A collection of insightful ruminations, reflections, and rants on the events of the day (with the exception of the weekend). We'll collect a week's worth here and then archive them. Come visit each weekday to see what's pushing Barbara's buttons.
February 21, 2003
If Bush's policy is to preemptively attack a nation we think is going to do harm to us, it's no wonder North Korea is flexing muscle. The dunderhead who came up with this aggressive misplaced policy belongs in an institution where he can do no harm to himself nor others. We need a President with experience in diplomacy, someone with the intelligence it takes to run a country with respect for our citizens and our friends and neighbors, and someone who is smart enough to know the world includes all people. Bill Clinton where are you?

If CNN really hesitates to air advocacy ads, then what the devil are they doing when they constantly promote Bush and his insane policies? Concerns for journalism, news, and the public have vacated CNN broadcasts. They have become the second string cheering channel for George W. Bush. Whatever happened to fair and balanced? Oops, that's the big boys, top rated FOX tabloid news.

Beware the man who promises tax cuts! While cutting taxes for his income bracket, he will increase costs for services to average and low income people. Face it, tax cuts for the rich will be paid for by the poor and services will be eliminated. The Repuglican ideology truly is to bleed the poor and feed the rich.

February 20, 2003
NEWS ALERT: George Bush's poll numbers are heading south, so be on guard for the terror alert to raise to red! Buy more tape and plastic, just to be on the safe side, and then watch for the bombs over Iraq. The moron cannot take rejection without retaliation, and he's out of patience. Lord help us.
* * *
We don't need a focus group to understand the meaning behind ordering and sending 75,000 body bags to the Middle East! That alone is enough to tell the American people what this administration and the military expects from this war with Iraq.
* * *
All the PR attempts in the world cannot hide the fact that Bush made the decision long ago to attack Iraq! His mission, from the very beginning, has been to march into Iraq and acquire those oil fields. All that campaign money wasn't donated just to get this moron into office, it was to insure the big pay-off, it was a down payment on future profits.
* * *
Of course the Bush administration wants Iraq to pay for reconstruction! It's the best way to cover the Bush hands in the pockets of Iraqi oil! Bush can make it look like he's doing what's best for them while making profits for the American oil guys. Typical Bush spin, all the while taking from the poor to give to the rich. In case you haven't noticed, this is what the Bush family does best.
* * *
The next speech we can expect to hear from Dumbya: "It ain't over till it's over!" And you thought Iraq would be the end of aggression -- think again, for the bogus Bushwhackers Iraq is only the beginning. Dumbya plans to march on Syria, Iran, and North Korea after conquering Iraq. No wonder saner, wiser men are calling for a halt to the madness gripping the Bush administration. How long are we going to stand for this insanity? Impeach the thief.

February 19, 2003
When CNN abandoned truth, justice, and objectivity and started pandering to sleaze, scandal, and bias, they not only lost in the ratings wars, they lost their integrity and credibility. The majority of people in the world want the news as it happens, without blatant attempts to mold public opinion. People do not want a cheerleading squad for George W. Bush, they want the facts -- something that CNN used to be famous for providing. Now, everyone views the once revered network as a FOX wannabe. Hopefully, the changes that are being made will help to return CNN to the most reliable purveyors of the truth in News.

Bush has signed an order that nuclear weapons can be considered for a war on Iraq! If you think he's bluffing, think again, this guy will do anything, including killing the sons and daughters of America and innocent Iraqis to get what he wants. Oil is not worth dying for. Nuclear weapons, for God's sake! He doesn't have the right to annihilate the earth!
* * *
People worldwide have let it be known they expect their elected officials to find a saner way to resolve conflict. Killing each other is not a solution. We want someone who is capable of seeing the complexities surrounding arguments and be able to arrive at an equitable outcome. I guess that eliminates George -- he only knows how to stomp his foot and say, "Poppy do something, otherwise I'll throw a tantrum you won't like and then you'll have bigger problems than you ever thought possible!"
* * *
For a man who claims an alliance with God, Bush seems to have forgotten a few of the tenets set forth by God! Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord in vain, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods. Evoking God's name to kill innocent people is not heeding the laws of God. Halos don't fit the head that must lie in order to steal another's oil fields. Memo to Bush: A must read before attempting pious holiness -- the Ten Commandants.

February 18, 2003
Liberals have never underestimated Dumbya! We've known from the beginning -- since he first opened his mouth and those unintelligible phrases spewed forth -- that he was incapable of leadership. When a man has to steal that which he covets, then you know from the git go, he was never capable of earning it.
* * *
Bush and Cheney are so afraid of Bill Clinton that they try to smear and scandalize his reputation in every way. Bill Clinton can think rings around them, and deliver sane, logical solutions to complex problems. Neither Bush nor Cheney has the brain power it takes to even understand what Clinton has said. They think the next best thing, especially if you can't decipher logic, is swear at him, call him names, lie and make up stories, and above all make enough noise to try and drown out the fact that Bill Clinton has the intelligence it takes to run a country!
* * *
As I listen to the slurs and smears about France coming from the administration and all the Bush groupies, I wonder how the French must feel knowing that their men and women in the Resistance risked their lives during World War II to save US airmen shot down by the Nazis? It's a shame that people will demean an entire country who have served our countrymen well, when we needed them, in times past.
* * *
The stampede that tragically killed 21 people in a Chicago nightclub is a direct result of the kind of fear the Bush administration has created in America. People are terrified, thanks to unsupported terror alerts that this administration uses to garner support for an unwanted war. He has succeeded in killing Americans because of his desire to attack Iraq. Just who do we really have to fear?

February 17, 2003
Senator Robert Byrd, a brave man in the face of the current administration. While some in this country go along with the administration's policy of "you're either for us or against us," there are those who continue to question the administration's irresponsible rush to war and the consequences of preemption? Senator Byrd's example is one that others should follow.
* * *
Have you ever noticed how those who support the Bush policies abandon civility and credibility and embark on a campaign of slander, name calling, and ridicule? Bush and his groupies are responsible for the negative image of America and will stoop to whatever depths necessary to achieve their personal goals of domination and control. Talk about changing the tone in Washington! Bush has managed to reshape our image from leadership to bullying buffoon.
* * *
Hmmm, have the inspectors considered searching the oil fields for a cache of WMD? Is it possible they would reveal more than the mother lode oil? It seems a likely place to secret that which you would not want found and destroyed. Unless and until there is no other recourse, Bush certainly won't destroy his ultimate goal in this war, while Saddam will destroy everything and as many of the opposition as possible. Just wondering?

Thus far, in regards to Arabs of the world, Americans have been asking the question, "Why don't they like us?" Thanks to the Bush administration, the question now extends to the British, French, Germans, Dutch, Koreans, Chinese, Africans, Swiss, Danes, Spanish, Italians, Belgians, Russians, Japanese, South Americans, Canadians, Australians, and others. The point here is that George Bush, in two years, has changed the American image to the biggest bully in the world. NO ONE LIKES A BULLY!
