sitting in a car driving to the airport
we are on our way to bilbao spain where we are gonna play in front of
the guggenheim museum
i am looking forward to that
to be next to beautiful art and architecture
and to put some art of our own into the open air

george w bush should definitely be impeached
he is a liar
and his lies have bought misery to millions of people
and bought no good to anyone except for the corporate oil
billionaires who are making huge profits
they are profiting during wartime
that is unscrupulous and terribly sad
w bush has made the world a much less safe place
before the war iraq was not a place for terrorists
saddam hussein, brutal dictator that he was was secular and had
nothing to do with al queda
and was sanctioned to death and had no power outside of his country
now it is a breeding ground for terrorism and anti-americanism is at
an all time high all over the world
and the people of iraq are no better off at all
all those people want is for the americans to leave
decent families and people like you and i who never wanted america
there in the first place
goerge w bush has sent american soldiers over there to be maimed and
killed
only to serve his selfish oil company needs and for his ego
american soldiers who are loyal to each other and who only want to
have a good job get an education and support their country are being
used for an unjust cause
i support the troops
they, like all americans are being betrayed by george w bush
he has betrayed his country he should be impeached

the administration's line that they were over there because they
wanted to spread democracy and freedom
is nothing else besides a lie
if they had any interest at all in the well being of other human beings
they would be doing what they could for people who desperately need
and would love help in africa

i pray to god that george w bush and his administration does not
invade iran
it would be a bloodbath
why dont they just leave the iranians alone
and go through the united nations
and work on making the united nations as strong and as just as possible
an invasion of iran would be the worst possible thing that could happen
i pray to god that it does not happen

i am just another guy sitting in the car on the english motorway

I don't like Flea. He is too much of a brain damaged, white trash, spaz. But generally speaking his common sense observations seem like just that, common sense.

the administration's line that they were over there because they
wanted to spread democracy and freedom
is nothing else besides a lie

However, that comment by Flea is a lie since we have evidence that establishment of a democracy was in fact an objective. Bush still thinks that everyone wants "freedom," but the reality is that most Islamic infected regions do not want freedom.

Good point Jim.

I'm personally not fond of celebrities who spout off about politics. We pay them to entertain us, and that is all they're good for.

[GROFF200]

These celebrities, like Flea, are US citizens, pay taxes, and have the right to vote.
They shouldn't shut up about what they think anymore than people here at DA should stop voicing their opinions.
That being said, Flea ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[Fidget]

Well, Im Canadian. Made my feelings know in another post recently. I won't push my luck.
But Dude,I have a fist in the air for celebrities who speak what a lot of people are finally waking up to and dont have a soapbox to stand on to say.
Yeah, their job is to entertain, not inform. That's true.
But how's Joe Blo gonna speak and be heard?
Sorry Americans, slam me, but you have a little Hitler happening there, telling the rest of the world how to live under the guise of 'protection' Accusing everyone of not playing fair if they might even show a sign of making their own 'toy' cause he wants all the toys. Focusing his humanitarian efforts on the lands that have oil? Americans are cool, everyone else is a liar and a cheat.
He's so see-thru-able outside the USA.
Can't see the forest for the trees tho when you live in the forest.
Or as I've said before, can't see the forest for the Bush.

[86Dude]

Of course they have the right, but most celebs are absolute morons (insert Tom Cruise here). The problem is that when these morons speak, the average sheep turns down American Idol and listens to their idiotic soap box.

[No_Brakes]

I'm inclined to think even that is better than American Idol.

[86Dude]

I was just thinking that this threads title is one of the best ever.

Hey, I think I kind of like you Nazi Eric Cartman person...(no need to return the feeling)

[No_Brakes]

I'm surprised this thread has gotten as far as it has before someone mentioned that, 86Dude.

[Fidget]

I'm just surprised anyone's still here...

[86Dude]

I'm not a national socialist, I just liked the avatar FYI.

[86Dude]

Ewwwww, God that group sux but to each his own.

Haha, I was hoping someone would appreciate it.

Flea's blogs all year at www.lakers.com were genius. The guy opened up a whole new appreciation for the lakers for me. Despite the fact that I pretty much agree with him on this one, I am not in favor of celebrities leading us. Their single-mom, multiple partner glamour lives show that they are out of touch with the realities most people face and that they do not take their role model status seriously enough.

[optimus]

Where are his blogs on the lakers site?

edit: nevermind, just found them

[GROFF200]

Do celebrities seem out of touch with most people in the country because they are celebrities? Or is it because most celebrities live in California?
My personal opinion is because they live in California. In my experience, California and New York are two places where the people who live there *think* the rest of the country is like them when in fact it isn't.
