Mar 18, 2004 WHOA! Gosh darn it, I HATE being defined by some outsider trying to make a point! I hate it when we as Democrats do it, and I darn sure hate it when others do it to us. Okay, let me get off the floor from flailing my arms and wailing, and sally forth into the fray. I think it’s funny that foreign corporations, mostly from Japan, OUTSOURCE to the United States because our labor force (the nonlabor, less trained folks) is viewed in the same manner as American corporations view the work force in Mexico and India, according to Wall Street Journal Online, 15 March 2004. I’ll refer to the Department of Defense for a definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD): “WMD include any weapon or device that are intended, or have the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people through the release of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors, a disease organism, or radiation or radioactivity.” Want pics? Conjure up one of the Kurds unfortunate enough to have gotten close to a WMD in northern Iraq when our country sold them out in 1992. Hmmm…the United States Office of Management and Budget would suggest you blink slower, so you could have watched the $127 billion SURPLUS fade, disappear and turn in on itself to become the $304 billion DEFICIT we have today. Oh, and I know I’m banned from using this phrase, but ad hominem attacks on veterans is deplorable. No, Kerry exploiting his ‘war record’ is as disgraceful as Gephardt’s pimping of his family’s penury when he was in the running, but it should not call for such excoriating terms like “fraud” and “coward.” It seems as if we applauded Norma McCorvey’s change of heart years after she desired to kill her unborn child to become Roe in Roe V Wade, but we invalidate the change of heart of someone who has experienced combat and desires war no more? Hey, I agree that there’s bias in the media. It’s like everyone has an agenda, and writes the talking head points according to the lexicon of the left or the rubrics of the right. Although I enjoy a good Bloody Mary, it has to be the right mix of tomato juice, vodka and Tabasco sauce. Not too much of any one in particular, and just enough of all, if you get my meaning. And those last two terms. Well, I won’t comment. I’ve got to get back into the fight for the White House from this battleground state. Oh, and can someone ask Michael if the dialect in his last article supposed to be from the Upper Peninsula, or lower Harlem? ------------ About the author: Chuck Tyler is a freelance writer and journalist based in South Bend, Indiana.
