Something in that picture above seems out of place.
No, you say? The whole thing seems out of place? Well, let's see.
It's a political billboard. Clearly states the owner's political opinion. American flag waving in the background.
Oh, right. I see. The burning buildings in the background. Gee, I don't see the prob--
See, this is what drives me a little nuts about politics. That some schmoe with enough money can display crap like this. In this case, a man, Mike Meehan believes that 9/11 would never have happened if a Republican was the President, instead of Bill Clinton, a Democrat.
Of course, this billboard is in Florida. Where else? We need to sell that damn place to Cuba or North Korea where it won't do us any harm.
Does his argument have merit? Of course it does. It very well could be that 9/11 would never have happened if a Republican was President.
Or, perhaps, if Republican Presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the Elder, hadn't funded militia such as the Taliban (and it's co-horts, Al Qaeda) back in the 1980s and early 1990s, 9/11 might also have never happened, no matter who was President.
I would say the same thing if a Democrat had displayed this billboard as well, saying, "Please don't vote for a Republican." I don't think the terrorists really care who is in office. They're attacking America...the American culture, the American way of life. Mickey Mouse could be President and they'd still bomb away.
'Course, some people would say we already have a Mickey Mouse White House.
I know who Goofy is...
