Note to the US Republicans

One question for the GOP and the other people who are pro-war-anywhere, especially given that September 11 is fast approaching:

Where is Osama bin Laden?

(NO, Barack Obama is NOT Osama bin Laden... he's not even the same ethnic group!)

From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patriotism

patriotism
Main Entry: pa·tri·ot·ism

I refuse to be nationalistic. Patriotic is something else entirely.

I object to Sarah Palin because:

- She is against abortion in all cases including rape and incest. (As well as birth control... )
- She wants to drill in the ANWR. Which will do very little other than pollute the area and likely not reduce dependence on foreign oil.
- (fill in others here)

Being female has nothing to do with it.

+++++

Anyway...
