the face of evil, Dick Dastardly... Dick Cheney is the most evil man in US history. People once often pointed to Charles Manson as the embodiment of evil; he had his followers kill nine people, and his planned race war (or what ever the hell it was) was only a demented fantasy. Cheney worked years to achieve access to the greatest earthly powers. He has the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands.
There are several [more than can fit to mention in this short essay] vignettes of episodic evil with cheney. He was all for the Viet Nam war, he got five deferments to make sure he didn't go. He stopped filing when he turned twenty-six, and was too old to be drafted. As he said, "I had other priorities in the 60's than military service. I don't regret the decisions I made". In August 2002 he told the world, through a speech, that the country was going to war with Iraq. Mid-March, his then puppet, gwbjr did start it on the false premises that had been invented, and no voice to the contrary was going to be respected. Often cheney was reported hiding "in an undisclosed location". That was bullshit too. ...
We all know he is "heartless", recently he received an human heart from a dead person. He has put out a book about the marvels of such medicine, he does not consider the dead man. ...
Laws don't apply to cheney, and his kind. He is an international war criminal, and in some countries he could be arrested, hell, if other countries followed his suit, he could be captured (extraordinary rendition) and tortured (water boarded) in a real undisclosed location. He approves of such activities. It would be poetic justice. ...
I remember a priest telling a story of how he refused a family's request of having "My Way" played at a funeral. See, a Christian is not supposed to be prideful in himself. A Christian is supposed to follow the Way of Jesus. Lucifer lost Heaven for his pride of having his way. Cheney, and Lucifer always made it sure they could say "I did it my way". Cheney was always self assured while lying, and wrong. He has never regretted anything, not even his lack of political etiquette. He told Senator Leahy, on the Senate floor, "go f@$# yourself". Leahy had criticised cheney over Halliburton (his source of mammon). Cheney had no regrets, he went on radio and said, "That's sort of the best thing I ever did".
Some people posit Hitler as the face of evil. It must be "sweeps week", one of the local television news stations is promoting a piece by that name, face of evil. They show a wax head of Hitler. Hitler had a sense of satanic theatre, cheney is blood thirsty, manipulative, but not theatrical. All men die, when cheney croaks, the sound of a colossal sizzle will emanate from Hell.

(70,581 posts)Dick Cheney's stocks rose 3,800% after the start of the Iraqi war. Most
investment portfolios figure anything over 5% doing "kind of" good.
Halliburton was really hurting because of some legal issues from asbestos but
after the Iraq war and Katrina ... cost plus no bid contracts ..... the company
turned around.
The man started a war to make money.

(12,265 posts)This makes my blood boil! We have young men and women who have died, been maimed for life so this rat can get rich and sneer at average Americans. What a crock of crap!

(60 posts)Often, evil is not immediately apparent. But Cheney is an exception. He's always been recognizable, proud and arrogant about it. World class contender.

(11,104 posts)Dick Cheney is a war criminal.
His bloodlust seems so odd given the fact that when it was his turn to go to war, "other priorities" kept his five-deferment ass out of the bloody jungles of Vietnam....unlike many young men I knew.
Whenever he`s asked about it, he sneers. Not even a hint of compassion for those who took his place, just like the same lack of compassion for those killed for his lie in Iraq.
He`s a heartless war criminal.

(1,074 posts)when Kerry was running against Bush, Cheney's wife had the NERVE to say something like "John Kerry is not a good man, he is not a nice man." I remember thinking back then "how dare she say that about Kerry when her husband is a monster!" But, that's how the Republicans are - the most hypocritical people ever!
