Not a funny post.
Many of my most recent posts have been somewhat more political than most. Pyrophage has asked me to refrain from posting so much material about Bush, as there are plenty of sites devoted to espousing one political platform or another and I agree. However, it occurred to me that anyone reading this site would likely come to the conclusion that I am a liberal bent on making a case… I’m not…
I’m an independent on a rant.
Just this one last post, then I’ll digress and try to get back to the stuff that is strictly humorous (at least to me).
These are some quotations and links to articles by a couple of conservatives who have become disgusted by the conservative platform as it now stands.
“On American TV, former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says the ruination of Lebanon is Hezbollah’s doing. But is it Hezbollah that is using U.S.-built F-16s, with precision-guided bombs and 155-mm artillery pieces to wreak death and devastation on Lebanon?”
Pat Buchanan.
“During President Bush’s first five years in office, the federal government increased by $616 billion,” Viguerie writes. “That’s a mammoth 33 percent jump in the size of the federal government in just his first five years! To put this in perspective, this increase of $616 billion is more than the entire federal budget in Jimmy Carter’s last years in office. And conservatives were complaining about Big Government back then! How can Bush, (Dennis) Hastert, (Bill) Frist and company look us in the eye and tell us they are fiscal conservatives when in five short years they increased the already-bloated government by more than the budget for the entire federal government when Ronald Reagan was assuming office?”

In defense of my sudden need to get on a soapbox, I’d like to explain that I blame it all on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ~ “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”
