Us baggers blab on and on about Democrats redistributing wealth (sometimes using other terminology, but a terminology with the same meaning as redistribution of wealth), when we haven't a first graders understanding that this country has always "distributed wealth from taxes." We baggers are a bit slow, and may someday understand this simple truth but sadly I doubt it.<br /><br />Calling the First Family "monkeys" is something of which I do not approve; but I do chuckle when I read other people say it. And the First Amendment covers one's right to refer to Africa-Americans as monkeys, and, in fact, GWB was often portrayed by caricaturists as a simian of sorts, even though white people were never demeaned and characterized as apes in order to dehumanize them as white people dehumanized people of African descent all through our shameful history. <br /><br />Nevertheless, it's our world and what we think and how we behave is always correct, even if it's in bad taste and racist.A Conservative's Thoughtshttp://images.huffingtonpost.com/2007-09-14-bush.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-33041372876243665312014-09-05T17:19:49.785-04:002014-09-05T17:19:49.785-04:00Procecuting a war is quite costly.
