Yo
George…I'm Calling You Out!!!
By Allan P. Duncan opednews.com
Up until Clinton was elected, I've considered every American President
during my lifetime to be an old man. Since Clinton and George W. Bush are
relatively the same age as me, I look upon them more as peers than older
people who I was raised to respect.
Now when I look upon Bush and Clinton I think about what they must have
been like in high school and can see them walking down the same halls of
the high school I went to in South Jersey in the 60's.
Bill Clinton is a guy I think I might have hung out with back then. He's
not afraid to sling on a pair of dark shades and grab a sax and wail to a
beat that moves his soul. I can't say the same for George Bush. When was
the last time we ever saw George W. Bush move his ass to any kind of beat
at all? I mean the man squints in the 110 degree Texas sun rather than
shade his eyes. What does that tell you?
In my day when you had a problem with another guy you called him out. You
either confronted him directly or had friends talk to the guy's friends
and then issued a challenge to meet him face to face to work out your
differences. Sometimes we simply talked things out. When they couldn't be
talked out we fought them out.
With that in mind I'm calling my peer George W. Bush out!
You see folks, I'm sick and tired of this guy and can't take it any more.
I need to reconcile these feelings before they consume me any more. I'm
tired of seeing people suffer under his policies and feel a deep need to
take matters into my own hands before more innocent people are hurt
because of this freakin' dolt.
I mean this guy is running our country even though he lost the 2000
election by 500,000 votes. He acts as though he is operating under a
mandate of the American people and that's simply not true.
George was born with a platinum shovel in his mouth and has been shielded
from what the majority of Americans experience in their lifetimes. He
attended private prep schools and got into Ivy League colleges because of
his family connections and never had to trudge through a lower or middle
class life like the majority of us have.
This guy then enters his adult life and fails in every single venture
handed to him on a silver platter! He goes AWOL during his service in the
Texas Air National Guard and avoids the Vietnam War, gets arrested for
cocaine possession and drunken driving and then gets appointed President
of the United States even though he wouldn't have passed the national
security background checks that members of his own staff had to go
through. Is something wrong with this picture or is it just me?
I don't think it's me and that's why I'm calling him out. It's time that
someone has the guts to stand up to him and confront him face to face.
Yo George…I know you have the Secret Service protecting you 24/7, but
grow a "set" for the first time in your life, be a real man and
meet me face to face. I have a lot of things to discuss with you and as an
American citizen I demand answers.
I'm willing to meet you mano a mano in the Rose Garden, the Oval Office,
at your ranch in Crawford or anywhere your heart desires. If you have the
guts, come to the ghettos of Camden, New Jersey near where I grew up or in
South Philly where I was born. Anytime, any place.
You see I have a bone to pick with you. On 9-11 you failed to protect my
brothers and sisters. Nearly 3,000 innocent souls lost their lives that
day because you refused to listen to threats of impending terrorist
attacks and did absolutely nothing to defend the American people.
I've come to know a lot of the people who lost their loved ones on 9-11
and my heart breaks a bit more every day when I hear about how these folks
are suffering. It was your direct responsibility as Commander-In Chief to
protect those lost that day and I don't know how you can look your face in
the mirror knowing that they died as a direct result of your incompetence.
George, it is also apparent that you lied to us about the reasons for
going to war with Iraq. Now, besides those innocent souls who lost their
lives on 9-11, our sons and daughters are losing their lives on a daily
basis because you chose to send them into a situation that was based more
on political motives than on real threats to our national security.
For someone who has never had to face a real gunman face-to-face, you have
real balls. For someone who has never had to send a family member to war,
you make me sick. Think for a moment what it would be like for Barbara and
Jenna to strap on a flak jacket in 130 degree heat and then visualize them
taking fire from Iraqis who hate your guts for killing their family
members and occupying their country.
In my neighborhood, we were raised to be honest and to take care of each
other. We may have had differences, but in the end we were always there
for each other. I graduated from the New Jersey State Police Academy in
1972 and the first thing the Troopers told us in our very first moment of
our very first class was to "take care of our brothers."
I've never forgotten those words George and that's why I'm standing up for
my brothers and sisters now. That pledge I took to take care of my
brothers meant more to me than protecting the men and women who chose to
wear a blue uniform and place a badge on their chests. It meant to me that
I had a responsibility to protect and serve everyone everywhere to the
best of my ability. I will take that pledge to my grave.
So thats why I'm calling you out George. I'm standing up for the 9-11
Families and for the families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I'm standing up for the millions who have lost their jobs under your watch
while your cronies like Ken Lay remain free even though they bilked their
companies of billions and left their employees broken and battered and
without the pensions they had earned. I'm standing up for the homeless,
the poor and for all of the kids living in poverty even though you made a
pledge to "leave no child behind".
You are a hypocrite, a poser and a fraud George and its time somebody got
in your face and called you out.
Let me know the time and place and I'll be there with bells on.
