It has been ridiculously expensive and our debt has skyrocketed from clinton's time to bush's time, but that spending is inevitable in times of war. Our militia has done a lot over there, a lot. A lot of good things for not only our protection but other countries as well.
But why, as an American citizen, hard-working man, honest tax-payer...

Why should I pay for the Mid-East rebuilding when schools in my neighborhood have to cut music, art, and sports programs because there is not enough money?

That being said, this war is doing a lot of good at an expensive price, but that price is worth it. Its keeping our country free.
Explain how it is worth it. I can't afford to fill my gas tank. The price of gas has quadrupled in the last couple years. The price is worth it? Explain.

They saw how things worked from their parents time and from their childhood, especially from World War II. Most of them can understand that what we are doing over there is necessary, because freedom isn't free. Its expensive.
None of the 9/11 hijakers were from Iraq. Almost all of them were from our ALLY Saudi Arabia. We had to do "something". It's like the Three Stooges. Moe hit us in the head, so we hit Curly in the nuts. Hooray! We did "something".

This schoolyard philosophy of world politics only results in human lives lost and consumers punished. We are experiencing that right now.

Its an imported good sold to us by foreign countries. The price is high because they can sell it high and higher. We just can't stop buying gas because the price is too high? gov tax on gas is something like +18 cents at the pump. GAS PRICES ARENT CONTROLLED BY BUSH OR THE GOV.
So why are we givng tax breaks to Exxon and all the other American oil manufacturers who have posted the largest profits EVER in an American corporation. In the FIRST 3 MONTHS of 2008 they had over 36 BILLION in PROFIT. And our government is afraid to tax them for it. WHY?

All the media is on Obama and Hilary. My generation watches a lot of TV and are easily influenced through advertising. Politics is all advertising. They are all liars. MTV is ridiculous, they advertise obama and hilarly like every ten minutes. Which reminds me what MMM said earlier. Something like 'obama has muslim ties so they would be less likely to attack us than if mccain were in office.' Im sorry but first can't you see that the muslim group is the one who attacked us in the first place and now your voting for one to be our president? hahahaha. Obama hasn't even had political experience. He's not going to know what to do besides listen to his advisors. Presidents are suppose to know what they are doing. they were originally also suppose to be war generals. Now, why the hell is congress all up in their business saying we have to approve before the president makes any movements on the battlefield. political correctness doesn't work. Muslim groups will have a key contact into the highest standing political figure and power in America. Everyone should be afraid of that. Why would Obama want to pull troops out? because the muslim groups he has ties to are telling him to (telling also consists of bribes on a humngous scale. haha you see his new house?) Whats his middle name again? like hussein or something. hahaha cmon people.
You paint your own picture of ignorance on that rant. No comment from me necessary.
