Bush and the Democrats'
danger to America

The spectacle of the Democratically-controlled
Congress rushing before their summer break to
provide President Bush "legal" warrantless
spying powers, instead of impeaching him for
his past abuses, and voting to give
him vast new
sums of money in fiscal year 2008 for his wars
and his "Homeland Security" Gestapo forces,
boggles my mind and sickens me.
How can we conceive of a group of highly-paid
"leaders" such as the Democrats acting so
unwisely, in a way that is so obviously contrary
to the best interests of America and the
American people?
Did the Democrats learn nothing from Bush's
actions during the previous six years?
Do the Democrats suffer from "group-think",
which is yielding an effective IQ of around 80
(slightly above retarded but solidly subnormal)?
Do the Democrats lack courage? Are they being
blackmailed into surrender?

The idea that the U.S. can monetarily afford to continue an indefinite occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is pure fantasy.
The costs are growing every year and will not total less than $1 trillion under any circumstances.
And the political and moral costs are increasing faster than the Pentagon can ask for more money to blow shit up.

Or, are they like television news anchors, just
reading scripts and worrying about their hair,
while others who have no concern for America
dictate our futures?
I honestly do not know.
But I do know this: By their failure to confront
the Bush Administration's illegal acts, by their failure to force
course changes prior to the November 2008
elections, Democrats are inviting a worst-case outcome
for all of us, a strategic "defeat in detail" in
every venue.
To begin to imagine the possible
devastation to our hopes, think of the world's
second richest man, Warren Buffett, going into a
Las Vegas casino and losing all $50 billion in
one night -- and then going double-or-nothing,
and getting both legs broken by the mob after he
loses and cannot pay up. We're talking total
rout, and insult on top of injuries.
The idea that the U.S. can monetarily afford to
continue an indefinite occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan is pure fantasy. The costs are
growing every year and will not total less than
$1 trillion under any circumstances.
And the political and moral costs are increasing
faster than the Pentagon can ask for more money
to blow shit up. The facts on the ground reveal
that the longer we fight them over there, in
their homelands, the more of them vow eternal
bloody vengeance against America, and take up
arms against the U.S.
There are about one billion
Islamic people, plus billions more people in other
countries that increasingly hate Bush's policies
and blame American voters. Thus, if world
population is 6 billion and the US/UK population
totals 500+ million, the inevitable long-term
result is a minimum of 5 billion enemies who
want us stripped of the ability to inflict such
horrors on the rest of the world ever again.
So, instead of Bush spending $1 trillion and
eliminating terrorism -- both the people and the
idea itself -- he has totally squandered that
trillion dollars, and at least doubled
the size and complexity of the problem. He is
not just losing his "war on terror", but the
speed of his defeat is accelerating, and new
defeats are beckoning in every other area.
Bush and his henchmen are not only losing
everywhere militarily, but their mindless
approach to government has created the necessary
conditions for total strategic devastation of
America's economic and monetary systems.
"Free market" to Bush/Cheney means authorizing Republican-friendly corporations to loot and pillage the
public -- not just stealing from people, but
actually killing them with poisonous,
destructive products and various other profit-increasing schemes ... with the Democrats' silent
assent (speaking up only so as not to be ignored
during annual corporate fundraising exercises.)
Perhaps the economics system will self-destruct prior to
January 2009, thanks to pudding-headed mortgage
lenders and anti-oversight by bank regulators.
Then the Democrats can really blame Bush for
all the shit he allowed to happen -- while they
meekly voted for every damn thing he demanded.
If Hillary Clinton were running against Satan himself I
would not vote for her. And no to Nancy Pelosi, no to
Diane Feinstein, no to Chuck Schumer, no to Joe Lieberman, and
no to the rest of the mildly retarded herd of
cowardly Democratic mice.
The only people more retarded than the Democrats
in Congress are the voters who elect these
jackasses.
