So, this post doesn't have much to do with what we were talking about, but I saw the cartoon posted by Matt and it got me thinking about how ungrateful we are in this country for everything that we have.
First of all, almost anything that you hear about George Bush anymore is how little people approve of him... I think it's like 30% or somewhere around there. Anyway, is it because the other 70% of people actually don't like him? Or could it be the other few people that keep talking bad about him and they just keep reporting it on the news? But what else is it that everyone is so unappreciative about? I mean we have the whole freedom of religion... granted, there may be some problems with it, and it may be imperfect, but its one of the best things we got. Why do you think so many want to move to america, yet it seems that a lot of people really don't like us! So they like our country but not us... we're just whiny little brats that have no appreciation for what we have. So Georgie hasn't been perfect... whoopty doo!! what other president has been perfect? If I remember right, Clinton had a higher rating even after the whole monica scandal. Something seems wrong with that picture but if that's what americans want...
Another thing, many people are mad about the whole iraq thing going "awry" or not going according to plan. Whatever it reason is why we're still there, quit complaining about it! You're not in the army, you're not fighting the war. Bush had the best of intentions by doing that. Maybe he got oil out of it, but hey, it helped us! And it got rid of another dictator to replace with a democracy! What's wrong with that? So they didn't come back early enough, but a lot of problems were solved. Besides there are a few other worse things that could happen to the country than a president that just happens to resemble a monkey... such as hurricanes? tornadoes? floods? earthquakes? so stop complaining so much and start appreciating what you have and maybe you'll see that you've got it pretty good...
