Iraqis defy intimidation to vote, attacks kill 26
Come on America, if the Iraqi’s get it then why don’t we? These people are braving mortar fire and grenades to get to the polls and vote! We bitch about it being too cold and standing in line. wake up and get yourself a nice hot cup of perspective. 26 people died today at the polls…AT THE POLLS… and they still stayed there and said no, this is MY country and we’re voting damn it. That is how we need to be. We can’t get discouraged because this guy didn’t win or that piece of legislation got passed. We have to stand up and take this country back from the politician elitists that think they can run our lives. What a bunch of whiners we are. We should look at Iraq as an example and just remember who the hell we are. When our troops come home, we have a duty to have them come home to the country they think they’re fighting for. If we give away all of their freedoms while they’re at war, then what was it all for? We have a responsibility to get up off our asses, turn off “The Bachelor” and start thinking about how we want to live. Right now there is a structure being built that will transform this country into something other than America, and we have to fix it. We owe our troops and children that much. weather it is healthcare or cap and trade or whatever… we have to put our government back in its place and that is to serve the people and not themselves. Everything they are doing right now is a way to enact some form of control over us and that is not how we as Americans want to live. If Iraqi’s can brave mortar fire and grenades at their polling stations, we can put down the Twinkie, turn off the television long enough to fight for our freedom, which is being sucked away from us every day.
