Ask anyone in Afghanistan, the Taliban, Saddam Hussein or the hundreds of his followers who are now incarcerated or collecting their reward. You can also ask the kids that are back in school or the girls that are being educated for the first time. Ask the people that are back at work and thriving or the great majority of Iraqis who have been liberated and truly appreciate what has been done for their benefit. Actually, you can ask anyone, except those with selfish political agendas or those who follow them blindly.
