I honestly don't understand why so many of my peers, and while you're not one of us, you're certainly in that group, are such a bunch of socialist left-leaning freaks. Yes, the Republicans can be uncomfortably too pro-business, yes some of them are a little morally pushy, but mark my words: the Republicans of the last twenty years have done far more to protect the principles this nation was founded on then the Democratics have ever been.
As a former Marine, I know full too well what a bunch of sniveling, whiny cowards many leftist Dems are, but who do they turn to when they need military intervention or protection? Those of us on the right. I wonder why. They are so quick to gut the very branches that won our freedoms, without considering--until its far too late--just what it takes to *preserve* those freedoms.
Contrary to your incredibly short-sighted assertion that Bush will hurt long-term education goals by not concentrating on tech, he will do exactly the opposite--he will *improve* our long-term prospects. What this country needs
is not slavish devotion to all things geek, it needs a solid foundation in critical thinking, coupled with an accurate historical perspective. They will be taught that discipline and personal responsibility will enable to learn *any* field, and to succeed in it. That's something you'll never see in a self-perpetuating welfare state that can never be held accountable for its own
actions, which is exactly what the Democrats have won us.
Let me be clear: I'm a McCain supporter, I'm not pleased with Bush, either. But having actually have made a personal sacrifice, as every generation of my family has done, for the preservation of this great nation, I know all too
well that the lesser of the two evils is most definitely Bush in contrast to Gore.
I'm a geek, I am a registered Independent voter, and I have done my duty to serve my country. And I find it incredibly aggravating that the vast majority of leftist whiners are those who have never made that personal sacrifice for something greater than themselves, but are nonetheless not only entitled to the fruits of *our* sacrifice, but are also entitled to push *their* political agendas. I find it even more aggravating that biased writers like yourself (you most certainly do *not* deserve the title of a "journalist") participate in right wing bashing, instead of presenting all sides of the story.
