What really pisses me off..., Ugh Options

[*CrackedRearView*]

I find it increasingly annoying the sheer amount of people who feel offended by the Vice President's actions and his company.

Here's an example quote, from my friend Jess (a staunch anti-Bush liberal):

Yeah and companies like the one run by our VP are reaping all the nebenfits of the war, which is a bunch of crap.

And I keep hearing comments along these lines, and I've finally had enough.

I know the ideology of the democrat is to support the individual working man, and to protect the establishment of small businesses. And I wish them all the best when pursuing that ideal, but give me a break...

Would the democrats of the United States suggest we take small, private/family owned businesses and ship them to Iraq to build an entire country? There are two main facts you're simply going to have to deal with...

1) The industry is all about capability. Small businesses lack the capability to handle such a grand task. The honest truth is that companies such as GE, Halliburton, and Dresser Industries are the infrastructure companies who can handle projects of this magnitude, not "Big Jim's electric", or "Johnson Family Natural Gas".

2)Cheney makes money in Iraq, and hundreds of other places, too. ***NEWSFLASH*** dit, dit, dit: Cheney's making money here, too. You know, chances are that when your house is warmed up by gas, your business lit up from a power grid, or you even fill up your SUV at Texaco, Halliburton or Dresser Industries played a big part in the pump existing. You put money in Cheney's pocket everyday, and that's been the situation for years. We call that a monopoly, which is a subdivision of capitalism; the financial basis of this country. Get over it, and let the men do their jobs. Heaven forbid they make some money...

As if the VP's company making money off the war is even a substantial issue, anyway. You don't like it? Don't stay here.

That's one of your freedoms, too. I suggest you utilize it.

and... let's see.... energy companies... energy= oil.

do you want to know why i should give a damn? because, in 3 year, i have to go to the post office to sign up for the draft. so i can die in a stupid, F---ing war for oil.

do you want to know why i should give a damn? because this is MY country and much as it's YOUR country, and it's in the hands of an idiot male cheerleader.

do you want to know why i should give a damn? because i am a citizen of the united states of america.

do you want to know why i should give a damn? because it my right as a citizen to question my leaders, and to see what the hell they're screwwing about to earn a million dollars a day.

do you want to know why i should give a damn? because it is MY right to say the President is an idiot if i want to, it is my right to say that the vice president is a corrupt oil- stealer. and it is MY right as an american to say what i want.

that is my right as an american, and i will excercise it as much as i want.
