No Border Fence; Yes to the Turtle Fence?
On this week’s show Geoff and I discussed a number of topics…..and had a lot of fun….
President Bush has requested $46 Billion in additional funding for the Iraq War. I believe the Democrats will use this opportunity to call for an end to the war itself, but will not have what it takes to end the war. Either you want to stop the war or you don’t. Congress can end the war at anytime by stopping the funding, but the Democrats would rather continue to blame the President in this political season instead of making the tough stand.
The claim that you can support the troops but not the war is nice, but….if you had the choice to end the war and bring them home, or leave them there and continue funding the war…..that is exactly the choice Congress has. Stop the politics and commit fully to winning the war.
Geoff and I also wonder if the media is biased on these issues……hmmm, no doubt in my mind.
We also discussed a very interesting story about US veterans who were POW’s in previous wars and their thoughts on torture. This was a very difficult discussion, but overall I believe the US should take the lead in the proper treatment of POW’s – YET, at the same time we MUST do what it takes to protect America and the lives of American’s around the globe.
The craziest story we discussed was related to a turtle fence. The state of Michigan wants $318,000 in federal money to build a fence to keep turtles off of a highway and being killed during their migration. WHY ARE WE NOT WILLING TO BUILD THE FENCE ON THE BORDER, BUT WE WANT TO BUILD ONE TO SAVE A TURTLE? PRIORITIES PEOPLE, PRIORITIES!
We also commented on the news that the University of Northern Colorado claims its enrollment has dropped because District Attorney Ken Buck (Weld County) held a forum about the negative impacts illegal immigration. So, now even the sharing of information about illegal immigration is bad. Come on UNC – don’t blame the messenger, instead focus on the core issue! Heck, maybe tuition is too high; maybe crime is the issue; maybe – just maybe, the press about the UNC back up punter that stabbed the starting punter for the football team had something to do with it.
Several other items were discussed, including water, S-CHIP, state of Colorado budget, mosquitoes, silly comments at CU, and more…..
