My LTTE in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today...

[Freedomofspeech]

The state of affairs for our nation is truly frightening

I'm not shocked, but truly heartbroken, that funding has once again passed to continue blowing up and rebuilding Iraq ("Senate Passes Spending Bill, War Funds," Dec. 19).

We sent the Democrats to Congress to stop the "war," and we have more troops there than when they took control of Congress. We are trying to spread democracy around the world, when we no longer have it in our own country.

The suicide rate among veterans of the Iraq war is frightening, and many veterans are homeless. I guess those yellow "Support the Troops" magnets aren't working so well. By the way, who doesn't support the troops? It's this damned invasion we don't support. Remember, Congress?

China owns us, and if it decides to pull its money out of this country and invest in euros, you can just stick a fork in us.

Look what's happening locally: A corporation from Spain is buying Kennywood, and an Australian company just bought The Meadows.

Does the term "Third World country" sound a bit scary?

I am thankful for one thing this Christmas: Santa has those reindeer, because with the price of gas, he could never afford to make that trip this year.

Well, the Bush administration has been pushing fear on us for years, and I am finally scared. Mission accomplished, Mr. Bush.

7. I read your letter this morning...

...while eating my Cheerios. I remember thinking that was a great letter. It was nice the way the P-G gave you that little highlighted box too.

Nice job. And thanks for taking the effort.

8. Well done. I like how you close...

"Well, the Bush administration has been pushing fear on us for years,
and I am finally scared. Mission accomplished, Mr. Bush."

Democrats disappoint, War, Economy
Strong points and that last paragraph lingers...
