Is Ignorance bliss? All democrats out there?

Question

*Just so everyone knows, I didn't write this but I want some major feedback, come on democrats out there, I want to respond to her with the facts! What is your response to this?

George W. Bush, hates him. Everyone blames him for their money problems. For their maxed out credit cards, their sorry jobs, the gas prices, the war in Iraq, their family problems....everything. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? One man did not do this to you guys. Sweethearts, if you could learn to SAVE your HARD EARNED money, and stop spending it on things that you don't need, like ignorant gambling (which gambling is okay if you have loads of extra money) and stupid needless things such as christmas ornaments with personalized names, new appliances or decor for your house that you do not need, gucci purses and prada shoes, one night of partying at a famous club and throwing your money in the air....there are plenty of things we could cut back on...but george bush personally came to your house, adn told you how to budget your money...right? If people that are like 18 or 17 years old would stop having babies and getting married so early and starting families, or people would learn to spend money wisely, people would be alot less stressed out on debt issues. *credit cards* I watched the Obama speech tonight on channel 8, (and he had plenty thrown at his face on the tv btw) and he mentioned that he would FIX the maxed out credit cards; basically blaming George Bush on that....number 1, no one can fix that but the people that max them out. Stupid people...stop getting credit cards, and if you get them, pay them off. BLAME YOU instead of someone else. *sorry jobs* (if you're working a dead end job and aren't happy about it..go to school. Schools accept people of all ages, and even if it's expensive, get student loans and try to get scholarships, and if you have no money...you are eligable for grants :) May be high prices to pay when you graduate, but... no dead end job is quite worth it. Stop ******* up your own life. Save your money and grow up. :) Have a self realization moment and realize who is to blame. :) Gas prices: We are running of gas. Yes, george bush actually had him a "gas" party where he and all other republicans got totally wasted and drank all of our gas out of a keg. In case you didn't know...gas doesn't last forever. :) And that would also be our fault that we are running out...because we use it. Not a bad thing for us, things just run out. We are in demand for gas. We should find new ways to get around not using gas. Once again...blame it on someone or no-one right. When O bomb everyone gets in office, gas still will be a nonrenewable resource. Read your science books before you believe everything someone promises. THE WAR IN IRAQ. ah. No one likes war. War is horrible, right? Just pointless killing and endless fighting for no reason whatsoever. *i'm sure the US soldiers, who are indeed fighting for a purpose & at least they realize this (there is some hope) would love to know that they really have US supporting them. And if they are over there risking their lives, on volunteer circumstances, then there must be SOMETHING to fight for. For one...I'm sorry AMERICA have we forgotten what happened on September 11th...I know that we remember and cry and watch movies about it in school..only on that day, but what about every other day?? LEt me remind you...TERRORISTS (which are real and our next president was found to be working with one) took over American Planes and drove them into the twin towers, killing tons of people. It wasn't a threat on the us..it was an attack. Killing people is called an attack. It was a massacre. NOw...let's get into the heads of the people that died on that day because of these people. Do you think they are looking at the US right now and are proud that we are in war with these people over their life? yeah they are. Bush saw what happened, and made his decision...he didn't take a poll on what people thought, like clinton would have...because BUSH IS A LEADER. A leader does not make his decision on the decisions of others. input is okay, but why we elect a president is to rule this country, and that is what he did and does. :) Would you rather have the people coming here more to attack us more, or would you rather seek vengence by attacking them? I'm not a violent person at all, but I know what's right and wrong. And we are doing what is right. Also, we are in Iraq killing the members of the TALIBAN. Which is a group of people that strictly DICTATED Iraqi people. If yo udon't know what they do to these citizens...here's a few rules they have... 1.) Women are not allowed to get education, work, wear anything but an outfit covering everything but their eyes, & they had to paint their windows black so noone could see them. They get raped and beaten and shot everyday for no reason. 2.) the citizens are not allowed to listen to music,

Answer 1

too lazy to read the whole book, so ill comment on what i read

sounds like shes pretty much saying the president doesn't effect the state of the country.

