Ahead of The Posse...  It is disturbing to me--and possibly a few others --to see Ol' G. W. running around acting like some wild western sheriff, adorned in a ten gallon hat and cowboy boots with a rusty six-shooter by his side, when it comes to his dealings with the Afghans and other so-called terrorist groups.... In this country a person is supposedly INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty--but there's Ol' G. W. acting like some 'extra' in a PHONY John Wayne movie, ready to mete out his own brand of westernized justice, sitting SMALL in the saddle, strutting, and bellowing out: "The varmints just got away wit' murder--but that's no problem!!! We'll head em' off at the pass! Let's go round us up a posse so's we can HOG-TIE and BRAND those critters befo' we brings em' to bear!! "I want ever red-blooded man--in this here county--to partake in this bless-sed mission--and make sure they brings enough TAR AND FEATHERS fo' they filthy hides once we gets them corralled!!! "Theys gon' try to hide in the mountains but not to worry--WE'LL SMOKE EM' OUT!!  I want em' DEAD OR ALIVE!!!! But the latter will suffice.... "Don't shoot until you see the whites of theys eyes!!! I want them dad-gum' suckers to suffer fo' theys deed, first....Then we'll HANG EM' HIGH!!! "The fools has until sundown to accept our demands--and if theys don't....maybe GOD will have mercy on them--BUT WE SHO' WON'T!!!!!!" This is ridiculous, primitive, and embarrassing behavior from someone in such a high office and his party. A BULLY on the street corner could do just as well..... It is this type of boorish and xenophobic behavior that demeans and sullies the memory of those who perished in flames of hatred in N.Y.C. While we are trying to reconcile ourselves--after the fact--and console those who have suffered losses of family and friends....we have a president running around like WYATT EARP, with a lasso in hand, ready to STRING someone up..... These actions, after such a tragic turn of events, make the USA no better than those who perpetrated this act and causes anyone who values their freedom to wince in indignation...Because, as always, it's the PEOPLE who pay the price for actions made by detached and out-of-touch heads of states who are just jockeying trying to get the upper POWER hand....... They will just use this incident to strip away our freedom of movement and political expression. ANYONE that it deems a so-called 'terrorist'--whether it be the N.O.I. or Black Panther movement will be under close scrutiny after the passage of stringently worded terrorist legislature AND THIS IS THE PLAN...... Why don't we just line all of the heads of states up, each with a baseball bat, and let THEM fight it out until the last man is standing.... I'll tell you what's better than that.........ELECT ME, NEXT TIME!!....(SMILE)!!! p.s. May God be with the victims, families, and friends of the World Trade Center tragedy.....And much love to the Warrior Queen, who inspired this article....
