Welcome, new DU readers. We're glad you're here. Sit a piece.

[jazzjunkysue]

Even though you've stopped over on a really bad day, when the board is occupied with the Path to 9/11 film, we're glad you're here. Please come back and read us on a regular day, and join in the discussion.

I think you'll be surprised how patriotic this board is, how much we care about our soldiers and pray for their safe return, and how much we believe in our constitution and it's original purpose: A truly representative, free, open, honest, responsible democracy.


Please come back and find out that we have much more in common with conservatives than you might have thought, from listening to right wing radio.

We tend to look for answers in facts and verifiable accounts, rather than simply trust the government. This is how our founding fathers wanted it.

So, it will help you realize that the unpopularity of the Iraq occupation is not due to our lack of patriotism, but because of it.

Please come back and find out the real reason almost 3,000 of our young soldiers have died in Iraq, and 40,000 have been permanently handicapped:

Because George Bush is a personal investor in the Carlyle Group, and shares business deals with the Saudi Royal family. The Saudi's asked us to sacrifice our soldiers to stop Saddam from screwing around with the oil prices by refusing to go along as a member of OPEC.

And if that's not enough to make you come back and read, look up the Project For A New American Century's letter to Bill Clinton in 98 asking Bill to invade and occupy Iraq. It's right here:
www.newamericancentury.org . Click on "Letters." and you'll find the 98 letter to Clinton.

They've wanted this since way before Hussein and terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. They wanted it way back in 98 and they used YOU to get control of all 3 parts of the government just to put this plan on the ground.

You've been used, and you need to know it.

Please come back and keep reading. George Bush's approval numbers are in the low 30's for good reason: He's ruining our country, and defaming the constitution.

Don't let any more of your kids die for oil. Please keep thinking and reading, and don't believe what the government tells you. What they say doesn't match what you see and hear with your own eyes and ears. What we say here, does.

22. Welcome

Whatever brought you here today we're glad you're here.Things are pretty bad in our country right now but here you will find answers and friendship among all sorts of people including former Bush supporters like myself.
We don't pretend to have all the answers at DU but what we do have is people shining light on the truth.
Read and fact check what you read and then when you find out as I did that your suspicion something isn't right with the way the Government and George Bush are handling things register and join us in the discussion on how we can make things right again.

Welcome.

[Kurovski]

23. The best welcome (and invitation) to our neighbors I've seen on DU.

Welcome to all sincere, concerned citizens of America and fields afar!

[Raffi Ella]

24. Indeed.

I offer my sincere welcome as well to all on this solemn day.

27. K&R this puts the war on terror into an excellent perspective....

I would also recommend that newcomers check out the hijackingcatastrophe documentary in my signature line, and if they can, watch it or read the book sometime. It analyzes the roots of neoconservatism and provides plenty of hard facts and details showing how this, our current administration, profits from catastrophe and war.

[jazzjunkysue]
