My email to Rick of "Rick and Bubba"

Rick and Bubba are radio morning show hosts that I have on when my alarm clock goes off so I wake up quickly and turn the alarm clock off. On a daily basis they spew religious rhetoric and pro war propaganda to their loyal and learned [not really] audience. Today, Rick was going on about the week or prayer, or day of prayer, whatever it was and was praising the troops for protecting us from the boogey man, I mean the terrorists. I decided to write Rick and ask him some questions. He probably won't read this, but at least it is written. So here it is...

Rick,

You seem to agree with Mr. Bush's foreign policy. As a former member of the Marine Corps (but really someone that reads a lot of foreign policy books but the marine corps part seems to garner more respect) I can tell you that anything we are doing right now is not protecting the United States. It is protecting globalists bankers and making them richer.

Let me offer you a few quick facts as to why we are where we are today.

1953 US and Great Brittan overthrows the democratically elected government of Iran and installs the shaw. He rules as a tyrant until 1979 when the Iranian revolution happened. Yeah they took some hostages, but how many people died in our engineering of the coup? We'll never know.

The reason for this was that BP wanted to get all the oil in Iran for free. Iran wanted to make a little money from it. HOW DARE THEM.

Now you're probably tired of reading this already but I must ask W.W.J.D.? You spew religious rhetoric constantly on the air yet you seem to be providing disinformation to your listeners. W.W.J.D.? Probably not that.

If I may suggest some further reading before you go on about how marvelous the troops are abroad protecting our Über elitist scumbags that run this country.
