I'm Supposed to Believe That... |
*Let Me See If I've Got This 'RIGHT' ...*
by Nancy Greggs
Democratic Underground
Aug 27, 2006
I'm supposed to believe that the man who sat in a classroom reading
a kids' book for seven minutes AFTER he was told the country was under
attack, who was warned repeatedly about imminent threats against the
country and chose to ignore them, who has traipsed off on vacation
every time there is a domestic or international disaster, is a decisive
man-of-action with the fortitude to run a nation.
I am supposed to believe that God himself chooses my nation's
leaders
and that, in His infinite wisdom, he chose a lying, thieving,
self-absorbed, pro-torture, pro-war, lazy frat-boy jerk like George W.
Bush.
I am supposed to believe that the same man who used family money and
influence to duck military duty, who has failed at every business
venture he ever tried, who never did an honest day's work or
accomplished anything of value in his entire life, is fit to be
Commander-in-Chief.
I am supposed to believe that a man who ignores the Constitution he
swore to uphold, breaks the law with abandon, repeatedly lied about the
reasons for going to war, its cost, its duration, and even its goals,
is honest and trustworthy.
I am supposed to believe that the escalating violence, chaos and
deaths
in Iraq and Afghanistan are a sign of progress.
I am supposed to believe that a man who, by his own admission, does
not
read newspapers, who only meets with and listens to 'yes' men, who
refuses to speak before any group that is not hand-picked from his
staunchest supporters, is in touch with the realities of the world.
I am supposed to believe that sending US soldiers into combat
without
proper equipment or a viable military strategy, while decreasing their
pensions and their benefits, is a patriotic display of supporting the
troops.
I am supposed to believe that gutting the funding of social programs
aimed at assisting the poor, the sick, the hungry and the homeless is
the outcome of good Christians being in office, and that torturing,
maiming and killing innocent civilians is "doing the Lord's work".
Oh, don't go anywhere, because I haven't even gotten started yet .
I am supposed to believe that a president who acts like an
ill-mannered, oafish, mindless buffoon in public, both at home and in
international
settings, and a vice president who tells a colleague to go f*ck himself
in the course of conducting the country's business, are both deserving
of respect.
I am supposed to believe that spying on US citizens, quashing free
speech, and suspending laws that govern detention and confinement
without just cause is preserving the tenets of democracy.
` I am supposed to believe that alienating our allies, isolating
ourselves from the world, refusing to use diplomacy instead of aggression,
and
causing people around the globe to hate us is the best way to protect
my country from violent attack.
I am supposed to believe that no-bid contracts awarded to companies
owned by members of this Administration, its families and its cronies
is pure coincidence, and that secret meetings resulting in policies that
enrich their supporters to the detriment of hard-working Americans is
good and honest government.
Hold on, because there's MORE of this crap ...
I am supposed to believe that outsourcing American jobs,
under-funding
our educational system, and plunging the country deeper into debt with
every passing day will lead to a stronger, more competitive nation in
the years to come.
I am supposed to believe that the same people who left NOLA to
drown,
who refuse to secure our borders, who refuse to implement the
recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and who initiate policies that
incite anger and violence the world over are protecting my country from
harm.
I am supposed to believe that an Administration whose policies make
basic medical care and life-saving drugs unaffordable for millions of
Americans is pro-life.
I am supposed to believe that elected representatives who voted for
the
Bankruptcy Bill, tax breaks for wealthy individuals, and tax subsidies
for multi-billion dollar corporations are looking out for their
constituents.
Along with all of the above, I am also supposed to believe that
selling
authority over our ports to foreign nations, selling our national lands
to private interests, and selling our children's future by burdening
them with debt for decades to come is in the best interests of our
country.
Drum roll, please -- here's the BIG FINALE ...
I am supposed to believe it is safe to board an airplane with a hold
full of uninspected cargo as long as no passengers are in possession of
baby formula, that a group of men in Britain were about to take down
ten airliners without tickets or passports, that seven men in Miami were
going to blow up buildings in cities they didn't have the money to get
to, that one lone guy in New York was going to take down the Brooklyn
Bridge with a blow-torch, that if we leave Iraq every terrorist in the
world is going to come to the US and fight us in the malls and the
supermarkets, that the 'Liberal media' simply forgets to cover the
lies, cover-ups and corruption of this Administration and its party members,
that voting for a Democrat in Connecticut sends shockwaves of unbridled
encouragement throughout the Muslim world, that a bunch of PNAC members
whose predictions have been proven totally wrong in every instance
should be dictating policy to my government, that our military isn't
stretched too thin and they are just recalling those who have already
fulfilled their duty because they've got too much time on their hands,
and that George W. Bush spends his summers reading CAMUS and
SHAKESPEARE.
Oh, if only I were GULLIBLE, ILL-INFORMED, EASILY LED and TOTALLY
STUPID - what a FINE Bush supporter I would have made!>>

