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.
May 23, 2003
More
and more, here and there, until
now silent, voices
are being heard questioning Bush
and his administration. Chatter from
the periphery is beginning to get
louder. People are wondering why
the Report on 9-11 has not been released
and a crescendo is growing. What
can it possibly do to aide -- what
has been billed as -- an injured
group of evil doers without a base?
Is
it true that the only injury suffered
will be public knowledge that the
Bushies ignored the intelligence
warnings and were negligent? The
victims, their families, and the
American people are entitled to an
in-depth report and the truth.

Intellectual capacity
has its merits. Wise men have known
that research and development of
newer more modern nuclear weapons
will put this planet and all it's
people in jeopardy of eventual annihilation.
While madmen, in their insanity,
believe that newer nukes increase
their ability to threaten and control,
brute force will not guarantee a
lasting victory. It only incites
like-minded madmen to produce bigger
weapons and perpetuates a climate
that is dangerous to the health and
well being of every living thing
on earth. * * *

The question for 2004:
ARE YOU SAFER TODAY THAN YOU WERE
4 YEARS AGO? Thanks to the Bush Cartel,
Americans can expect eternal wars
worldwide. We are finding out that
a safer America under a Repuglican
administration is a myth. They've
always found it necessary to have
a war, any war, to promote the illusion
of prowess. It's a bunch of bull
designed to scare the American people
so the defense industry can legitimately
walk away with your tax money. This
time though, these morons have created
a dangerous atmosphere for the whole
world. People have died and security
is a thing of the past. It really
is time for a regime change. * * *
How
in the world can anyone expect
George Bush to "restore
dignity and integrity to the White
House," when he doesn't even
know the meaning of the words? In
order to accomplish a task, one must
be intelligent enough to know what
the task comprises. The moron perched
in the Oval Office does not have
the capability to absorb such a profound
undertaking. Bush does not have the
intellectual capacity to do the job
he had to steal. He's just another
thug who botched the heist.

Bush,
in a flight suit aboard an aircraft
carrier,
expecting adulation. A "masterfully
arranged" photo-op? No it was
not! The entire performance was a
farce from the get go, an illusion
created by men with no conscience,
drunk on power. From pretending to
fly a jet, his "studly" image,
to the stumbling, bumbling speech
reading, it was all a scam designed
to fool the American people. There
is nothing masterful in a lie!
* * *
Here we go again --
another ORANGE TERROR ALERT and more
fear dumped on the American people.
I resent having to wonder if it's
the terrorists, bombs, bullets, and
death I should be afraid of, or something
this administration is trying to
cover up. Will this alert affect
my pocketbook and my freedoms; are
Bush and the gang again chipping
away at civil rights and civil liberties;
are they using this alert to further
the Bush tax cut? Terror alerts,
like all things Bush, contain a myriad
of chaos and confusion, which is
reflective of his madness and insanity.
* * *
Hope springs eternal
for most parents! As they watch their
children stumble and fall, moms and
dads continue to hope the next endeavor
is the one that will bring success
for their child. Every once in a
while, no matter how hard they try
and no matter what they buy, the
child is still a loser. Poppy should
wake up to reality and realize that
Georgie is not just a youngster sowing
his wild oats, his antics no longer
affect just the family. George is
a loose cannon causing death and
destruction suffered by the whole
world.

May 20, 2003
The next time the moron
reads a speech wallowing in his own
glory, remember he was after the
oil, American taxpayer's money, and
fattening his pocketbook -- that
is how he spells victory. Democracy
and liberation for the Iraqi people
are merely window dressing to get
the black gold and the contract perks
that go with it.
* * *
As goes Afghanistan,
so goes Iraq. The American people
are being deluged with victory speeches
while both these countries are returning
to the oppression they were ruled
by for so many years. I suppose for
this could be construed as democracy
by the mentally challenged Bush!
* * *
Seems that when Bill
Clinton supposedly lied to the American
people about an affair that was long
over, it became an impeachable offense
for the rabid self righteous Repugs.
The fact that George Bush lied in
order to go to war and American military
lives and innocent Iraqi lives were
lost, it's AOK for this same bunch
of pious sorry legislators. As I
listen to CNN and the morning bantering
drivel justify the lies told by Bush,
and a psychological attempt to make
lying to the American people the
norm and an act to be expected, I
am appalled. America invaded another
country preemptively, lives were
lost and chaos has resulted based
on Bush lies -- and for this administration
and their supporters, that's OK.
Not in my book it isn't.

May 19, 2003
As Bush runs around
touting victory and basking in his
own image, I pause and think of a
pig in a sty as he wallows happily
in the mud. The pig is too stupid
to realize the mud is a quagmire.
Does Bush think there's victory in
Afghanistan and Iraq?
* * *
Image is a powerful
thing -- as we've learned from the
Office of Disinformation. American
hearts swelled with pride as we watched
green night vision photos of the
rescue of Jessica Lynch. While I'm
happy over her recovery, I'm sad
to know that humane Iraqi medical
personnel and Jessica Lynch were
used to dupe the American people
for political reasons. Anyone responsible
for such a scam is the most despicable
kind of human being. |
