DEAR MR PRESIDENT...REMIX

Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President,
How many more faces must die
with banners in their hometown waving their name, birth, and death date,
before this madness will stop and people to take notice?
Tears of sorrow
Won't stop this.
Candlelight vigils in remembrance won't stop what's going on now.
The people of the world seem to believe in our Constitution more than we citizens do.
What does that tell you?

We all must live up to the responsibilities Our Constitution places upon us.
If we don't,
who are we to criticize while our children die?
They, too, expect us
To live up to our Constitution,
Don't you Mr. President?

War romanticized.
Children disillusioned by the $5k sign-on bonus.
They sign up for opportunity.
Hoping for the chance that alone they might not achieve.
I pray they get to spend it.
I pray they survive and come home with an undamaged mind.

I weep for them and all they have seen
that I never will pretend to comprehend.
Then to be expected to come home,
Act normal and PRETEND it never happened.

One by one our kids are dying,
their sons and daughters crying.
Mothers grieving, wives mourning.
Those in power hell-bent on destroying,
all in the name of freedumb.

Destruction and chaos paves our road to uncertainty.
Our children signing up to be patriotic,
meanwhile the administration acts more psychotic.
And we act as if our presence liberates those we dominate.

As the missiles are fired,
I'm night vision TV watching
the green screen is distancing the reality
of what I am SEEING
real People really dying.

Jessica and her team captured.
And supposedly tortured, but that's not what Jess says.
Jessica saved
More marines killed,
The Statue falls
Yet we're still at war
with no locale on WMD's or Bin Laden.
Aren't those the things we were hunting?

There's no resolve in sight,
Our children fight and die
for some other country's freedom.
I say screw you and you're oil.
Who do you really think you're kidding?
News just out that this war is leading to
Further Middle East destabilization.
Yet the administration
Is budgeting on fur more years of occupation.

Now don't misconstrue
what I'm saying to you.
I LOVE our troops.
I respect their courage, desire to protect
and the discipline they exhibit in following orders.
Without our soldiers,
What would we have?
Not even a land to stand upon to call our country,
Even I know that.
But that's not an excuse to sit back and do nothing
while their bloody bodies fall to the sand.
Their wide youthful eyes looking up wondering, "why did this happen to me?"
I pray to god, they make it home safely to their families.

But this fight,
Mr. President,
That you're putting our gals and guys in,
Wake up cowboy,
We ain't gonna win.
This is Vietnam all over again.
How can this not be seen by you and your advising team?
This cycle of violence
is one the United States is perpetuating.
Attempting to covert the entire world to our way of thinking.
When did that become our responsibility to covert all to the right wing Christian form of belief?
Turning countries against us and emotionally scarring American families
and they wonder why mental illness in the U.S. is on the rise.

Land of the free
Yes, that we USED to be.
Now day by day,
we're getting stripped of our civil liberties.

Mr. President,
Our Amendments I and IV are nearly gone and
You say this is what is needed to protect us and to catch the infamous "them".
Meanwhile, American citizens are becoming boxed in.
Losing the rights we used to take for granted.

If we don't stand up now,
In 10 years, what will we have left?
Now simply voicing these concerns can be
Twisted and viewed as a terrorist act,
Please tell me,
whatever happened to my protections under the 4th amendment act?

I wonder how soon it will be before we start hearing the term
American refugee.
Red, white, and agree or we'll shoot.
Ya, land of the free.
Mr. President,
This is not the country I thought our Constitution guaranteed it would be

Increases in security? You call that giving up rights?Yea, it really makes me mad because I have to get to the airport 30 minutes early for security purposes. The only people I hear questioning our way of life are apologist liberals like Obama.And you. The fact that we can still go about our lives with little if any change is due to men and women who are not politically correct idiots. Like Bush and Cheney. They did what needed to be done. That is what makes liberals mad.

@GIspecialty you must be kidding right? You must be naive to think that. How can you explain the increases in security, or how we are questioning our own doctrine "all men created equal"

you might want to do some research on social contracts since they explain beyond a doubt that you MUST give up something to gain anything in a society, start with "Leviathan".

More left wing bullshit. Totally detached from the real world. George Bush did what no liberal will do. he takes on our enemies and does not apologize for it to anyone. What rights did you lose? Cannot get a coherent answer from any left wing loon.

[Cottonsnake88]

I fully agree with you.I agreed with this thinking three wonths ago and I have been seeing this trail growing to maps in my life. I am not a soothe sayer or a conspiracy nut by any means. I am a citizen of these United States. I am an Old Hippie that has seen through my eyes the continual breaking down of our nation. Obama said it all on hhis campaign trail. Seems few caught what he ws telling us will happen. I grand orator who fooled many. He now cocks setting socialism forward. World Gov!~!

Our Presidents sleep well..they sleep on silk sheets paid for with the blood of our sons and daughters. They have elaborate parties paid from the broken backs of our mothers and fathers...and they will attack more countries using our troops as cannon fodder in order to complete their agenda of world domination and a one world government. They will take away our freedoms while telling us that it is for our safety but we will surely lose both in the end. Good bye America Hello Amerika.
