Truth Has Lost All Meaning
RECEIVED Thu., Aug. 30, 2007
Dear Editor,
We are so far into the looking glass that the truth has lost all meaning. The Government Accountability Office has to release the truth about Iraq secretly. If the war was going as well as President Bush and the Republican Party keeps insisting, why does the report have to be released secretly? Why does President Bush have to rewrite Gen. David Petraeus’ progress report? Because things are going so well that Gen. Petraeus might overstate the progress? We have been lied to for almost five years now, and thousands of our soldiers are dead. When will we stand up and say enough? When will it be your turn to stand up? Or are we too far gone to ever recover? The Bush administration and the conservative government is a house of cards. Two million more people do not have health insurance. You, yes you, can be jailed and tortured without trial. How can this happen? Through limitless wiretapping and data-mining your purchases. Maybe the reason our senators and congresspeople cannot stand up to resident Bush is they are being blackmailed like in the John Grisham novel The Firm. Who among you can believe anything President Bush or a Republican tells you about anything? I close with these words: I double-dare you to do something about this conservative nightmare. Call a congressman or senator; write a letter like this one; tell a friend that you’ve had enough; hold your breath; just get involved. Your country is lost!