"Would you rather have the people coming here more to attack us more, or would you rather seek vengence by attacking them"

those arn't the only two options, and theres better ways to go about it

he didn't take a poll on what people thought, like clinton would have...because BUSH IS A LEADER

bush is an employee , employed by our countrymen, to lead effectively and do what is best for the country not w/e the **** he wants.

really sounds like someone who is brainwashed by nice words and quick politics, then talks like they know what their talking about.

Answer 2

While it is true that Americans need to stop spending and INVEST their money in assets that isn't the solution to every problem.  China is taking over becasue they do what American's fail to do.  Save and buy assets like stock, businesses, real estate, commodities, web sites, and bonds.  If Americans did this we would have a better faster growing economy and factories and oil fields right here at home and out business assets would stay out of the hands of foreign countries.  However I think a lot of this is happening deliberately by the few elite.  Remember someone has to own these companies that put out this stuff like Gucci and all these crazy VIDEO GAMES that kids literally spend millions on every year and a lot of that money goes to china.

Answer 3

I agree, what most who have posted here don't get it that no matter what, we are ALL responsible for ourselves we need to all accept personal responsibility for our actions and self improvement.  

  For example, I saw a commercial for universal health care where a 50 something couple were talking about a friend who was just diagnosed with cancer, of course the first words the wife asked is, "Is he covered?"  The answer was something to the effect that he used to be but now he wasn't because he just went to work for a "start up" and they couldn't afford an insurance plan.  Now I know many of the posters here would scream how foul it was and that Bush was to be blamed and that this just goes to show how we need universal insurance for those who can't get it.  Yet, fail to catch the sentence that the guy Just went to work for a company that doesn't have insurance.  To me, He made the decision to forgo working at a company that had benefits, in an effort to make more money.  took a risk and lost, his choice, not Bush's fault.

Answer 4

Bush is a leader who makes poor policy choices that have affected all of us. Sure, there are irresponsible people out there, but when you are living on a budget, and gas goes up 2 dollars a gallon, food prices double, your mortgage goes through the roof, tuition for your kids and taxes are up, and your job is outsourced because big business gets subsidies and don't care about anything but cheaper labor anymore, because o policy decisions designed by and put into effect by, in essence, the leader, you have every right to be angry. Blame us for the poor economy and that we can't afford the inflation when they send out jobs away? That's entirely fair when the richest people keep getting richer and the poor keep getting more poor. It's not a matter of right and wrong, it's a matter of people who aren't poor don't know what it is like to be poor and tell others to work harder, be more responsible, they're lazy, it's their own fault, but when society frowns on the poor and makes it as hard as possible for them to rise up, it's not their fault when they're poor. I know there are people living outside their means, but that's not the case for many other people. Also, there were no terrorists in Iraq before we went there, Saddam was a bad dictator, but he had kept the terrorists from entering Iraq. I know many soldiers who feel the war is about oil and profits for the US rich and the rich middle-easterners who are in bed with them, and not about anything else, who disagree and wish to come home and not fight the war.

Guess there are 2 side to every story.

Answer 5

"Also, we are in Iraq killing the members of the TALIBAN. Which is a group of people that strictly DICTATED Iraqi people" WTF? Are you serious???

I read the whole thing, it was clearly written by a naive and ignorant person. It just generalizes so many complex things and backs them up with incorrect facts and blames them on the stupidity of the public.

Bush was a terrible president, I don't know how anyone can dispute that.

Answer 6

It's a rant. Not worth spending time on. George W Bush is an idiot and so is she.

Answer 7

1. why do Republcians always say we're in Iraq because of 9-11?

do they not respect the dead enough to even learn the facts?

or do they just not care and want to use it to support their ideas?

don't you think you owe the dead at least that much? maybe read a news story or the 9-11 report?

2. why do people not know how to handle money? have you ever thought about it? seriously?

have you ever taken a HARD look at our economy?

why don't they teach simple money management in high school? they don't... why not?

do you want to know?

because our economy is based almost entirely on debt spending... if everyone scrimped and saved... no one would be buying...

buying creates jobs of people making things that people buy...

in short... we're cashing out to make a buck now... as a nation....

to blame it on the individuals does nothing... you can go yell out your window all night long and nothing will change unless a change is in society as a whole...and that's not on the individual level...
