Back away from President Bush; he’s doing what’s best for America


It has come to my attention that this newspaper has devolved into just one big mouthpiece for Democrats.

As it has been pointed out, the fact that people voluntarily send articles that happen to favor Democrats is clearly evidence that this entire newspaper is far too liberal for its own good.

As a concerned patriot, I feel compelled to do whatever I can to bring balance to The Pacer.

There is no better way to do this than by defending our Republican powerhouse president, George W. Bush.

With the recent interview on NBC by Tim Russert, President Bush has come under fire from various liberal pundits on his answers to questions on the prewar intelligence in Iraq, the commission Bush has created to review it, and Bush’s service in the National Guard.

Despite these pinko skeptics coming down on Bush, he has nothing but this nation’s best interests in mind. I’m taking this opportunity to help all leftist America-haters understand how awesome Bush really is.

Some critics have attacked Bush recently on what went wrong with Iraqi intelligence. Apparently some “citizens” think lying to the American people for their own good is a bad thing.

Americans don’t have the keen foresight or the benefit of a Yale education to understand how to deal with the world. Some people balk at this pragmatism, but they’re obviously dumb and unrealistic. I suppose this is to be expected.

Ordinary, salt-of-the-earth American citizens shouldn’t bother their government. What they should be doing is watching the last season of Friends.

Thus, it was silly for Russert to ask if CIA Director George Tenet is going to lose his job or if Bush will testify before the commission. Tenet isn’t going to lose his job and Bush won’t inconvenience himself testifying for this commission because it’s much easier to come clean later on after everything’s blown over, i.e., Gulf of Tonkin incident.

As far as Bush’s service in the National Guard goes, it’s just not that important. He was honorably discharged, and that’s all that matters. We can trust that Bush is telling us what we need to know.

There’s things we don’t know, but must we bother our government with questions from us simpletons, who don’t understand how politics and the world really work?

Hassling those who keep this nation together and free from terrorism is unpatriotic. Just ask John Ashcroft.

Remember, democracy is great, as long as we don’t ask too many questions and the people who greatly contribute to our economy are content.
