BTW, I feel this, at least, was uncalled for and rude:
"Are *you* ready to go fight and die in Iraq? How about donating a son, brother, sister or daughter to the cause? Why is it that the people fighting that war - just like the Vietnam war - are the poor families, the ones who can’t find a job in Bush’s deficit-driven, tax-cuts-for-the-rich economy? You first admit - admit!! - that it was a bad move to go into Iraq, and then turn right around and say we should support this bad move? Alright then where can YOU sign up - put your money where your mouth is, pal."
People who volunteer to fight in Iraq do so themselves. We don’t donate or give permission to grown adults. They make their own decisions. While I am too old to go fight in Iraq, I do support those who make that decision and applaud the work they do. I don’t make niggling criticisms at everything they do and every even slightly negative comment that gets made in the Mainstream Media. I will say that in my present job I probably face more danger than most people who work in this country and deal with a population of people that is as twisted and dangerous as most neighborhoods in Baghdad. What do you do, sit in a cubicle or attend class?
And your grasp of the econmy and math in general is obviously very poor, because the tax cuts were proportional to all areas of the economy. They were actually progressive in their effect on the poor. That means the poor gained more than the rich. Now the kind of things proposed recently by Democrats around the country, like a Draft and the continual proposals of sin taxes (which are truly regressive) in local economies are a different story, but you probably support that stuff.
Ask Charlie Rangel about who wants a draft. He’s put forth legislation at least twice now calling for a draft, and then voted against it! Why? So he can keep the fear of a draft alive and blame that on the Republicans.

Wake up and put down the koolaid.
