Time to Reevaluate United States involvement

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction.

Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble.

Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back.

Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have sloppy leadership.

Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized.

Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, from which we are supposed to bail them out.

Why are we still there?

There are many hostile religious sects, which we do not understand.

Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods, and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans.

Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders.

Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford.

Why are we still there?

It is becoming VERY clear . . . WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA ! ! !

Oil, baby. . . . Offshore reserves, and even the Teapot Dome structures. Hard rock mining, timber, etc. They can afford to pay for their own democratization.

Just need a change of management to throw that brutal, inhuman killing machine out of power. . . . You know, Arnold. . . .

Hey, stop it boy - Arnold is a friend of G Dubja - so he's entitled to a white hat.


And also he's a born Austrian and therefore he is right in all that he does, that's a fact

There are only steers and queers in California and you don't have no horns...California the worlds largest nut house...$500k gets you a shack in the city, diesels 30+ cents more a gallon than most other states, Lotto money never funds the schools, welfare recipients and illegal aliens get more benefits from tax dollars than the taxpayers themselves. Assault rifles are illegal, **** postal workers! Celebrity criminals don't have to pay for their crimes other than attorney fees which they can easily recoup with a book deal. Business signs are often in a foreign language. My 2004 CTD vehicle license fee is over $500. I don't know why I stay other than family and friends and the fact that I am afraid of tornado's and floods ruining my life.

Happy 4th to all. Thanks to our troops and all veterans for our freedom! God Bless!

TOP,

WHERE DO YOU FIND THESE?

I gave the letter from a senior citizen to the people at work, and they laughed all day long. I'll have to try this one on them too.

Keep Em Comin

That's just excellent!

I'm not sure why California is still considered a state either...it seems to be the red-headed step-child of the U.S. A friend of mine says she was visiting in LA once and they have traffic jams STARTING at 3 a.m.!!!! What kinda nonsense is that??? It's no wonder they have so much smog!

I spent 13yrs of my 52 there. Got draged there from Michigan by the folks at age 4. Took me until age 17 to claw my way out. Funny thing is the wifes mother & sister came from mich. & ended up in Redding. I think if they could just split the state in two. say from Red Bluff north they would have a liveable state. Keep the liberals & holly wierds along with the bay area fruits contained.
