Twits And Other Five-Second Experts
I‘ve been surprised and delighted how my screed about striking for peace seems to be popping out around the Internet and that most of the reaction has been positive.
Of course, in strolling around the blogosphere (a dangerous thing for a professionally trained journalist to do) I see there are some people blindly supporting the president’s recommendations to escalate (yeah, Condi, like it or not, that’s what you’re doing) the war.
Let me spend a few moments of time then, to enrage you right-wing, Kool Aid (TM) drinking fascists (which, by the way, is what I usually do to my fellow Democrats, who continue to lack a spine and/or morals in all too many cases). And no, I’m not speaking to the vast majority of Republicans, many of whom are just as disturbed about what’s going on. No, I’m speaking to the few of you who religiously still watch Fox News Channel (which has even added a political twist to the weather reports).
George W. Bush is a criminal.
I put it big, red type, because I know how much you like that and it makes it easier for you to understand and all.
In fairness, though, I probably shouldn’t have written it that way. To be accurate, it’s more like:
George W. Bush is a criminal, who is either delusional, moronic or suffering from an extreme chemical dependency.
See, isn’t that better?
Sorry folks, but Bush makes Nixon look like a piker. The guy is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people for no good reason. None. The guy flat-out lied repeatedly. And now he plans to kill some more and we’re supposed to line America’s streets and hold a parade or something, right?
Look at the guy….tell me he’s not drinking again. His face was flushed, he was slurring words…it wasn’t pretty.
He continues to ignore Congress, not just on the war, but with these pithy signing statements that are a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution and the separation of powers. If he doesn’t like legislation, he has a constitutional method to make a "statement." It’s called a veto.
But the question we all need to ask is this: Why does George W. Bush hate America? Why does he hate our fighting men and women? And why aren’t we doing something about it?
