A Must Read

No matter what your political convictions are this is an eyeopener....What a thankless people we are!!! David Letterman, on President Bush. (Surprising) David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see.... 'As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark. ' 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckledragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?' A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7Days a week? B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? C. Could it be that 95. 4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen i n the last year? E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state. F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either. H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show upand provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital. I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of afire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your belongings. K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers. M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that i s what has 67% of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats theworld has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has agreat disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The mostblessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what wedon't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking thegood Lord we live here. I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and hasno plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percentapproval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation inthe dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring aneconomy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has beencalled every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiledungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief ofan all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Didthis news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take alook around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Thinkabout it......are you upset at the President because he actually causedyou personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failingto kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan havevolunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general''discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst casescenario, a ''dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent ofAmericans? Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leadsand they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash withblood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at thecorner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profitcorporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defendtheir actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask whythey tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book abouthow he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being gratefulfor all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good th anbad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank Godseveral times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative. ' 'Withhurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another,and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we surethis is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?' -David Letterman Please keep this in circulation. There are so many people who need toread this and grasp the truth of it all.
