Look Whose Life Bush Destroyed

While doing a search on the Web today we came across this fascinating "letter" posted on e-thepeople.org. Take a gander: [See the letter below.]


Bush cost me my job, my kids and my houses

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions.

They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job.

This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years.

Not a single government program was there to help me.

How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush.

And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian. If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party.

If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Regards,

Saddam Hussein

How ironic isn't it?

Martin Luther King Day

MLK Day is coming up, and it is time to pay respects to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for standing up to segregation and bigotry. His courage under fire is an inspiration for anyone going through tough times. He inspired Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu to fight against the aparthied system. He inspired not only African Americans, but also Latinos, Native Americans, etc to fight for respect.

King was also inspirational in being unintimidated by racist black militants who wanted to "Kill Whitey". King believed in racial reconciliation, not racial retaliation. Unfortunately, too many non-white radicals still believe in racial retaliation! Racial retaliation is the most counter-productive thing anyone can be involved in. King understood that 2 wrongs dont make a right!

I dont agree with King's socialistic economic ideas, but none of that erase all the good things he has done for America and the World.

More on the Hawaii-Houston scrap

Here is one letter to the Honolulu Advertiser defending the Hawaii football brawl, appearing on 1/7/04


Warriors were simply defending themselves

After reading the initial blast of negative letters about the Hawai'i Bowl game, the UH players and June Jones, I thought I should balance the scale.

I was working on the field and had close-up observations from start to finish, which included Houston players trying to intimidate UH players with overly abusive taunting and cheap-shot punches throughout the game. It actually started from the warm-up period. Seemed that a Houston strategy was to scare the Hawai'i boys into losing the game.

Do the letter writers expect UH players to let Houston players continue to punch and kick them throughout the entire game if the refs don't stop the offenders?

The Hawai'i players were defending themselves and their teammates. After the initial pushing and shoving, the Houston players initiated the vicious punches and kicks, including flying blindside kicks. The Hawai'i players fought back. Some of the Houston coaches were double-palm-thrust pounding Hawai'i players in the chest instead of concentrating on pulling their own players back. When several Houston players got a Hawai'i player pinned down on the turf and pummeled him with vicious punches and kicks, the Hawai'i players went berserk. Does anyone think that the other Hawai'i players should run away from a teammate in peril?

The UH players played their hearts out and left it all on the field for themselves and for us, the people of Hawai'i. They deserve much more from the uninformed false-crack critics.

BCS - Bull Crap System

All the whining about the college football Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has been about Southern Cal not being in the Sugar Bowl! But that stuff is miniscule on my beef with the whole BCS system!

BCS only allows schools from big-time conferences and Notre Dame (if it's team has enuff wins, which it didn't this season) to compete in its bowl games. That means Boise State (WAC), Utah (Mountain West), Southern Miss (Conference USA) and North Texas (Sun Belt) and Navy (independent team with winning record) are locked out! But how do we know if those teams can go toe-to-toe with the BCS teams come postseason!

What college football needs is a playoff system. The champions of 11 Division 1-A conferences, and 5 at large bids (with independents and major conference 2nd place teams) will play in a 16 team playoff! (Credit to Ferd Lewis of Honolulu Advertiser for this idea). Or have a 32 team playoff! This is how championships are supposed to be determined. Not with polls!

Plus, it will give Hawaii more incentive to win more games, instead of relying on the Hawaii Bowl.

But the people's love of bowl games, plus the $$$ generated by bowls will keep the playoff system from happening anytime soon!
