Still after the electon, why is everyone so mad at the government?

I was jsut wondering today why post election that even though the voter turn out was very high even with the risk of death, some people still believe we are forcing our views on these people in Iraq. If anything it is the terroritst and rebels there that try to impose thier views with death threats.  I think that some people just have to give up their argument in some points and admit their wrong. Also some people blame our government for being selfish and not caring about others, but than we are the only ones to lose thousands of lives to bring freedom to other people.( I know some people are gonna say "Just wait and see what the goernment gets out of this" to that last sentance) I mean we have a very stong country militarialry(sp?). politically and socially, but as soon as we put our nose into other peoples businesses were just big bullies who are pushing other smaller countries around.


 Also I\'m sick of everyone complaining about the government and the way we live our lives, because I\'d absolutley love to see some people go to a third world country and live there for a while, than come back and tell everyone how much they love their life here. I just think some people here (America), including myself, don\'t realize how easy we have it. I could be wrong, but it\'s just that I constantly hear the people who are consistantly opposing the way are country is going, even though that same government is one of the reasons why they can live so comfortably at home. Anyone in the world who doesn\'t have that freedom would die to have it, and the people who voted in Iraq showed that by risking their lives. I know I don\'t truley realize what I have, and I don\'t think I possibly could (and this goes for the rest of you as well) unless I have lived in conditions where I can\'t live as I do here.


Just writing how I felt, wasn\'t aiming anything I said at anyone in particular, more of the America peoples.

people want to blame everything and everyone but themselves

nobody\'s mad at the gov\'t it\'s just that some, well me in particular know that the u.s. did not do this for the iraqi people because they "CARE"...see how your beloved gov\'t already has you believing that? If that\'s the case why go some of those african countries that are running amok with corrupted governments and savage killings happening daily? please don\'t come with a remark of "well go back to africa or some such garbage" i pay enough taxes and work hard daily to earn my stay here...

the u.s. is thee best place to live, no doubt about it,  i\'ve known cats that went to england, france the islands and they still say the u.s. is where it\'s at...i\'ve stated before in another thread yea i guess we really don\'t know how good we have it...but at what cost abroad is the u.s. imposing it\'s foreign policy for the sake of us living the way we do? i\'m not even talkin about the war on terror...i mean in general?...nobody really knows how our gov\'t conducts itself outside of our borders except for we see on tv...

this country is slowly goin down the tubes...it\'s totally backwards without gettin into too much detail...bush has ordred another what 83 billion for the war, but then educational programs are bein cut, there will be zero social security for you and I at this point, and jobs....bush stated himself that there just isn\'t enough people working to support social security...add to the fact most of our IT jobs are bein outsourced to india and other countries abroad...nobody says anything about this yet it continues to happen...

bush states jobs are bein created that\'s bulls**t i don\'t think buliding a wendys or a mcdonalds down the street counts as true income...it\'s amazing how we can get money for wars almost immediately yet, money for  the basic fubdamentals of life get challenged or they say"we have no money in the budget for that"...:rolleyes:...end rant........

"I like my nations in constant revolution, and my booty wide."

nobody\'s mad at the gov\'t it\'s just that some, well me in particular know that the u.s. did not do this for the iraqi people because they "CARE"...see how your beloved gov\'t already has you believing that?

I never said that I believed we went to war to free the people. I know we went to war over "WMD\'s". But people complain that our soldiers are dying and the only reason they think they are dying is for the reason that our government said. It may not of been our initial reason for invading but it is one of the things that came along. So to say that people are dying over there for no reason is jsut a ludacris statement. People don\'t need to be told that freeing the Iraqi\'s is the main goal to see that the war is worth our men dying.


Thats all I meant by that.

I prefer raisins. I\'ve never had a sour grape...


Nobody is mad at the government, just shocked in disbelief that it\'s doing nothing more than selling us a story and continues to mislead Americans. The elections went smooth, but how does that benefit us in the long run? Saddam is out of power, but how was he a threat and could it have been stopped another way?

We would never know. And now we have Iran, North Korea and Lybia threatening us the way Iraq hasn\'t done in a while.

Now we watch this new budget cuts, amazing actually. There goes my neighborhood(HUD, Medicaid and on...)

Lybia is threatening us?  

About time someone cut some of these programs - they don\'t inspire people to make their lives better - they just give people a free ride.

What story exactly is the government trying to sell us? I haven\'t really listened to Bush or his people speak so all I have heard about the war is what the news tells me, so basically I hear all the bad news and just the really important good news.


I\'m just trying to argue the fact that some people say that we are wasting lives in Iraq when that is completly wrong, and if that\'s what you believe you are selfish and don\'t wish to help others. I\'m just saying people focus too much on the bad aspects of this war and are blind to the good. It is one of the least costly war life wise in history, we are bringing freedom to an entire nation and we are taking out terrorists. Of coarse were going to lose lives, but people seem to think that the amount we have lost is too much.

it\'s not that some think the amount is too much it\'s just that those young men and women lives didn\'t have to be extinguished so early in the first place...did bush really give those inspectors a chance? Nope he told them to get the hell outa there or risk gettin bombed...he didn\'t exhaust all of his options....from bush\'s stance and attitude at the time he wanted nothing else but to go to war, anyone watching bush from oct 02- march 03 knew that.

i\'m a little sesnsistive when it comes to s**t like this cause yea these are human lives not mere grunts you send to get slaughtered and then you say "well uh we didn\'t find those weapons but at least we bought libert and freedom to the iraqi people" :rolleyes:...point is bush was supposed to use war as a last option when clearly he didn\'t...

We should have just asked nicely for Saddam to step down, that would have been a better option.

how about stayin focused on the one guy who we know was responsible for 911? yea instead of overlooking him and going on some type of personal crusade to withdraw saddam...i also remenber n.kores poppin a whole lotta s**t straight to bushes face...yet we don\'t to fight them..heavens no let\'s talk with them :rolleyes:..yea yea i know n.korea possibly has nukes and would be too much of a risk yadda yadda yadda, but if you\'re so concerned of these so called wmd\'s and situation is grave, yet you say absolutley nothing when n.korea stated they will bring death to the u.s. if we launched an attack..i remember colin powell saying "we heard what n.korea stated and it\'s nothing more than empty threats" riiight...:rolleyes:

It\'s like an automated response from you guys.
