MCclellans book

Scott Mcclellan has come out with A book slandering president Bush, accusing him of misleading the public in order to start the war in Eraq among other things. if there was aany misleading done Scott was sure part of it. He was the white house press secretary and he reported and defended the presidents plans. He indicates the war was A mistake and A failure,Maybe he is right but that has not been proven and maybe never will be, hstory may tell A whole differant story, People tend to forget that Saddam was taking over Kuwait till we stopped him,If he had succeded there what would he have taken over next. if you will check your history you will find that kings and dictators once they have the power they want to take over the neigboring countries and eventualy control the world if they could. And you can bet that Saddam would have done the same if no one had stopped him. Bush is our commander in chief and he acts like one. he made his promises and he has stuck to them in spite of the fact that A big share of the public has deserted him,,He may have made some mistake s but who hasnt.Remember in seven years since the attscks on theworld trade centerwe have not had A majer succesful attack within the U.S.by our enemies whereas thir are millions of people out there that would like to destroy us. Give Bush credit for keeping us safe here at home. true we have lost over 4000 service personl in the Eraq war in the last seven years but remember we lost more then that in one day in world war two.If we hadnt won that war we would now be under the rule of the emperor of japan or Hitlers reich. Strange we are all over the world helping other countries out when they are in trouble but they all seem to hate us but they sure want to come to this country when they get A chance.

farm bill and taxes

congress just passed A 9.2 billion farm bill. Idont know why they call it A farm bill bcause only 12 percent of it goes to support the farm and ranch families.The big share is going to nutrition programs like school lunches .food stamps and forein aid.Also pet projects that the senators take home and brag about their accomplishments so they can get reelected. I see there was recently another bill introduced in congress to do away with the internal revenue service and have A national sales tax of 22 percent or A flat tax with A tax report form the size of A postcard.if we eliminate the I.R,S. who is going to check up on us to see that we pay our proper share of taxes. How many people would be paying their fair share of taxes if there was nobody to check up on them .Dont fall for the national sales tax or the flat tax idea it would only make the rich people ritcher then what the present tax system is doing.Ill agree that people that are smart enough to run A successful busines or excel in sports are entitled to a bonus but it dosnt have to amount to legal robbery as is being done in many cases now.The people that are out there working for thirty or forty thousand A year and producing the wealth are working just as hard or harder then the guy that is sitting in the office and taking most of the profit.

fuel problems

Some people are blaming the high prices of food on the production of ethanol from corn and want to cut down on producing ethanol from corn. Its true ethonal can also be made from other sources such as sugar cane ,switch grass,garbage and animal waste. But right now one of the most important thing for this country is to become fuel independant. If we pull out of Eraq and Afghanistan and our enemies get control they will have A strangle hold on us.If they cut off our fuel supply and we do not have our own our trasportation systm will be in big trouble,A lot of busiesses would have to shut down and that would cause massive unenployment. the farmers would not have fuel to plant or harvest their crops so we would have A food shortage.We would have masses of unemployed and starving people and that would cause run away inflation. We have to get power independant or we are in big trouble. My opinion by John Zilverberg

police justis and racism

n regard to the shooting of Sean Bell A prospective groom at his bachelor party in New York on11 -25-06. the police were cleared of the murder charges against them because they were doing their duty trying to enforce the law and the shooting was justified under the circomstances. Now the Reverand Sharpton is trying to raise A mob protest and shut down the city. I am sure that if the person shot had been A white man Sharpton would not have said A thing. He is making it into A big racism issue that is not justified by any streatch of the imagination,I am sure the police had not come with A plot to kill the groom and were only there to enforce the law.What do we have A police force for if we tie their hands so they can not enforce the law,If we dont give the police the weapons to do their job the criminals will find it easier to get away with their crimes and the geneal public will be at their mercy.
