Meet the Freepers-KBR 180K sign on |
|
I took a low profile with my Freeper Family during the run up to the election. Not to worry, they were all praying for me and knew what was up.
Now it's the holiday and time to visit the family in Red Oklahoma. I have been in Jeb's Florida for 13 years. My little brother (age-43) has been recruited from 20 years at Delta Airlines to KBR (Halliburton) to work as a "Private Security Guard" in Iraq. They have offered a 180K sign on bonus and 10K monthly (wonder where THAT money came from?) and he cannot wait to go and "kill some fucking ragheads." My Mother told me last night (re: prison torture) that if a few "sand niggers" have to wear their underwear on their heads, it's nothing compared to what THEY DID TO US." My best friend of 30 years laughed uncontrollably when I told her I was working for Kerry (anyone but Bush). I love these people, but I feel as if I no longer know them. I can play the Christmas game but in my heart, I ache for our country, our soldiers and the many innocent Iraqis and Afghanis who have been slaughtered for our greed. The contradiction is that My Freeper Family would be the first to help you out should shit come your way. But they are all about killing the "towel heads." This is a personal heartbreak for me. And I am the "crazy" one. Flame, flame, flame. I would rather stay home. Somehow it's impossible for me to hold back when I am baited esp by family. This SO sucks.

I am the last member of my family to remain an Orthodox Jew, all the rest converted to ASSemblies of Gawd and they are just like the family described above.
They know my only child died in Iraq and they are "so proud that he died for freedom". When I hear that shit, my stomach turns.

Mother, who is all about, "just nuke 'em" is also all about "no way my kid is going." Politics-the true divider.

11. Deeply sorry for your loss... |
|
but yeah, my family got onto the Jesus Krispie kick right after King Dumbshit took office...
Been downhill ever since. I am still amazed that the people who taught me about compassion and love, think that most Muslims need to be kiiled or incarcerated.
Their Christ apparently isnt the same Christ I read and learned of.

I'm grow weary when I hear stuff like this. The really sad part is they know it bothers you and they still do it. I don't see why politics even needs to be discussed at "Christ"mas. Real Christian, huh. This holiday sucks, it is so filled with hypocracy.

8. I can't stand to see the numbers coming out of Iraq daily.... makes me.. |
|
ill because I know its pointless. Nothing good will come of our excursion there. Its a country ready to implode into civil war. We are in a damned if we do or damned if we don't situation. I will concede we probably made a difference in some people lives there but all is lost since they really do not want us there.
180k, and 10k a month.....interesting that a whole lot more that being offer..then working as a cop observer or organizer. I almost got caught up in the UN thing until I came to my senses. Its blood money....plain and simple.
