Isn’t it ironic?
As we all know, just about everything in life can be looked at a couple different ways. I’ve noticed some things recently that sort of make me scratch my head and wonder.
As everyone may know, Mccain recently mocked Obama as being too much of a “celebrity” and compared him to Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton. However, wasn’t Ronald Reagan actually a celebrity? He was a TV host and President of the Screen Actors Guild right? – And it seems most republicans look at him as if he is the second coming. So I suppose McCain could have compared Obama to Reagan no? unlikely right.
Anyway, I also find it interesting (or ironic) that the most outspoken President against gay marriage in history, has seen more advances under his watch for homosexual protections than any other president. Many people voted for him because of this divisive issue and now gay marriage is more acceptable than ever before – it’s now even legal in a couple states. I’m not judging I’m just saying it sure is ironic.
In addition, the one president who claims to have kept us safe, while claiming that for example John Kerry, Democrats, etc., could not keep us (as) safe was the one president who was actually supposed to be at the wheel during one of the most horrific attacks on our soil in history.... hmmm…
Funny too how we're posturing against Iran, calling them evil, which I won’t discount here .. but it's the USA who signed a "doctrine" whereby we would not hesitate to invade another country 'preemptively' i.e. without provocation if we felt justified. It’s also the USA that leads the world in Nuclear stockpiles. McCain says we need to stop Iran from processing nuclear fuel – while also campaigning himself to create another 40+ nuclear power plants inside the U.S. We fear Iran using a Nuke, but the U.S. remains the only country to have ever used one – and ironically we dropped them on densely populated civilian cities to boot. We’re also the country that spends more on military than the next top 15 countries combined – and we recently manufactured evidence to justify invading another country.... but we need to keep a very close eye on Iran... hmm....
I also find it Ironic that the leader of the biggest evangelical Christian church (Haggard), who had regular access to the White House, turned out to be a homosexual crack head himself.
I’ve also always wondered how one can reconcile being pro-war, but also pro-life - you'll find this a lot on the "religious right" if you will. Can you on one hand say that death in war is just collateral damage so that the survivors can have a better life – when isn’t that also the justification a person might use when considering an abortion?
Things that make you go hmm…one's perception can become their deception.
