OK, time to wake up, America |
http://lonestaricon.com/2006/CurrentIssue/10/08tenuto.htm
March 9, 2006
The alarm has rung, America.
The auto-brew cycle on the coffee maker has kicked in.
Ah, smell the coffee.
Take a whiff of that fresh-roasted flavor as it wafts through the
house.
No, no, don’t roll over and hit the snooze button...
Ah, geez! NO!
It’s time to wake up, America!
Time to demand more from your -- our -- Government.
Could you not see it coming way back when George W. Bush was first
thrown out into the fray as a contender for the Republican nomination
as president?
It was clear as oil from the very beginning that he was ill-informed,
ill-mannered, ill-read, ill-spoken, and ill-tempered for such a lofty
position.
The man had never been off the North American Continent, and now was
being touted as capable to lead the free world after a mere five years
as governor of Texas.
And his record in that position was abysmal at best.
As had been his carefully guarded record at everything else prior to
that misadventure.
During his relatively short tenure Texas state finances went from
substantially black to bright red.
He turned the state’s social and educational programs from quality
into some of the nation’s more pitiful messes.
In Texas the gasoline now has to be specially refined, at a higher
cost to consumers, as compensation for sloppy environmental policies
allowed while "ex-oilman" George W. Bush was governor.
He executed more prisoners than any governor in history, never once
considering a stay or commutation.
In George W. Bush’s prisons, every convict on death row died on
schedule -- even those with IQs below the level of retardation.
To him it was beyond conceivable that a prosecutor might be
overzealous, or a witness lied, or the accused just happened to be in
the wrong place at the wrong time.
All this righteousness from a guy who failed at running every company
his Daddy ever put him in charge of; a putz unable to get elected to
Congress in his own district, despite the dirty trickster machinations
of manager Karl Rove.
The way these guys went through money just during the primaries should
have warned everyone that Mr. Bush the younger was not adept at being
fiscally responsible.
It was obvious that he was a puppet when paraded out as a
gubernatorial candidate in Texas, and even more painfully so when
brought out of left field to run in the 2000 Republican primaries.
The more he spoke in public, the more it became aware that this Bush
was wholly incompetent to lead anything, much less the free world.
Then, it appeared as though he was out of the race when going into
South Carolina the far more qualified and able, not to mention
reputable, Sen. John McCain of Arizona led the field by some 20
points.
Well, the candidates were preceded by the Karl Rove organization’s
well-oiled slander machine.
By the time they had finished with the good Senator and his family,
the bona fide hero who had suffered for more than five years the hands
of the North VietNamese, including time in the infamous Hanoi Hilton,
was a sexual degenerate.
According to the RoveCo smear campaign, depending upon which story you
chose to believe, McCain had:
Spent his time in captivity cavorting in the love nest of an Asian
concubine, which produced the love child he and his wife raised as an
"adopted third world orphan"; or, he had an affair with their illegal
alien maid, producing same child.
Numerous allegations about Sen. McCain, and his family, were spread
around the Republican community throughout South Carolina in the
crucial days leading up the primary, each one more ludicrous than the
last.
However, being a state with some of the most seriously flawed
Christian influences in politics, a fact Rove banked on, the local
yokels bought into the balderdash as verities.
George W. Bush was presented as a bona fide born again Man of Christ,
thus McCain’s record as a hero was trumped by a schmuck who hid under
the bed when he wasn’t partying during the unpleasantness in VietNam.
Well, once Bush had performed a "miraculous" turnaround victory in
South Carolina, predicated on what were now becoming Rove’s notorious
stock in trade smear tactics, the field was his.
If Rove could rain such disaster down upon John McCain’s head, what
chance did any other candidate stand?
We all know how things went from there:
The questionable vote count in Florida that was never allowed to occur
due to the interference of the Federalist Society Court of William H.
Rehnquist;
the immediate curtailment of personal freedoms by Attorney General
John Ashcroft, who was only available for the job because he had lost
his Senate seat in Missouri to deceased (assassinated?) opponent Gov.
Mel Carnahan;
how the warnings about a major terrorist threat were ignored, leading
to the tragic collusion of Sept. 11, 2001;
the Richard Kimble-like search for Osama bin Laden, who may or may not
actually be a patsy;
the internationally non-sanctioned, immoral invasion of Iraq.
Death and destruction on a global scale.
A new attorney general who considers the Geneva Convention as a
"quaint" idea, torture as a viable tool to extract information.
A planet filled with fellow human beings who now hate us.
Interesting how the U.S. media and military are only now catching on
to the impending civil war in Iraq.
The British news outlets have been warning about it for the past six
months.
Of course, the White House continues to deny things might not be going
so good.
Then, this ersatz president and treacherous vice president refuse to
ever admit anything could be going wrong.
Lies and deception to the American people since the first day of
primary campaigning.
A federal budget that went from reasonable black to crushing deficit
of record proportions.
Absolutely no improvement of internal infrastructure.
A pathetic record of diminished social and educational policies.
Horrendous environmental reversals and costly energy schemes.
One secretive plot after another with, and to the advantage of, the
regime’s bloated business cronies.
Invasions upon the privacy of Americans’ electronic communications,
without warrants, at the whim of the supreme leader.
A man sitting in the Oval Office, in our White House, who functions
under the delusion that he is allowed to do whatever he wishes, to
whomever he wishes, whenever he wishes.
