This country is really suffering from poor leadership. The leadership in this country has a real machismo sheriff mentality. They seem to have a dyslexic approach to democracy. For the Republicans’ information, Jesus was not the prince of pre-emptive strikes — he was the prince of peace.
Every time the Republicans give the American people a black eye, there is Anne Coulter playing the battered wife. After every Republican blunder, she’s there with, "I didn't like that either, but they didn't mean it, and they won't do that again. What would I do without them?� Hopefully, she’ll run out of shockingly stupid remarks so she can go away.
President Bush talked about "family values." I thought the worst-case scenario was "The Waltons," but, no, it’s “The Sopranos." It is very scary for those who love freedom. Who would have thought the conservative party would come up with this stuff?
We have a vice president who drank alcohol and shot his friend in the face with a shotgun. What does it take?
You can't kidnap, torture and kill your way to heaven. That's what our enemy is trying to do. The way Saddam Hussein’s trial in Iraq is going, he will be lining up for a birdie shot on a golf course in Florida with O.J. Simpson in a couple of months.
Please don't let the Republicans confuse you with steroids in baseball, flag burning or gay marriage. Don’t let them confuse you with things that are much less important than how we are going to get out of the fix they got us in.

The Star edited my letter. This does not upset me. They are just trying to protect me from a long prison sentence in a offshore communist country without charges.
But they edited part of the letter I felt important. That was, "Anne Coulter's love for the Republicans is simular to the love Hitler's dog had for his owner". I think that was an important part of my letter. Many Republicans feel the Republicans can't do any wrong and are above the law. I believe that if they are warned to become sensitive to giving any party freedom to break the laws of the United States the world would become a better place.
Michael,
Please put away your pen and pencil and go back to hunting down gang members. At least that crazy comment made some sense.
What's your full name KC? I like to know who I am talking to.
The Republicans are gang members.
The TOKERS that I am currently hunting in Thousand Oaks aren't enough to cure my appetite.
I need something I can sink my teeth into.
When you make generalizations and false allegations like "the Republicans are gang members" you lose all credibility. If you're trying to persuade people with your arguments you can't do it by slandering 50% of the general population and calling them names.
Slander is being called "unpatriotic" when your trying to prevent a war. The Republicans sold the Iraq war like a used car and now the whole country is broken down on the side of the road.
I am doing this for Alex Fiore. The Republicans are such bad leaders it really makes me miss Alex Fiore. He did not work so hard to make Thousand Oaks the greatest city in the world to have gangs in it.
As my Aunt Gertrude used to say,
"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense".
Michael -
I think you are one penny short of a dollar. When you make statements like, "The TOKERS that I am currently hunting in Thousand Oaks aren't enough to cure my appetite" you can't expect to be taken seriously.
I will be at the corner of Erbes Road and Sapra in Thousand Oaks at midnight tonight with $500.00 cash in my pocket if you or any punk gangmembers would like to see how serious I am.
If you can take it from me it's all yours. In the meantime, if anybody knows of any gangmembers in Thousand Oaks and would like to provide me with some information on how I could find them please call: 805 300-8190.
Standing on a street corner looking for a fight is not a good way to convince others of your intelligence or maturity.
I know I wish President Bush would smartin up and act a little bit more mature.
Did President Bush ever find that $8 billion dollars that is unaccounted for?
I still have my big wad of $20's....
We’ve seen how a paltry pun, a phrase, those perceptions personal to style, how the right writing can drag daily life in its drudgery and exhilaration, with its restless elevators, its solemn ceremonies, from one present tense to another and another and another—for today my little dog did deign to know me, and though I was not a warrior returning in rags, I was a warrior returning in rags; a saucer enabled my cup to warm my fingers, and I felt an old friend on the lip of a story.
In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
