A burglar throws his partner gold and money from a second story window only because feels certain the guy won't run off with his goods. He can be confident of this because he knows the man depends on him to be there to throw him another man's treasure from another window some other night. For this reason, and contrary to popular belief, there is in fact some degree of what could be called 'honor' among thieves. We are now seeing this same principle at work on a much larger scale with the Bush government and it's relationship with corporate America.
While screaming for smaller government, republicans furiously cut every budget they can't steal from. If a federally budgeted program is to be managed by a local municipality (and has the purpose of serving the needs of a city of poor black democrats, like say... New Orleans) the opportunity for graft at the federal level will be small and this budget will be targeted for reduction or elimination. At the same time, these fiscal parasites will go to any length in their effort to force-feed us useless big money programs like the trillion dollar "star wars" defense system that offers no realistic hope of ever serving it's intended purpose.
Like the burglar, the republican klepto uses one single factor to differentiate between programs to be cut and programs to be
overfed, and that factor is who will be catching the 'booty, and how likely he is to later hand his 'partner' an appropriate cut.
George W Bush is nothing more than a glorified second story man who has teamed with criminal corporate partners for the purpose of robbing America blind. They are a group of con men who have used America's trusting nature, our faith in God, our unwavering patriotism, and even our fear of terrorism against us.
It's time to get angry America, and it's time to permanently wipe that fascist egg from our faces
