CITIZEN ALERT v1.25
THE NEXT GENERATION

Sorry I've had a crazy weekend. I missed Sunday and then last night was too much of a nightmare to post late at night so here we are...

The Republicans seem to carry on a theme from time to time and that is protecting the next generation. President Bush brought it up a couple times in his press conference Monday at the White House.

I believe we owe it to our children and grandchildren to stay engaged and to help spread liberty, and to help reformers.

Nobody wants to turn on their TV on a daily basis and see havoc wrought by terrorists. And our question is, do we have the capacity and the desire to spread peace by confronting these terrorists, and supporting those who want to live in liberty? That's the question. And my answer to that question is, we must. We owe it to future generations to do so.

Looking out for future generations. It's kind of a double talk. If he really was looking out for future generations then why are we spending like there's no tomorrow and borrowing money from foreign countries so that our future generations will be indebted to them as soon as they're born?

Why are we not in the forefront on the fight against global warming if we are so commited to our grandchildrens' lives?

And speaking of no tomorrow, if his evangelical base really believes, as so many people are writing about, that these are truly the end times and the battles in the middle east are a sign of the end of the world, then why would they care so much about a future generation that's not going to exist?

These are the same kind of double talk/double speeches that brought propaganda like our military leaders are going to be the ones to dictate what happens in Iraq not politicians, but when the military leaders told them up front they'd need many more troops than what they were planning or Iraq would collapse into sectarian violence - they didn't so much want to listen to the military leaders anymore.
