Dennis Miller

I got this in my e-mail today and I thought I would share it with you all.

Dennis Miller:

All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides, but i have detected a hint of confusion from some of you. As i was reading the paper recently, i was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me. He told me about the kiss method (keep it simple, stupid!). So, with this as a theme, i'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts. Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue:

1) between president bush and saddam hussein... Hussein is the bad guy.

2) if you have faith in the united nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind: they have libya heading the committee on human rights and iraq heading the global disarmament committee. Do your own math here.

3) if you use google search and type in "french military victories," your reply will be: "did you mean french military defeats?"

4) if your only anti-war slogan is "no war for oil," sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve.

5) saddam and bin laden will not seek united nations approval before they try to kill us.

6) despite common belief, martin sheen is not the president. He only plays one on tv.

7) even if you are anti-war, you are still an "infidel" and bin laden wants you dead, too.

8) if you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy," but not in the danger that hussein poses, quit hanging out with the dell computer dude.

9) we are trying to liberate them. He is trying to kill us.

10) whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.

"Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation".

Absolutely! - And we're loosing the PR Campaign. Arab TV is only showing Anti-War Protests - Propaganda at it's finest.

If you support our troops and our country, look for a Pro-Troop/War Rally in your area and join in. I'm going to one tomorrow. Our Guys and Gals in the Armed Services need to know there ARE people who SUPPORT THEM and they're willing to SHOW IT!

Cowboy - My best friend's son is a Marine fighting with the front line in Iraq right now. Another pal of mine is a personal friend of POW Dave Williams. I sure hope you weren't yawning at me.

I'm tired of being late for work because anti-war protesters are laying down on the roads and highways during rush hour. I do believe my truck is going to have a case of brake failure if it happens again.

lauriet1...... My yawning wasn't directed towards any-one in this forum, it was directed at Dennis Miller the topic of conversation in the particular thread...... Not a fan of dennis miller and I was glad to see him leave Monday Night Football.. Sometimes his taste in humor is rather off-key... Just my opinion about him, if you like him great..........

If your woried about my Patriotism don't loose any sleep over it......... If they need someone to defend our country I"m right there with anyone else holding my M16......

As for protestors............ I new I bought a 4X4 for a reason...... Lock it in and see how quick they move. I bet there chains, and laying down in the street would end quick...... I guess then I would be having a convo with

Wow that really surprises me that Miller would say that. I would have thought him another Hollywood liberal. But I am glad he is not. Right on Dennis for using your head before you speak, for once.

They definitely wouldn't be doing that infront of my vehicle.

I'm with you cowboy02 on the Dennis Miller thing - his humor sometimes is just too degrading - notice I said sometimes, for you fans out there.

What really turned me off on him was he just got WAY too into slamming West Virginians (He's from Pittsburgh, or lived there for some time, I think). Now, don't get me wrong, I like a little hillbilly humor as much as the next West Virginian (lived there about 12 yrs of my life), but he just got too personal. Know when the say when, you know!!

But his comments here were right on, though.
