So Mr. Bill O'Reilly, you think that people in San Francisco are unpatriotic for refusing military recruitment in schools! That's rich, coming from you.
Defending our country is a noble cause. The sacrifices made for that cause is the greatest of all. You are asking people to give up their lives. You are asking parents to put their kids in harms way, maybe lose them forever. And you know what? People have done it. In droves. Time and again, people made this greatest sacrifice of all because they believed in that cause. They believed they were acting for the greater good. They trusted the president when he called for the sacrifice. After 9/11, everyone was solidly behind the president.
Don't you think this trust should be held sacred? Don't you think the President should make it damn sure that it was ABSOLUTELY necessary to go to war? Don't you think the President owes it to us to GO IN WITH A PLAN? The least we can expect is that the President is honest about the reason for giving up our kids.
And what did this president do? He abused the trust. The war was supposed to be against Al Qaeda. Iraq had nothing to do with it. Not only did he not bother to have a plan in place, he actually sent our kids to die for a war based on trumped up charges!
Can you think of a more despicable sham? And you, Mr. O'Reilly, you should be hanging your head in shame. You took an active part in this sham. You did your utmost to push the war in Iraq. Day after day you spread the propaganda for this administration. You used fear and intimidation. When anyone raised any doubts you called him a traitor. A TRAITOR! Did you ever have any idea of the magnitude of the sacrifice these soldiers were making? I doubt it because you couldn't even be bothered to do the due diligence in examining the reasons for the war or how it was conducted. Whether you were just a lazy dupe of this administration or a partner in the con act - you have yet to show any contrition for the part you played. Any decent person would have been horrified, had he done what you did.
And now you have the GALL to slime the people in San Francisco? The administration didn't keep its part of the bargain. It sent our kids to die for a lie. Without sufficient ammunitions or armour. It didn't have a plan for what to do once they were in that war. Or how to get out. Neither you nor the Bush administration had any respect for the great trust that was placed on you. But you still expect us to keep our part of the bargain and give you our kids? Our kids' lives are not your playthings. Go fight the war yourself.
You are just beginning to see the extent of harm that you and your Dear Leader's irresponsible behavior has done to this country. I'd call it criminal irresponsibility. People like you think that the end justifies the means. Your modus operandi is to persuade. You'd do anything to manipulate people to your end. You don't get it. Real life is not a game of Survivor. Stable societies are built on trust. Democracies are built on mutual bargain and the trust that each will keep his part of it. You lose that trust, you have nothing.
You understand ZILCH about what makes this country great.
