21. You'll just have to nurture your assumption that people who didn't
agree with Chucklenuts are lying. I know it comforts people to believe
that all Americans were joined as one during those days but it's a BIG FAT myth perpetuated by the media and the Bush administration.

Some of us were actually worried about the aftermath more...sorry, but true. Some of us were more concerned about how Shrub would use this tragedy to further his agenda. This doesn't mean we didn't grieve over the deaths that day...it just means we knew Shrub would use those deaths to attack America in his own way. So, no, I didn't feel connected to those Americans calling for revenge or embracing an illegally selected president like he was some kind of savior...not one particle of connection to them. Still don't.

"I was sitting there when the president said you are either with us or you are with them...he meant those who had just flown airplanes into three buildings and killed, at that time, untold numbers of our own people. And I agreed with him, anyone who says they weren't doing the same, to me, is lieing." - Mabeline


I didn't agree with him. He was wrong then and he's wrong now.
