And all the sons of Congressmen! And the two adorable 100 Proof Bush daughters! (Ginna and Tonic)

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
- H.L. Mencken

“That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

"Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them.  There is almost no kind of outrage - - - -torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians - - - - which does not change its moral color when it is committed by our side.  The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
-George Orwell

"Under the Bush administration, openness and accountability have been replaced by secrecy and evasion of responsibility. They abuse their power, conceal their actions from the American people, and refuse to hold officials accountable."
-Senator Edward M. Kennedy

“George W.Bush is deeply interested in Deep Space Exploration. His next project will be to circle Uranus and search for Kingons…..”
-Dallas Herald

“Once a Republican, always a coprophile…:”
-Mother Theresa

America’s Enemies!

There are four entities who represent the most dangerous enemies to American liberties since George III.

They are:

1.             The Neocons or Likudists who owe their personal allegiance to another country and now completely control our foreign policy. They lied and deceived us into the Iraq war and are demanding that more and more American soldiers die to preserve their own country and ideals.

2.             The Christian Evangelical right who is trying to force the United States into becoming a theocracy under their rule. They know in their hearts that they alone can restructure a secular humanist America into their idea of Heaven on Earth.

3.             An element of American society that call themselves Patriots and are obsessively militaristic and great admirers of the corporate or fascistic state. Many of these have been very minor members of the American military and as a counterbalance to their reserve or rear area tours of duty, are rabidly in favor of draconian military action, the bloodier the better. Usually these drumbeaters are too old, or too fat, to fight and have no sons of draft age.

4.             George W. Bush, who is the worst president in the history of the United States and directly responsible for the huge death tolls in Iraq, is determined to rule the United States until God puts a stop to him and is even more determined to force the American people into becoming obedient, Christian and self-sacrificing lemmings who worship at his shrine and march in step.

The Voice of the White House

August 10, 2005: “Since you seem to have drawn down the twittering wrath of the infestation of bloggers on the internet, I ought to put out a bit of information on some of these creatures. There is serious and growing criticism against Bush and his destructive war and this has now reached a level as to thoroughly alarm both the White House that instigated the war and the Pentagon who has to maintain troop levels to replace the slaughtered. It is no secret here that the Rove people have been hiring bloggers to put out a number of wild stories in the hopes that the internet people (who read other news than the crap from the controlled press and media) will be so bemused by stories of Bush being indicted or running away or of military plots against him that the terrible stories about the very high death and injury tolls will be forced off the net or so trashed that no one will believe them. For an example of rabid pro-Bush propaganda, read Matt Drudge or NewsMax or watch FOX news.  In the end, the nonsense will drift away like the phony smokescreen it is and the truth will once more become evident. People do not like being lied to but Rove feels that if he can distract the public and sidetrack serious and escalating criticism of his beloved sweetie, he will have succeeded.
