Editor,
After reading lecturer Joachim Oberst's letter in Friday's Daily Lobo, it has come to my attention that people like him should not be entitled to an opinion, as their intelligence is in question.
It is high time Oberst and the other left-wing elites get something through their horrendously thick skulls: President Bush's election was not illegitimate. He got elected into office twice, did he not? I notice that whenever a Republican is elected into office, the liberal left is swift to call the election flawed, but when he or she is a Democrat, all is fair in the world. This particular sob story is wearing.
Next, he calls the U.S. a fascist nation. Fascism is characterized by dictatorship, centralized control of private enterprise and repression of all opposition. Sorry, liberals, you're closer to being fascist than Bush will ever be. Oberst needs to take a good look at the U.S. We're not a fascist nation - far from it. If he wants to continue his idiocy, he needs to leave the U.S.
Oberst is now calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and the removal of several high-level executives. What's more, he wants them removed because of rumors. There is zero hard evidence to connect Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez or Gen. Geoffrey Miller to the rape and torture cases at U.S. detention facilities. All Oberst and the social elite are going on are some concocted rumors.
Before we start calling Bush a traitor, let me remind some people of a proven fact, backed by CIA and FBI investigations: President Bill Clinton secretly sold the Chinese U.S. nuclear missile technology. That is outright treason. I don't recall hearing the social elite calling for Clinton's impeachment then.

Now, the information that will destroy the liberals' arguments completely: Gen. Georges Sada, one of Saddam Hussein's former military leaders, said Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and moved them to Syria. I guess Bush was right after all. If the liberal left keeps true to its nature of believing foreign sources over our own intelligence, it will have to believe Sada over NBC, CBS and ABC. If not, it has to believe what our military intelligence has said, which is that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. If it refuses to do that, then it has to admit it's just looking for reasons to blame Bush.
I would really like to see people like Oberst - who go to a single, biased source of information - stop harping on the issue. While he and the rest of his ilk resort to name-calling and browbeating, the rest of us actually look in multiple places for facts.
