May 16, 2003
Mainstream media is attempting to cover themselves! By exposing Jayson Blair's fantasy stories, they believe it will give the rest of the "journalists" some credibility. Little do they know the majority of the public is on to their farce. All those who suck up to Bush and his gang are looking more ridiculous everyday. Someone once told me that the news in the United States is not the news of the world, and the years since George Bush stole the office I now realize the enormity of the truth in that statement. Thank God for the Internet and BuzzFlash, it's our only guarantee for the truth.

I really don't know why they can't let John F. Kennedy rest in peace! No matter how much sleaze and scandal they come up with, no matter how many rocks they overturn, Kennedy was one of the greatest Presidents this country ever had. He was intelligent, articulate, fair minded, and genuinely cared about America and the American people. No matter how much they smear him, it still does nothing to make G.W.Bush look good. Bush is still a straw man in an expensive suit and possesses none of the qualities required for leadership.

Oh, for the times when a President gave a speech that did not contain the phrases, "He's great," "He's a good man," "we're making good progress" -- it's tiresome to hear the same words repeated time after time about everyone with whom Bush has contact. I realize he's limited in the brain dept., but enough is enough. The sad part, after watching his comments yesterday with the South Korean President, is the moron is beginning to believe himself to be articulate and eloquent.

Do we want Democracy according to the Constitution or do we want Democracy according to Bush? The Bush Democracy is despotic tyranny. Even the most fervent Repugs should realize our freedoms are being systematically eliminated. We learn from history and should heed what happened in Germany under Hitler. It was that darkest cloud suffered by the world since it's origin. America is beginning to see shades of fascism creeping into all areas of government. I refer you to the dictionary: "Fascism - dictatorial movement: any movement, tendency, or ideology that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism."

Tony Blair thought he picked a winner, only to find out Bush is a USER! Mr. Blair is finding out that Bush drops you like a hot potato when you are no longer necessary and if you get in the way of the Bush bank account. Did Mr. Blair honestly believe Bush would involve the UN post war Iraq when his real intent is to eliminate the United Nations? Bush and the gang see the UN as a thorn in the side of their march on the world and they have no intention of including the UN.

Ah, those patriotic sounding names, designed to psychologically fool the public into believing the Repugs have your best interests at heart. Always using "American" or "Family," so you'll think it's for the good of the people, when the truth is these groups and these fine sounding names generally mean they are out to get you and undermine everything American's hold dear. Take, for instance, the recent "Coalition of the Willing," which contained only a couple of countries most Americans could name, yet sounded as though the world was with Bush in his march to war. It's business unusual as the Repugs weave their web of deceit and pull the wool over the eyes of America.

Liberation. The word implies a better life, freedom, and the elimination of fear. Too bad the Iraqis were liberated to find themselves facing chaos and confusion, no lights, no water, no food, no schools, no supplies to provide health care, thugs running rampant in the streets, etc. etc. etc. The only thing in Iraq that has been liberated is oil for Bush. Already, a second administration has been appointed by the Bushies for those who have been freed from tyranny. The Iraqis are finding out the Bush Democracy comes with more strings than a spider's web. Too bad, for them and for us, the yellow brick road gets longer and longer.

Clinton was impeached because he allegedly lied about a private affair. Bush lied about waging wars that killed military youth in America and innocent people, having no warnings of 9-11, Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda, weapons of mass destruction, aid to Afghanistan, and a photo-op delaying the return of our troops to their families that cost the American tax-payer a lot of money. While mainstream media and most of the Congress are willing to allow him his indiscretions, his lies will come home to roost. Sooner or later, his actions will become so outrageous that someone with some sense will begin to see that impeachment is the only answer to getting rid of this Tin-man.

What planet are the Bushies living on?? They tell us they've effectively interrupted Al Qaeda, however BLASTS IN SAUDI KILLING TEN AMERICANS HAVE EARMARKS OF AL QUIDA; they tell us they have effectively eliminated the Taliban and liberated Afghanistan, yet WARLORDS CONTINUE TO WAGE WAR, and THE TALIBAN IS REGROUPING; and they tell us Iraq has been liberated, yet CHOS AND CONFUSION REIGNS IN IRAQ. When will Americans wake up and realize REALITY is the exact opposite of what the Bushies and mainstream media are telling us. If this is success, God help us.

As usual Tom DeLay looks the fool. Can you imagine sending the Texas Rangers to arrest Democratic legislators so you can push your biased agenda? Can you believe these guys? This is "using" the law, not upholding it. Of course, this is a bunch of Repuglicans who will do anything to win. It's looking like Bush, DeLay, et al are doing whatever it takes to accomplish their aspirations of dictating to the American people. Are we looking at a future of taxation, in order to give more money to the rich, without representation? Give me a break, we all know whose tyrannical march should be arrested.

Dennis Miller has launched an ongoing audition for a spot on FOX. He's what's commonly known as the kind of person who will do and say anything for money.

Talk about underestimating -- George Bush certainly underestimated his ability to bring Democracy to Iraq! He can't even get the lights on in that war torn country. Of course, as long as the oil's pumping, everything's AOK for the Bushies. Oil appears to be the most important accomplishment for these guys, whose main interest is fattening their pocketbooks.

Frankly, if Al Qaeda has been neutralized, as we've been told by the current administration, then a Report of Findings from the Congressional reviews of the 9-11 attacks could not have any bearing on National Security. Nothing in that report should be "classified"! It is my opinion that this administration does not want the public to know the truth, because if the American people knew just how negligent this administration was before 9-11, it would compromise Dumbya's chances in the 2004 election! The taxpayers paid for this report and the taxpayers have a right to know what really happened. If the public is to rely on our leaders to protect us and provide the security we are paying for, then we need to know how it happened, why it happened and what must be done to prevent it happening again. The victims of 9-11 deserve the truth.
