Appeasement? Oh please...



I am so frustrated right now. A little bit of this frustration comes from losing to my younger brother in basketball once again, but that all seems insignificant at this point. What I'm feeling now stems from some right-wing idiots. Bill O'Reilly just stated that gas prices and health care have obscured or fight against terror.


REALLY?


Sure, attention has shifted away from homeland security towards our failing economy, uninsured, and sky-high gas prices. But to say that these issues have obscured is, well, absurd. These issues are far from obscure; they are issues that deserve the utmost devotion. Who cares that our fellow countrymen & women can't afford groceries, gas, or medical help?! Iran is scared of us!


REALLY? Obscure?


And then there are Bush's statements that Obama wants to appease terrorists...


REALLY?


Discussion is not appeasement. Talking is not giving in. I don't care how you try to frame it. Obama is not an idiot and he is not about to give power to any terrorists.



I understand people like O'Reilly and Bush trying to push some La-La Land ideas: What with Bush's horrible approval rating, the unpopularity of this war, and the shamble that is the Republican Party. But please, for everyone's sake...come back to reality.
