August 29, 2003

While Rove, Bush, and company may think themselves masters of psychology, we are aware that rolling back regulations on pollution and toxic emissions don't equal a "Clean Air Initiative"! We know that chopping down the trees in our national forests isn't "Friendly or Healthy" for our forests. We are quite aware that "Mission Accomplished" has not been accomplished -- our soldiers are still dying in Iraq! Reverse psychology is Psych 101, and the methods being used by this administration are glaringly transparent. You have to know that whatever they label, nearly the exact opposite action takes place -- and it stinks! When money, power, and politics trumps the people, it's time to return to sanity in Washington.

If you think there isn't a case for Impeaching Bush, then read Marie Cocco's article, "White House Deceit Covered Up 9/11 Truths," [LINK] from Newsday.com!

"Bring 'em on"? Do the Radical Repugs want a terrorist attack here at home? First Bush claims "we're keeping the terrorists busy in Iraq, so there won't be any attacks here in America," then Ollie North repeats, "no attacks in America," then down through the ranks of the right wind bag elite we hear, "we're keeping the terrorists at bay and there haven't been any terrorist attacks here at home"! Very provocative statements, bordering on an invitation for a terrorist attack. (We've seen the results of Dumbya's challenges: more dead after "major combat" than during combat.) The Radicals are getting desperate, now that Americans are on to the innuendo and lies surrounding "shock and awe" and "liberators greeted with flowers and song"! These guys are hoping for another attack so the AWOLer can pretend he's protecting us. How's that for bullshit -- an attack to scare you into believing we're being protected by the biggest chicken to ever come down the pike! Dumbya doesn't even have the courage to face a group of peaceful protestors here at home!

This AM, CNN replayed the Hannity/Schwarzenegger interview at least 15 times. No mention of the gaff by Arnold when he said, "I believe gay marriage is between a man and a woman," even though that particular piece has been included in every replay! I still contend this White House is not supporting Arnold for Governor -- they are supporting one of the conservatives running against Arnold and they are counting on the conservative vote in California in order to get a majority for the Rove's choice candidate. Arnold is a scapegoat designed to split the Democratic vote!

Only in America could the man, who ignored the warnings that resulted in the worst attack to ever occur on our soil and cause the deaths of 3000 citizens, exploit and revise this horror for political gain! Remember people, this is the same guy who flew to Nebraska on 9-11, who had the EPA stifle reports of toxic substances in the air in Manhattan, and stiffed the "first responders" in the federal budget. This is the man responsible for an attempt to cut "combat pay" for the soldiers in Iraq and yet he wants to cash in on their bravery so he can pretend to be a hero! A movie proclaiming his bravery is ludicrous and should be rated a sad, dark satire.

Shades of George Wallace. Does it take defiance of the law to make one credible enough to run for office? In an interview yesterday, one pundit speculated that it is now "politically possible for Judge Roy Moore to run for president"! If the current president is an example that anyone who defies the law can grow up to be president, then it's certainly a possibility!

Indeed George has changed the tone in Washington and our image in the world! America is now known as the bully of the world and we have become famous for lying to wage pre-emptive war. The rest of the world watched "shock and awe" in horror as it rained down on innocent people. We no longer have any credibility. Even our friends and allies do not trust us. In three short years, this administration has managed to wipe out the good and just ideals America has always represented.

This administration thinks they are adept at making the consequences of their ineptitude look as though it was a well planned initiative. However, I say to them that there are those of us out here that know the psychology they are using to fool the public. We are aware of your perverse, pathetic, brainless foolishness.

A majority of California voters, as evidenced by an election some months ago, realize their problems did not originate with Gray Davis. Californians are smart enough to know California's budget problems began with the Bush administration and they know the trumped up energy crisis was a favor to George's pal Kenny to bilk Californians out of billions of dollars and punish a state that voted for Gore. If there is to be a recall, it should start with those who are directly responsible for the massive deficits in our country -- RECALL BUSH!

* * *

To all the Radical extremists on the right -- not to worry, not to fear, Alabama Chief Justice Moore, now that he's been suspended from the Court, will probably get his own TV Talk Show or Radio Show very soon. One thing the right wind bags do for their own is provide a forum and money to spew the diatribe they so readily adopt as gospel.

* * *

Ethnic cleansing comes in many forms and Americans are enduring the Repuglican version! Scandal and smear, intimidation and ridicule, lying, cheating, and theft are their strategies for eliminating the Democratic Party in this country. If we are to continue the America of our forefathers, we must stop this madness created by men promoting an isolationist, greedy, personally profitable, philosophy.

August 25, 2003

"Iraq is turning out to be a continuing war on terrorism," says George Bush. Uhh, Mr. Thief in Chief, shouldn't you have known that before you went to war? Haven't wiser men than you realized that a march on Iraq was opening Pandora's box? Haven't wiser men than you chosen sanctions and containment over never-ending bloodshed and destruction? When American lives and the lives of innocent people are at stake, don't you think prudence and diplomacy are the better course of action?

* * *

When a fool is sent to do a man's job, you end up with the chaos that Iraq has become! Bush's ineptitude created a more sophisticated haven for terrorism than Afghanistan ever was. Instead of Democracy, we now see a quagmire of guerilla warfare and terrorist attacks. Is Peace in the Middle East more elusive than ever before? How long do we have to endure the deaths and the cost of destruction created by a fool?
