We've Partied Too Much!

I don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Green,  Independent, Vegan, Carnivore, Gay, Non-Gay, Black, or People from Another Country.  I don't care which Party you're going to.  I don't care what kind of Party animal you are.  I do care that you may have let your party hat slide down over your eyes.

 
Hey, this isn't about parties, this is about the United States of America!
 
This is about a really bad thing that's happened and is still happening to our country.  This is about our country declaring war on another country for false reasons.  Hey that's it!  People have been killed, lots of our people, lots and lots of theirs.  They all died, but they didn't have to!  You see what I'm saying?  Dead people, little kids, big kids, old people, young people, men, women, they are all dead today, and it was because of something that was done, a decision that was made, and your name is on it.  I don't think you would want your name on something like that, but it's there along side my name.  Of course it had to be forged.  Your name and my name were forged onto a fake check that bought the deaths of all those people.  Someone in Washington bought this war, and they forged our names on the check that they used to pay for it.  Hell, if you don't care about all the needless deaths, maybe it will bother you when you get your bank statement and you see how much you paid.  Oh baby, you paid!  You paid, and you're going to be paying for a long long time.  Yep, no matter what we think now, we were framed, and as a result we got war!  And that's what caused all those people to die.  I guess they tried to get other countries to help buy this war, but just about all the other countries were pretty slick, they saw right through the razz-ma-tazz and they said "nope"in a lot of different languages.
 
So we did the war, killed way too many people, scared the leader of Iraq away, and now we have a horrible mess.  People are still getting killed.  We tore up their country and now we have to put it back together again.  Right about now their country is looking very Humpty Dumpty-ish.  It doesn't matter about the king's horses and the king's men, it appears what we will need is a king's ransom! 
 
Right in the middle of this war, just to make things worse, the President of the United States issued an invitation to all our enemies to sort of "Come on down".  I guess he thought that as long as we had all of our war-fighting stuff out, hell, let's just fight everyone who wants to fight.  Well, apparently there were a lot of positive rsvp's to that invite, because now we're fighting people and we don't even know who the hell they are or where the hell they came from. They gave a war and it appears everyone came.  As if things weren't bad enough with one war going on, they tried to start a zillion little ones, and they succeeded.
 
Other countries think we are real jerks now.  At one time they liked us, but now they don't.  No silly party hats over their eyes, no sireee.  They see us, and they see us as big struttin' lyin' potential enemies.  It's not your fault that they see us this way, but that's the way we look to them now.  We look really bad, because in our name some really bad stuff has been done.  And that's what I want you to see!  No matter your Party or religion or origin, no matter what, this was all done in your name and you should be just so mad you feel like you're going to scream.  You should be maximumly ticked.  You should yank off that silly Party hat and realize that it's not about a Party, it's about our freakin' country.  While your Party hat was down over your eyes, somebody totally screwed our country and now that you can see clearly, don't you want to do something to make our country well again?  That will happen a hell of a sight faster and we can work a hell of a sight harder if you and I don't have to keep fussing with those damn silly hats.   Let's fix our country and when we're done, then we can put on our Party hats again.  Then we can have all kinds of Parties with all kinds of hats!
