It's Time to Take Down The Flag |
It's Time to Take Down The Flag
Thu Jun 22nd 2006, 08:20 PM
By Nancy Greggs
In view of what we have seen and heard for the past few years, and
especially in the last few months, it is time for all of you who still
support George W. Bush and this Administration to take down your American
flags. Remove them from your front porch, from the flagpole on the lawn.
Pack away your stars-and-stripes T-shirts, and remove the flag-pins from
your lapels.
The proud display of the American flag is meant for the patriotic, for those
who love their country.
This president has plunged our beloved nation into unconscionable debt, and
compromised its security for the sake of corporations and their bottom line.
He has steadfastly looked the other way while American jobs have been
irretrievably lost, and while citizens go without affordable medical care.
He has stolen from the poor and working class by promoting the under-funding
of their schools, their hospitals, and the social programs that feed and
shelter the most unfortunate among us, and has ensured that those monies
find their way into the pockets of the wealthy.
Time and again, he has turned his back on the victims of disaster, and left
them to fend for themselves. He has destroyed a way of life that rewarded
hard work, and that offered opportunity for all. He has lessened our country's
once-proud standing in the world, and has made a mockery of our laws, our
rights, and our Constitution.
A true patriot doesn't ignore the needs of the nation, nor its citizenry,
and does not systematically revoke the very freedoms our democracy was
founded upon. If you support the Bush regime, what it stands for, and what
it has done, you are no patriot.
If you support this president, remove the "Support the Troops" stickers from
your cars, and the symbolic Yellow Ribbons from your front doors.
Those symbols are meant to represent care and concern for our military, both
in battle and upon their return to the homefront. This president, and his
fellow Republican Party members who control our government, have placed our
troops in harm's way for a lie, and have ignored their safety and well-being
at every turn. They have initiated policies that gut our veterans' benefits
and pensions. They have sent our troops into combat without the most basic
of equipment to protect themselves, and have ignored the consequences of
placing the battle-fatigued, the sick, the psychologically and emotionally
damaged on the front lines. They have handed the tax dollars meant to feed,
equip and house our forces over to Administration cronies, who slip those
funds into their own pockets and devote mere pennies to the needs of our
fighting men and women.
If you support those kinds of policies and the people who promote them for
their own political and/or financial gain, you do not support the troops. On
the contrary, you speed their demise. Pretending to support the very troops
you are dishonoring is not only hypocritical, it is an insult to their
sacrifice.
If you support this president, remove the crosses you wear around your neck,
the rosary beads strung over your rearview mirror, the crucifixes and prayer
cards you display in your homes.
Those revered signs of faith are reserved for Christians who honor the
principles set forth by a man who taught love, tolerance and understanding.
The present Administration and those who blindly follow it have not only
condoned but embraced torture, unlawful imprisonment without hope of a fair
hearing, secret prisons that exist only for the purpose of inflicting pain
and suffering. In addition, they have engaged in the rendition of human
beings to other countries where the most heinous conduct can be indulged
in - apparently too cowardly themselves to the "dirty work" they claim to be
necessary to make us all secure.
This president and his minions have made a mockery of the true Christian
faith, and have spit in the face of those who adhere to its tenets. George
Bush's illegal and immoral war has caused thousands upon thousands of deaths
of innocent men, women and children, and has turned such laudable principles
as feeding the hungry and caring for the sick into trivialities unworthy of
his attention. He has preyed upon the unsuspecting sheep by offering money
and influence to their corrupt, money-grubbing pastors in exchange for
leading their flocks to the altar of the polling stations, enticed by the
Judas Goat of policies based on hatred, bigotry and intolerance.
If you have transferred your religious faith away from the teachings of a
forgiving and merciful God, and placed it instead in a president who
promotes violence and torture, you are not a Christian.
Once you have dispensed with displaying the symbols of true patriotism,
troop support and Christianity, you are free to flaunt your "W" stickers,
and all of the other pro-Bush, pro-Administration paraphernalia you are so
fond of.
In fact, I would encourage you to do so. It's always helpful to know who
your real enemies are.

George Bush and his handlers have turned the letter W into an obscenity.
Along with much that our nation has held dear since its founding --
sacrificed on the altar of consuming political and financial greed. The day
of reckoning cannot come too quickly.

President's Radio Address
In his weekly radio address President Bush said, "A line-item veto would
give the President a way to insist on greater discipline in the budget. A
line-item veto would reduce the incentive for Congress to spend wastefully
because when lawmakers know their pet projects will be held up to public
scrutiny, they will be less likely to suggest them in the first place. Most
importantly, a line-item veto would benefit American taxpayers by ensuring
greater respect for their hard-earned dollars."

You Reichtards could care less about the $300 billion spent on an
unnecessary war in Iraq while giving one of the most irresponsible
presidents in U.S. history "line item veto". You people live in lala land.

