So on Monday, scores of Americans took to the streets, waving flags and celebrating the death of Osama binLaden! And I ask you, where are the demonstrations - the public engagement - when taxes are raised, jobs are cut, and gas prices go through the roof??? Is it me, or does that seem a little backwards???
Hey, if binLaden is dead, GREAT, but personally, I think we have a few more important issues to deal with right here at the homefront!!! How about showing some support for our own??? Instead, it seems we're inclined to just bend over and take it...from "Big Brother" and Corporate America! (Usually without lubrication, ouch!) Why is that I ask you!!!
Have we become so complacent that individual thought is no longer a good trait? Are we all waiting to be told what to do and think??? Or have people become completly passive, because they figure that they can't make a difference anyway, so why bother???
This country voted for President Obama, because we the people were ready for change! Well, change is not easy. It's a process that takes time and committment from all parties involved. And all I see is a bunch of whining and complaining and name calling, but no effort or grit from the general populous (myself included). What gives???

What's the deal with binLaden's death??? Part 2
Just a quick thought that popped into my mind as I read this mornings news...As more details of the "coup" emerge, it is made clear that the President gave the kill order! What do you think that binLaden sympathizers will do with this knowledge??? You can bet your bottom dollar that a retaliation is being plotted as we speak. I'm thinking that our President should be mighty careful from now on...I would hate to see him assassinated!!!
On second thought, maybe that's what this is all about!!! So many people want to get rid of him (myself NOT included!) and in order to pull off something like that you need a solid scapegoat!!! I guess al-Qaida is good for something...

What's the deal with Osama binLaden's death???
Ding, dong the witch is dead!! But wait, isn’t the timing just a little too convenient? And he was buried immediately at sea? Really? I guess that means we’ll have to believe what the Government tells us, and you know that they never lie!!! Psshht!
To me this is just another move in a mighty “chess” game that we will never understand, because we just don’t have all the information. You can take to the bank that we are told ONLY what they want to tell us! Yeah, yeah, there she goes again with “they.” I know!
I for one will never believe that a country as powerful as the US didn’t have an inkling that 9/11 was coming. “They” knew and allowed it to happen! Now in “their” defense, I’m sure that the “they” didn’t envision the enormity of the devastation. “They” needed a plausible reason to go to war, and voila’, 9/11. My guess would be that Mr. binLaden has been sitting pretty somewhere, courtesy of our Government. Because I also don’t believe for one minute that our Government hasn’t been able to find him in all this time. Hogwash!
Since I haven’t seen the body, I’m not even inclined to believe he is dead now (and he was buried at sea, how convenient)…or perhaps he’s been dead for quite some time, but they saved this revelation for the right moment. Could be that our current administration thought they needed a boost in their ratings, or a concrete reason to pull out of Afghanistan. Maybe the reason is more complicated. Either way, I’m not buying!
And lastly, just because he is dead doesn’t mean al-Qaida is no longer a threat. (Rhyme completely unintentional) And to all the Christian’s condemning the Muslim faith and celebrating his death…ahem, if I remember correctly, you’re supposed to love thy enemy…whatever happened to turning the other cheek??? Are you really any better???
