Take a good look in the mirror and see yourself. We all need an attitude and gratitude check. Read this quote from Jay Leno: "The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. In essence 2/3's of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are so unhappy about?'' Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year? Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state? Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have , and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here. I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells , and when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative. "With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?" Jay Leno " Oh no.... that couldn't be YOU could it?? Not You who takes every negative report and twists it to help foment hate and discontent against our government and it's elected leaders.... Please take a good look and search your heart... which side are you really on? Bob Beals

He didn't have a great approval rating in the end either. Most people on the side of the Republicans bitched like there was no tomorrow. It's the same thing that is happening but it's the other side's turn. When I see the Bush bashing I realizing it's reflection of a mirror when some of us were Clinton bashing. It's much easier for people to come to our land of the free than to make personal sacrifices to make their own land free.

This is one of many reasons why people are PISSED: At Bush DoJ, Dems Need Not Apply By Paul Kiel - April 18, 2007, 2:22 PM http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/ As if the politicitization of the Justice Department wasn't plain enough already... The Bush administration's purge of the Civil Rights Division has been well documented -- how career attorneys and analysts have been driven out and replaced with hard-line conservatives with little civil rights experience. But it's not just in the Civil Rights Division that hiring practices have changed. According to a group of anonymous Justice Department employees who've penned a letter to the House and Senate judiciary committees, all possible entry-level hires at the Justice Department are now being screened by the deputy attorney general's office. And they seem to be looking for something in particular. (Update: You can read the letter here (pdf). It was obtained by John Bresnahan of The Politico.) According to their letter, here's what happened when some of those employees sat down with Michael Elston, chief of staff to DAG Paul McNulty (both of them key figures in the U.S. attorney purge). They wanted to know why Elston's office had struck a number of promising applicants from the list of interviewees. From The Politico: ...Elston "was offensive to the point of (being) insulting."... "Claiming that the entire group had not 'done their jobs' in reviewing applicants, (Elston) said that he had a 'screening panel' to go over the list and research these candidates on the Internet; he refused to give the names of those on his 'panel,'" the career employees wrote. "Mr. (Elston) said that people were struck from the list for three reasons: grades, spelling errors on applications and inappropriate information about them on the Internet." So, in their own words, the career employees did some checking of their own. They reportedly detected a "common denominator" for "most of those" struck from the interview list: They had "interned for a Hill Democrat, clerked for a Democratic judge, worked for a 'liberal cause' or otherwise appeared to have 'liberal' leanings. Summa cum laude graduates at both Yale and Harvard were rejected for interviews." Meanwhile, Regent University grads have no problem getting their foot in the DoJ's door. Update: House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) reacts: "I take any accusations of undue politicization of career staff seriously. We have already identified concerns in Department's Civil Rights Division. These new accusations are clearly something we will want to consider as well." -- Relpo Miraculous ROFL! http://www.omencity.com/blog/ Remove YOUR SHORTS to reply

Now the Democrats are trying the same thing, but they have no case to bring to a Grand Jury, and everything seems to fizzle like Fitzmas. So now they are trying to impeach Cheney using the same failing formula. That's communism for you... Keep running that play until you're backed out of your own endzone into some other country. > When I see the Bush bashing I realizing it's reflection of a mirror when > some of us were Clinton bashing. Trouble was, we had hard evidence, and so much of it that the Special Prosecutor was having trouble putting the case together. By the time it was ready to go to trial, 51 indicted Chinese nationals involved in illegal Democrat campaign funding had fled the country, and the hard drive stash had been raided at Los Alamos. > It's much easier for people to come to our land of the free than to make > personal sacrifices to make their own land free. This is true still, even after 911. On the upside though, many of these people have been witness to what happens when a democidal government gets to power, and all vow to never let it happen again. Democrats have not witnessed the end game of their own actions yet. They carry on exactly like the students of South Vietnam who were perverted in the name of peace by the NVA and Marxist professors. Of course, at that time they didn't realize that Ho Chi Minh would slaughter 4.8 million of his own people to prop up the lie and the unworkable economic system, and while they were his instrument, they were also among his first southern victims. Free speech is the first casualty, and free speakers go second. Of course that could never happen in the US, could it? Witness how open and unbiased the "global warming" debate of the left is.
