I had left the country in early 2001, in absolute disgust, after the Bush theft of the election and the unelected impostor usurper's 'coronation'.
The only worries I had after the attack was for all the people that were harmed, and that they were going to take away a bunch of our rights, kill a bunch of people in a war over nothing, and take our country down the tubes. I was safe, sound, and very sad, when I heard the news in my little casita on a beautiful beach in Mexico.
To this day, I have never seen footage of the attack on 9/11. I haven't wanted to see it, and I never want to see it. It disgusts me that so many of the people of my country could be fucking stupid enough to swallow the fantasy of the whole neocon debacle.
When Obama called us "sanctimonious" for wanting the war criminals' and torturers' heads on pikes, I
pretty much lost respect for him again, and any trust I had regained. Every time he does something good, I think, "Well, maybe this guy is all right after all." And then he calls me sanctimonious for wanting some of the worst domestic enemies our country has ever had, punished for the vile mass murder and torture they were responsible for.
That's the type of bullshit I would expect from a moderate conservative preppie timeshare salesman in an Izod alligator logo shirt, trying to lie me into buying a worthless dream I could never afford.
That little off the cuff comment totally pissed me off to no end.
