It Rears Its Ugly Head Again: Flag Burning Amendment
Dear Hillary,
I’m non-plussed. You support a flag burning amendment? I mean deep, down in your heart you support such a thing?
Every day our national debt increases to the point that
We have a war based on lies killing innocent people, from the troops to the Iraqi civilians; we have a planet that is on its last legs if we don’t do something about global warming now, right now when there’s still a chance to reverse some of the damage.
We have growing poverty but “wonderful health care” for the rich -- for the lower or fading middle class health care is bad or non-existent.
Yet, your panties are all in a bunch about flag burning? I believe that as much as I believe Bush gives a hoot about gay marriage.
You have become the enemy Hillary.
Sure, I know one must make some sacrifices in politics – one must appeal to the voting blocs by saying and doing things that might make them vote for you. But you’ve gone too far.
Your pandering is more like panhandling. You are out there begging for votes without shame.
The Religious Right is only as powerful as politicians allow them to be. By joining their club, you’ve alienated your base supporters and elevated their status and power because of fear they might not vote for you. Well they have no intentions of voting for you ever.
So if you run, you will lose. Not for standing up for your principals but for abandoning them.
A few days ago I said I’d vote for you if you ran.
Nix that.

What?
Flagburning?!
Did I wake up in a time warp? The right is *still* on that?!!?
Geez Lou-freaking-ise.
AMK - it's pretty foolish of her to take Bush's route of appeasing the whacko conservative crazies. Whoever is advising her is off base and I somehow don't think it's her husband. He was able to get himself elected twice and without a total turn around of core beliefs.
Summer, a year ago they pulled up the old flag-burning amendment when they wanted to appeal to the right and they're doing it again. When's the last time you saw someone burn a flag? When's the last time you heard of a soldier being killed in Iraq? (like in this morning's news...)
And, while Bush plans to build his 50 foot wall on the Mexican border (because we all know there aren't 51 foot ladders)....the terrorists are running free at the Canadian/American border which is 2/3 as long.
So let's see: we have 6000 Nat'l Guard troops at the Mexican border...and Bush just sent 800 up to the Canadian border. No wonder why I'm literally going nuts with this prez and his extended stay on the throne.
He appears to be using all his resources to protect us from Gay Latinos who burn flags...
Well everything else is so perfect, right?
Doc, I just sent the blog link...we'll see if she shows up on my stats. I'd guess not.
Re Gay Marriage...no matter what amendment they draw up, it won't stop gay people from loving each other and forming families. So, the amendment is a social crime, and based on hate, and hate crimes ae against the law.
I second your motion. She's more of a crook than her husband was, but she's been fairly savvy for a female politician in the past which is actually saying a lot. Until this, I was considering voting for her if she ran. Now... forget it.
And all this crap is supposed to keep us from noticing the climbing death rates of American soldiers; the rising cost of gas; the waning economy and our trillions of dollars of debt.
