Anyway, here we find ourselves nose to nose with a sizable amount of "free citizens" who don't seem to care that Bush and Co. lied to them! Think about it. Here are the same folks who were beside themselves with anger and hatred for a president who lied about an affair now saying, basically, "Bush lied? So What? What about all those mass graves and all those liberated people? Who cares about all those innocent civilians who were murdered? Saddam is gone. We kicked their butts so let's all get down on our knees and thank God that Bush is president." Right?

Okay, sure.

Whatever you say.

But if you want to believe that then you must go take down the American flag you've been flying so proudly, go into your back yard and dig a big hole and bury the damn thing. For any member of a free society to proudly proclaim that it doesn't matter if our leaders lie to us - especially when those lies threaten our security and cost thousands of innocent lives - then he has no business flying the flag. Such a mindset is insulting and does a great disservice to those who fight and die to protect the noble principles that flag once stood for and still cries out to stand for - perhaps even more urgently today.

How do we confront a segment of the population who willingly allow itself to be intellectually abused by Bush and his media mouthpieces? The lies and corruption infesting this administration have become so in-your-face it would appear inconceivable that the Bush fans refuse to see it. Yet, even when a little bit of truth manages to seep between the cracks in the dam, the best they can do is say, "So what."

1. Its not about Sex!!!

That was the right wing christian conservative moral absolutist theme in 98. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT A PRESIDENT LIES ABOUT. If he lies he should be removed from office. 2003 - its not about "imminent threats" or "WMD." Right wingnuts set a standard in 1998 and they should uphold their standard or come forth with a new one for all the world to see and recognize and hold them accountable for.

THANKS FOR THE THREAD JCHILD!

4. well, just what do expect

from a bunch of dishonest hypocrites? (aka, fundie repugs).

The saying: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" just never registers with them, because what they do is automatically right.

(also see "let him without sin throw the first stone" and "turn the other cheek" for other examples of blatent hypocrisy)

Larry Flynt has the right idea. Out the bastards.