Let's see - the democrats consistently have given the US - a better
economy, more peace, better infrastructure, stronger civil rights, a
stronger lower and middle class and a far better reputation and
stronger foreign policy than the republicans.
Nope - you don't need to believe Fred, you just have to stop holding
your hand over your eyes to see the objective evidence that democrats
do a far better job of running this country than all of the
republicans since Eisenhower.

And the current crop of whiny good-for-nothings who call themselves
Democrats have given the US - multiple terrorist attacks on US assets
effectively unanswered during the Clinton administration, amoral
"equivalency" that would have us believe that Bush is no better than
Madmood Ahmadamnnutjob or Saddam Hussein, anti-patriotic hogwash that
would have us believe that burning a flag is just as good as saluting
it, educational "standards" that are more suited to keeping teachers
employed than to educating students...
Nope - you don't need to believe Fred, you just have to stop holding
your hand over your eyes to see the objective evidence that democrats

I've seen the evidence. You're trying to ride the coattails of Democrats
like Truman and Johnson and Zell Miller and yes, Joe Lieberman and you
just aren't up to it. You've run the decent old-fashioned Democrats out
of the party. The only thing you'll have left is the stupid old lefty
know-nothings who aren't worth spitting on, much less voting for, and
the voters will be glad to prove it to you.

"It is staggering that anyone could be so self-infatuated as to single
out their own particular policy preferences as "anti-war." Anyone who is
not a sadist or an idiot is anti-war. The only serious issue is how best
to limit, deter or conclude war. But responsibility for confronting this
issue is evaded by those preoccupied with the moral preening of being
"anti-war.""

Kate, everything you said is completely, utterly, 100% true. And what's
really sad is that it doesn't matter what you say, the Bush supporters will
still defend him and claim you're not patriotic and that you're against
freedom and you don't support your troops. I'm a proud Canadian myself, and
even though Canadian-American relations are just fine, I myself am
embarrassed as a Canadian to admit that we're associated with your country
in any way. It is also true that alot of other countries don't like America
or Americans for that matter. It's unfortunate that one man can ruin things
internationally for millions of Americans. It would be great if other
countries would blame Bush and not the people he govern as well, but he's
representing you. Other countries are looking at him and thinking that he's
considered the best example of an American fit to represent his country, the
"crème de la crème", the "cream of the crop". I wish I could say that I'm
happy I'm not in your shoes having to put up with your decision of not only
electing him, but re-electing him, but unfortunately his actions have
attained a magnitude of global proportions and if he doesn't lay off the
middle east countries soon, we're all gonna suffer, BIG TIME!

You need to take a lesson from this, and not allow the facists to get
control over your voting system under the guise of electronic voting
with no paper trail. Don't be a sheep that doesn't see a problem until
they've put your country hundreds of years into debt and started wars
and whittled away your rights. Australia is having some of the same
problems - Canada could be next.

Along with all of the above, I am also supposed to believe that
selling
authority over our ports to foreign nations, selling our national lands
to private interests, and selling our children's future by burdening
them with debt for decades to come is in the best interests of our
country.
Drum roll, please -- here's the BIG FINALE ...
I am supposed to believe it is safe to board an airplane with a
hold
full of uninspected cargo as long as no passengers are in possession of
baby formula, that a group of men in Britain were about to take down
ten airliners without tickets or passports, that seven men in Miami
were
going to blow up buildings in cities they didn't have the money to get
to, that one lone guy in New York was going to take down the Brooklyn
Bridge with a blow-torch, that if we leave Iraq every terrorist in the
world is going to come to the US and fight us in the malls and the
supermarkets, that the 'Liberal media' simply forgets to cover the
lies, cover-ups and corruption of this Administration and its party
members,
that voting for a Democrat in Connecticut sends shockwaves of unbridled
encouragement throughout the Muslim world, that a bunch of PNAC members
whose predictions have been proven totally wrong in every instance
should be dictating policy to my government, that our military isn't
stretched too thin and they are just recalling those who have already
fulfilled their duty because they've got too much time on their hands,
and that George W. Bush spends his summers reading CAMUS and
SHAKESPEARE.
Oh, if only I were GULLIBLE, ILL-INFORMED, EASILY LED and TOTALLY
STUPID - what a FINE Bush supporter I would have made!>>

