So…… I am at work the other day listening to my music. I take off my headphones and my ears perk up as I start to hear another “Anti-Bush” diatribe from my lovely co-workers that goes something like this…. “Yeah…. anyone that believes that we went to war with Iraq “not” not to get their oil is stupid.” Of course this royally pissed me off and I could not let this shit go unchallenged. This one guy we will call “Shawn” says that the government wants civil war in Iraq so that we can side with the factions that control the most oil rich regions and help them defeat the opposition. I must inform you that Shawn does not own a TV because he thinks that every news show is full of it and he can get the real truth from the internet. That’s right the same internet where any moron, including myself can post whatever they want. The same internet that John Kerry used during the debates to say that George Bush owned a timber company when it was clearly not true. Shit, even the “Clinton News Network” is better than most of the crap on the internet. Now riddle me this. What is the most common theme among so called “underground reporting” on the internet? It’s conspiracy, everything is a fucking conspiracy, trust no one except the underground reporters. You want to know why milk spoils after a few weeks. Conspiracy! Why do you have to get immunization shots when you are a kid? Can you say Con-Fuckin’-Spiracy! Now of course I am joking, but some of the stuff that they say is almost that bad and Shawn subscribes to most of it. He tells me that we need the oil from Iraq and only Iraq right now or economy will collapse. I point out to him that during the last decade we had a boycott on Iraq oil and that they only produce 4% of the worlds oil anyhow. I also tell him that our reserves are at an all time high in this country. Now here is where his conspiracy theory comes into play… Shawn: Have you ever heard of the “XcyODIFSOJ59656-xvdoiyd~@%%&” organization? Me: No. Shawn: Well they are the “real” ones that control the worlds oil and blah blah blah “insert crazy conspiracy talk here” Now I can’t argue with some point he just fuckin made up and I am perceived to lose the argument. The few co-workers standing around us think that he is so smart because he stumped me. Shawn actually is very smart but on the same token he is very stupid because remember, he only gets his info from the unregulated internet. In his eyes Bush can never ever do anything right. If the president somehow created a new fuel from all of the waste products on earth that when burned its only by products would be: money, food, sunshine, smiles, jobs, clean air, etc…. He would look for any micro shred of negative info and run it into the ground. He is just another person who hates Bush blindly and that’s what we call… Ideology! Despite what some of you think I do not believe that Bush is perfect by any means. I just post pro Bush stuff all of the time because of the overwhelming and unfair anti Bush stuff that I read everyday. I actually think that Bush is way too soft on the border/immigration problem!
More on that later….

I TOTALLY agree with you. I am so sick of these people who know not a single fact but just talk in awed, hushed tones about Michael Moore’s movie and “The DaVinci Code” like they both aren’t FICTION. (although, I must admit, the DaVinci Code was a pretty good FICTION thriller, whereas you couldn’t pay me to give a dime to that lyin’, ugly, fat bastard Michael Moore).
And to all the people without a brain in their heads or a lick of common sense (most of my friends, unfortunately), for anyone to think that a newly formed government will be a total success in 3 years is smokin’ something I’ve never encountered (even during those 3 years in Alaska)!
The lives that these so called “peace activists” have cost our troops by siding with those poor, misunderstood, radical muslims (I’m doin’ my 10 year old a favor by strappin’ a bomb to his back and sacrificing his sweet little soul to kill fellow Iraquis…by the way, what’s he going to do with those 70 virgins when He gets to heaven, for Christ’s sake, he’s only 10?)
Anyway, how can a country who is constantly reminded of how Hitler could sway a whole nation to conspire to kill 11 MILLION jews, christians, homosexuals and people that were deemed mentally and physically unsuitable think that this could not happen again? And you would think that EUROPE would have learned their lesson by now…yet look what’s happening in the Netherlands and France and Spain.
Are we not thinking men and women or are we ostriches?
(Actually, I think I read somewhere that it is that a myth that they stick their heads in the sand?)
But you get my drift….
KEEP WRITING….STARVED FOR ENTERTAINMENT…
Speaking of entertainment, that reminds me….my radical liberal friends are so amused by that annoying “talk of the town” JON STEWART…I sware to god, I gave this IDIOT 5 days to prove that he was funny and he was so incredibly inane and stupid that I have concluded that the liberal brain structure must be a total mutation of the homo sapien sapien that has a modicum of survival skills/instinct. BECAUSE IF WE DID WHAT THE LIBERALS WANTED, WE WOULD BE PICKED OFF LIKE FLIES BY PEOPLE OF THE LIKES OF HITLER, STALIN, MILOSOVIC, KIM IL SUNG, SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Okay…I think I’m done

Speaking of fictitious movies, I downloaded one off the internet about 9/11 over the weekend. It was a hilarious Crock-U-Mentary that presented stupid theories that the planes that hit the twin towers had missiles on them that fired just before impact. Holy Shit, I should write an article about that….
I agree with you about that Jon Stewart guy… I also think its funny if you listen to the announcer before the show actually starts, he says: *”Coming up next its news that way it was meant to be … fake! The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart is next!”* The problem with this of course is that every teenager gets their news from that stupid show. What in the hell is going on.