Maybe you haven't heard, there are projected budget surplusses again.
The economy is so hot that the Treasury is collecting more money than
government is spending.
If the President is given the power to veto pork spending, Murtha (top
porker in the House) will no longer be able to buy votes.
Right On!

condoned but embraced torture, unlawful imprisonment without hope of a
fair hearing, secret prisons that exist only for the purpose of
inflicting pain and suffering. In addition, they have engaged in the
rendition of human beings to other countries where the most heinous
conduct can be indulged in - apparently too cowardly themselves to the
"dirty work" they claim to be necessary to make us all secure.
This president and his minions have made a mockery of the true Christian
faith, and have spit in the face of those who adhere to its tenets.
George Bush's illegal and immoral war has caused thousands upon thousands
of deaths of innocent men, women and children, and has turned such
laudable principles as feeding the hungry and caring for the sick into
trivialities unworthy of his attention. He has preyed upon the
unsuspecting sheep by offering money and influence to their corrupt,
money-grubbing pastors in exchange for leading their flocks to the altar
of the polling stations, enticed by the Judas Goat of policies based on
hatred, bigotry and intolerance.
If you have transferred your religious faith away from the teachings of a
forgiving and merciful God, and placed it instead in a president who
promotes violence and torture, you are not a Christian.
Once you have dispensed with displaying the symbols of true patriotism,
troop support and Christianity, you are free to flaunt your "W" stickers,
and all of the other pro-Bush, pro-Administration paraphernalia you are
so fond of.
In fact, I would encourage you to do so. It's always helpful to know who
your real enemies are.

Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition
Analyzing political conservatism as motivated social cognition integrates
theories of personality (authoritarianism, dogmatismintolerance of ambiguity),
epistemic and existential needs (for closure, regulatory focus, terror
management), and ideological rationalization (social dominance, system
justification). A meta-analysis (88 samples, 12 countries, 22,818 cases)
confirms that several psychological variables predict political conservatism:
death anxiety (weighted mean r = .50); system instability (.47);
dogmatism-intolerance of ambiguity (.34); openness to experience (-.32);
uncertainty tolerance (-.27); needs for order, structure, and closure (.26);
integrative complexity (-.20); fear of threat and loss (.18); and self-esteem
(-.09). The core ideology of conservatism stresses resistance to change and
justification of inequality and is motivated by needs that vary situationally
and dispositionally to manage uncertainty and threat.

fear, danger, threat, and aggression may figure more prominently

It's Time to Take Down The Flag
Thu Jun 22nd 2006, 08:20 PM
By Nancy Greggs
In view of what we have seen and heard for the past few years, and
especially in the last few months, it is time for all of you who still
support George W. Bush and this Administration to take down your American
flags. Remove them from your front porch, from the flagpole on the lawn.
Pack away your stars-and-stripes T-shirts, and remove the flag-pins from
your lapels.
The proud display of the American flag is meant for the patriotic, for
those who love their country.
This president has plunged our beloved nation into unconscionable debt,
and compromised its security for the sake of corporations and their bottom
line. He has steadfastly looked the other way while American jobs have
been irretrievably lost, and while citizens go without affordable medical
care. He has stolen from the poor and working class by promoting the
under-funding of their schools, their hospitals, and the social programs
that feed and shelter the most unfortunate among us, and has ensured that
those monies find their way into the pockets of the wealthy.
Time and again, he has turned his back on the victims of disaster, and
left them to fend for themselves. He has destroyed a way of life that
rewarded hard work, and that offered opportunity for all. He has lessened
our country's once-proud standing in the world, and has made a mockery of
our laws, our rights, and our Constitution.
A true patriot doesn't ignore the needs of the nation, nor its citizenry,
and does not systematically revoke the very freedoms our democracy was
founded upon. If you support the Bush regime, what it stands for, and what
it has done, you are no patriot.
If you support this president, remove the "Support the Troops" stickers
from your cars, and the symbolic Yellow Ribbons from your front doors.
Those symbols are meant to represent care and concern for our military,
both in battle and upon their return to the homefront. This president, and
his fellow Republican Party members who control our government, have
placed our troops in harm's way for a lie, and have ignored their safety
and well-being at every turn. They have initiated policies that gut our
veterans' benefits and pensions. They have sent our troops into combat
without the most basic of equipment to protect themselves, and have
ignored the consequences of placing the battle-fatigued, the sick, the
psychologically and emotionally damaged on the front lines. They have
handed the tax dollars meant to feed, equip and house our forces over to
Administration cronies, who slip those funds into their own pockets and
devote mere pennies to the needs of our fighting men and women.
If you support those kinds of policies and the people who promote them for
their own political and/or financial gain, you do not support the troops.
On the contrary, you speed their demise. Pretending to support the very
troops you are dishonoring is not only hypocritical, it is an insult to
their sacrifice.
If you support this president, remove the crosses you wear around your
neck, the rosary beads strung over your rearview mirror, the crucifixes
and prayer cards you display in your homes.
Those revered signs of faith are reserved for Christians who honor the
principles set forth by a man who taught love, tolerance and
understanding.
The present Administration and those who blindly follow it have not only
condoned but embraced torture, unlawful imprisonment without hope of a
fair hearing, secret prisons that exist only for the purpose of inflicting
pain and suffering. In addition, they have engaged in the rendition of
human beings to other countries where the most heinous conduct can be