Nah. I'd rather watch George Carlin on HBO.
At least Carlin is deliberately funny.

I'm supposed to believe that the man who sat in a classroom reading
a kids' book for seven minutes AFTER he was told the country was under
attack, who was warned repeatedly about imminent threats against the
country and chose to ignore them, who has traipsed off on vacation
every time there is a domestic or international disaster, is a decisive
man-of-action with the fortitude to run a nation.
I am supposed to believe that God himself chooses my nation's
leaders
and that, in His infinite wisdom, he chose a lying, thieving,
self-absorbed, pro-torture, pro-war, lazy frat-boy jerk like George W.
Bush.
I am supposed to believe that the same man who used family money and
influence to duck military duty, who has failed at every business
venture he ever tried, who never did an honest day's work or
accomplished anything of value in his entire life, is fit to be
Commander-in-Chief.
I am supposed to believe that a man who ignores the Constitution he
swore to uphold, breaks the law with abandon, repeatedly lied about the
reasons for going to war, its cost, its duration, and even its goals,
is honest and trustworthy.
I am supposed to believe that the escalating violence, chaos and
deaths
in Iraq and Afghanistan are a sign of progress.
I am supposed to believe that a man who, by his own admission, does
not
read newspapers, who only meets with and listens to 'yes' men, who
refuses to speak before any group that is not hand-picked from his
staunchest supporters, is in touch with the realities of the world.
I am supposed to believe that sending US soldiers into combat
without
proper equipment or a viable military strategy, while decreasing their
pensions and their benefits, is a patriotic display of supporting the
troops.
I am supposed to believe that gutting the funding of social programs
aimed at assisting the poor, the sick, the hungry and the homeless is
the outcome of good Christians being in office, and that torturing,
maiming and killing innocent civilians is "doing the Lord's work".
Oh, don't go anywhere, because I haven't even gotten started yet .
I am supposed to believe that a president who acts like an
ill-mannered, oafish, mindless buffoon in public, both at home and in
international
settings, and a vice president who tells a colleague to go f*ck himself
in the course of conducting the country's business, are both deserving
of respect.
I am supposed to believe that spying on US citizens, quashing free
speech, and suspending laws that govern detention and confinement
without just cause is preserving the tenets of democracy.
` I am supposed to believe that alienating our allies, isolating
ourselves from the world, refusing to use diplomacy instead of aggression,
and
causing people around the globe to hate us is the best way to protect
my country from violent attack.
I am supposed to believe that no-bid contracts awarded to companies
owned by members of this Administration, its families and its cronies
is pure coincidence, and that secret meetings resulting in policies that
enrich their supporters to the detriment of hard-working Americans is
good and honest government.
Hold on, because there's MORE of this crap ...
I am supposed to believe that outsourcing American jobs,
under-funding
our educational system, and plunging the country deeper into debt with
every passing day will lead to a stronger, more competitive nation in
the years to come.
I am supposed to believe that the same people who left NOLA to
drown,
who refuse to secure our borders, who refuse to implement the
recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and who initiate policies that
incite anger and violence the world over are protecting my country from
harm.
I am supposed to believe that an Administration whose policies make
basic medical care and life-saving drugs unaffordable for millions of
Americans is pro-life.
I am supposed to believe that elected representatives who voted for
the
Bankruptcy Bill, tax breaks for wealthy individuals, and tax subsidies
for multi-billion dollar corporations are looking out for their
constituents.
Along with all of the above, I am also supposed to believe that
selling
authority over our ports to foreign nations, selling our national lands
to private interests, and selling our children's future by burdening
them with debt for decades to come is in the best interests of our
country.
