What Will It Take To Defeat Bush? Good article!
Meditations (Politics) - From Martin LeFevre in California

What Will It Take To Defeat Bush?
The thought of another four years of the devil's right hand man as "leader of the free world" is too horrible to contemplate. But can Bush, and what he represents, be defeated?

It is already too late for America. That's not the issue. The question is: will another four years of rule by these soulless men and women make it too late for humankind?

Certainly defeating Bush will not, in itself, change anything. Shrub could easily be replaced by another puppet of the corporate and dark forces that are pulling his strings.

The issue goes beyond American hegemony as well. The reason people hate Bush so much is that they see or sense that the disgusting physical and metaphysical entities that rule the world are going for all the marbles in him.

The goal of greedy elites is the destruction of the diversity of life and peoples on earth, replaced by a smoothly operating consumeristic political economy. But that too is merely a means to the end of the ultimate metaphysical goal of the darkness in human consciousness. That is to bring about an irrecoverable erosion of the human character and the human spirit.

2. Excellent article
"First, many more people need to see that Bush and the bootlickers of American power, as well as the skulking worldwide terrorist network, work for the same master. Bush's God, Sharon's Yahweh, and bin Laden's Allah are the projected darkness of human consciousness in different disguises."

This brings to mind the scene in LOTR where Saruman and his evil army are uprooting the trees and laying waste the earth. As all great literature, Lord of the rings speaks to every generation. Hopefully, as Frodo was successful in his quest, we will also be able to defeat the dark forces that have overtaken our planet.

5. There is no failure like military failure
Edited on Thu Dec-11-03 08:30 PM by teryang
That will be his downfall. He is wasting the nations treasury and military capital for what? An inevitable political defeat in the middle east. Meanwhile his cronies get fabulously wealthy feasting at the public trough while they dismantle the liberal republic. They will be well padded when they get thrown out.

Unfortunately they may exhaust and punish our nation for eight years rather than four. Then of course, there will be the very costly recuperation and repairs that will need to be done to pay for their incalculable damages, that will require even greater sacrifices.

7. I'd have to take exception to the line about...
..."there is no deity...", but other than that, it's pretty much dead on.




"Like sheep without a shepherd
Don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
Wind up following the wrong gods home"
-Don Henley
