Bush Lies, America Cries mark morford sfgate

[caligirl]

Oh my God I feel so much safer. Don't you?
I mean, don't you feel so much more secure in your all-American gun-totin' oil-happy lifestyle now that we have wasted upward of $300 billion worth of your child's future education budget, along with 1,600 disposable young American lives and over 20,000 innocent Iraqi lives and about 10,000 severed American limbs and untold wads of our spiritual and moral currency, all to protect America from terrorism that is, by every account, only getting worse? Nastier? More nebulous? More anti-American?

Here's something funny, in a rip-your-patriotic-heart-out-and-spit-on-it sort of way: Just last week, BushCo's State Department decided to kill the publication of an annual report on international terrorism. Why? Well, because the government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985. Isn't that hilarious? Isn't that heartwarming? Your tax dollars at work, sweetheart. .............

They say that violence is the last refuge of a desperate nation. And violence under the guise of secrecy and outright lie such as BushCo has foisted upon the nation is the last refuge of a nation of thugs. Yes, I'm looking at you, Rummy. I'm looking at you, Cheney. I'm not looking at you, Karl Rove, because looking at you makes my colon clench and looking at you makes birds die and looking at you makes small children feel hopeless and lost, like the world is full of black venomous hate and bilious condescension that is aimed squarely at their heads, like a gun.

2. The universal question of the day...

"WHEN will people get FED UP? HOW MUCH is TOO MUCH? WHEN will the streets of America be turned into one huge, terrifying Watts riot?"

I don't think that most Americans will sign up for a lifetime of servicing Bush's "base"...so the question is how much worse are things going to have to get? How many more will need to die in Iraq? Are we waiting for war in IRAN before we get thoroughly PISSED OFF? How many more jobs will have to be lost? How many more people will need to hold down two or three low-paying jobs to barely make ends meet? How many more people without health care will face serious medical problems?

Hmmmm?

3. When they realize that Bush Co. is worse for America than JJ's breast

and intead of saying "somebody ought to do something about this!" in tones of outrage they actually DO SOMETHING THEMSELVES! I know way to many folks like this who hate some if not all of what Bush Co. has done but do nothing but complain. :banghead:

5. bush lies

bush lies on defense for sure. he is downsizing the west coast's defence. we have very little bases remaining and he wants to close more on the west coast. why? maybe he believes if the west coast gets bombed first, then the east coast would have time to seek shelter. does he factor in the jet stream?

6. Closes our bases while they're building new ones

in Iraq with our tax dollars!!

7. excellent piece from Moford

He has a very lucid, stream-of-consciousness style combined with a razor sharp wit... and he speaks the Truth!

Thanks, Mr. Moford, for telling it like it is! :yourock:
