Watched the White House talking head last night, the blond was saying the fire services in Calif were spread thin because... "we are a nation at war" - she repeated this statement three times within one minute... I found this an odd piece of brainwashing at an odd time.
And it made me think - our nation is NOT at war, our president is at war. And he is ''''''''fighting'''''''' in some little dot on the world map, and there are some thugs, not very many, ambushing a few of our ''''''''troops'''''''' ocassionally, and Bu$h and Congre$$ are calling it an endless ''''''''war'''''''', and throwing all my tax dollars at defense corporations...

This is NOT a war.

A million Californians need help, and the White House will have a photo-op.

What is wrong with America?

So I bet you want to blame Bush for starting the fires.

I so agree with BareEmperor, this is the third major disaster we have had in this country and the White House is saying we are a nation at war. Bull, the jerks are trying to justify why our own people are paying the price. I have a very strong religious faith and I truly believe THAT HIGHER POWER is telling us something.
CONGRESS, when will you stop this insanity?

Mean folks? What if the illegal immigrants started moving into your house uninvited next? And don''t say they wouldn''t because that is against the law.

The tonks will do like they always do...just cross somewhere else! I''m sure business will pick up for Calexico and Yuma BP as a result. After all, they''re just trying to do the work that Americans won''t, uh, right? And we should be, uh, thankful?

The laser idea sounds good!
