Bush Took My Job, Killed My Sons

[Lars]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions. They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job. This competition could hardly be called "fair."

 

I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years. Not a single government program was there to help me. How can Bush call himself "compassionate"?

 

Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich.

 

My pain of losing my sons is indescribable. While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left.

 

How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in hiding, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested.

 

Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian! If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democratic Party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

 

 

Regards,

Whoh dude, you had me sucked in till the hiding part.

 

Whew, there were some people who lost loved ones in this war, I was sitting here calulating the odds of a father losing 2 of them when you pulled me out of it with the in hiding and Saddam finish, good one.

 

BTW: Saddam, and this is the honest to God truth. I met some Kurds at my local park a few years ago who had been sprited out of Iraq in @ 1992 due to working for cough: cia, cough: cia, er...lets just say another Bush. I'm sitting there asking the American escort how these guys wound up in Portland, Or. of all places. She told me some interesting things (I'm guessing about the cia part of course, she merely said they had worked for the Americans), but the most interesting was that one of them had been one of a handful of survivors who had lived through an airborne gas attack. Everyone in the village was a friend or relative. He was "lucky" enough to be able to watch them all die as he and only a few others were the only ones with gas masks. All the women and childern died. Most of the men.

 

I wonder what reply he'd give you Saddam? I know what I'd be thinking.

 

BTW: I'm not kidding about this part either, as the war of words escalated pre-gulf war 2: I bought gas masks for my relatives, and every child on the block (10 of the childrens sizes).

 

My wife thinks I have a screw or 2 loose of course.

 

Regards to all but one of course:

I think she is right. I feel bad for you people who live in paranoia and fear. You like in Portland, OR not a Kurdish village in Iraq. I'm thinking the chances of you getting gassed in such a way that your home gasmask is going to save you is about as likely as a band of mormon school children invading your neighborhood and executing everyone.