And then there are the Congress and Senate, stopped dead in their
tracks with majority Republican "leaderships" that are stymied on
every issue and misappropriation of Executive Power and Privilege by
Herr Obst Karl Rove’s edict:
Any GOP member of the legislative branch who dares to defy the White
House will be denied both funding from and support of the RNC for the
upcoming election.
Every Bush appointee, nominee, or crony who appears before a Senate or
Congressional committee obfuscates and stonewalls when sworn in,
prevaricates when not sworn.
By the power of Rove, nothing ever goes beyond any of these committee
hearings.
Time and again, Bush gives lip service to "this is going well" and
"we’re standing by to provide support for that."
And people believe them road apples.
However, the realities of our fantasy-addled non-leader’s inability to
govern are that unless you’re one of his megabucks backers nothing’s
going well, and, as is the case with any Fascist Regime, these schmoes
are not standing by to support.
They just don’t care.
Whenever one among them shows concern for their fellow Americans, the
rest plow that person under with bureaucracy, blame him or her for
whatever went wrong, then throw them out with the trash.
You remember what happened to former FEMA Director Michael Brown.
We were all led to believe that he was a complete screw-up, weren’t
we?
Well, well, well... by now you’ve seen the tapes.
Brownie, just as he stated, was sounding the alarm of serious, deadly
destruction about to come down full force, in Biblical proportions
that uberChristian George W. Bush should have understood, on New
Orleans and surrounding area.
We’ve heard George W. Bush promise all the assistance they would need
was at the ready.
He then left Crawford, Texas, and headed west -- away from the storm
-- to party in Arizona and raise campaign funds for the GOP in
California.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff went to a
destination somewhat north and east of the Gulf of Mexico, an avian
flu conference in Atlanta.
By the time George finally did show up to personally look the area
over, he was eminently concerned that Sen. Trent Lott’s (R-MS) house
would be rebuilt -- bigger and better than before -- and was looking
forward to sitting on the porch enjoying the sunset.
Katrina, the worst hurricane in perhaps 100 years, quite possibly
recorded history, virtually wiped out New Orleans, took out huge
chunks of Mississippi, and over 1,400 people died.
Six months later some 2,000 folks are still missing, tens of thousands
remain homeless, and devastated properties and wrecked vehicles that
should have been bulldozed by now are left where they landed,
providing festering hovels for vermin of all sorts.
The levees are not intact, with just three months till hurricane
season.
Still, George W. Bush refuses to believe anybody else in the world,
scientist or leader, no matter how expert they are, when he’s told
that it’s now past time to stem the effects of global warming.
Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands of unoccupied mobile homes
contracted by FEMA, at a cost of tens and possibly hundreds of
millions of taxpayer dollars, are sinking into muddy fields in
Arkansas and elsewhere.
The catch-22 is they can’t be shipped to New Orleans because Federal
regulations prohibit putting them on ground where they would be
subject to sinking into mud.
This alleged government won’t even get on the insurance companies to
settle property claims with the victims.
While all this non-progress is going along within Louisiana and the
rest of the Gulf, at least four brave American military personnel are
being slaughtered each and every day, and numerous others mangled for
life, in the most horrid of manners in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So, America, you’ve seen the video.
You saw George W. Bush sitting at his Prairie Chapel Ranch in
Crawford, Texas, being warned about the utter destruction that was
about to hit the Gulf region, primarily New Orleans.
You have heard him promise all the help the cities and states needed.
You saw that the help was far too little, much too late.
Nero fiddled why Rome burned -- King George XLIII played with his new
gee-tar in Arizona while Gulf residents died and lost their homes.
The polls have finally dropped to a 34% approval rating, or Bush’s
core support group.
Cheney’s approval is even lower.
At last, most Americans understand these guys are not to be trusted
with our Nation’s security.
So, I ask you, America -- Where is your outrage?
What more do you need to say "ENOUGH?"
These people stole our White House.
They bastardized all four branches of our Government.
They have done nothing for the People, not one thing the majority of
the People have wanted.
If you haven’t read between the lines, then I’ll spell it out: I’m so
damned ***** I could chew nails!
You should be, too.
Don’t you dare roll over and hit that snooze button!
Get your ***** up -- open your eyes.
America and the rest of Planet Earth can’t take another three years of
Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rice, Rumsfeld and the rest!
And they don’t deserve more time.
It has been 1,914 days since the Rehnquist Supreme Court allowed this
illegal oligarchy overthrow of our Government.
It’s high time we take it back.
Richard M. Nixon was tossed out of office for far less, and Spiro T.
Agnew left the vice-presidency in disgrace over what amounted to a
minor infraction compared to Cheney’s dishonorable, greedy,
un-American activities.
Impeach the lot of the George W. Bush and Karl Rove Cabal.

Ah, now I know why liberals are against the death penalty.
It's because most of the prisoners are democrats.

Ok Jerry by your picture and your boring piece in your blog, is time to
roll over and go back to sleep. It is only a dream, really.
Time to demand more from your -- our -- Government.
And who are you proposing to do that in the Socialist Party? Hillary?,
Kerry?, Dean? Can you tell us who it is and a platform that these clowns
will run on?

I don't know who it will be (though it won't be Hillary) anymore than you
right-wing extremist America-haters know who you'll run as a Republican.
The platform can be found right here: http://www.dnc.org/agenda.html
Anything in the platform you'd like to take issue with? I look forward to
it. But stop pretending it doesn't exist.
