I Declare Shenanigans On This Whole Carnival.
I have had it. I have had it with the Socialism is coming people. I have had it with the bailout for Wall Street is fine anybody else is SOL. I can not stand the Democratic Congress leadership and the Republicon Lizard People. I can not listen to our cheerleading propoganda promoting corporate media. I Declare Shenanigans On This Whole Carnival.
After listening to the farewell speech our worst President ever just gave I can not find a single piece of truthful information. Every claim Bush Jr makes is false or skewed, and if no one in the traditional corporate media calls him on it now we should remind every one how terrible this misleader of our nation has been.
How can we prevent another disaster POTUS from ever striking again?
For the record -
- America is not safer because of Bush Jr. Global terrorism is on the rise as a reaction to our militaristic behavior.
- We have not been bringing political and social freedom to the world, only the economic freedom that impoverishes the disadvantaged while allowing multinational corporations to profit on misery.
- The environment is not safer, we just lowered the official standards for safe.
- Our education system has not improved, we just lowered the standard for smart.
- By fighting the war abroad we have bankrupted the nation at home. If we don't look inwards at our actions at home how dare we impose our views on others.
- We have not supported our military, both active soldiers and veterans. We have created a marketplace for war profiteering and mercenary soldiers that will take decades to eradicate even if we started now.
- Though we did not deserve to be the target of terrorism we have incited the nations and people of the world to attack us because of the policies enforced by our nations leaders, past and present.
- If the Bush presidency acted to stave of economic disaster in our nation through his TARP bailout, where did the money go?
- How many more things could we add to this list of lies?
Facilitated by the Democratic party, the Republicon party and the corporate masters who give them their orders, Bush Jr has destoyed our economy, our reputation abroad, our environment, our constitution and possibly the future as well.
How can we fight back?
Always remind the Reublicons who supported Bush Jr that he was the worst President ever. Destroy his legacy with the truth, the facts we base on history and science, you know, that whole reality thing the conservative movement only applies when it suits their purposes. Remind the politicians that once sought Bush Jr's endorsement for their campaigns that he was the worst President ever. Remind the Democrats that licked his boots that they are next. Remind the media that looked the other way on Iraq, on Katrina, on Alberto Gonzales and Valerie Plame and the environment and the Wall St bailout and everything else. Ask them where Osama is. If they can arrest us without trial, spy on us and torture us, shouldn't they have the "tools" to have found him by now? Rich Lowry thinks Bush Jr only had one real scandal, the Valerie Plame affair. I wonder if he pretends he is W while he fantasizes about Sarah Palin with his blow up hockey mom doll.
Remind all these Neville Chamberlains' that they were wasting time with culture wars and socialism while they vilified the left. Remind them that they totally missed the 700 pound elephant in the white house who will go down in history as the worst president ever. Aw, how cute, you were playing reporter, you even brought a camera crew and press pass along with you. Aw, isn't that cute.
Most importantly, remind the people in your life that are not passionate about progreesive politics and economics, the indifferent and undecided and non voters. They are the ones who smell this crap but can't tell what it is until they are standing in it. If the only claim to glory Bush has is that we haven't been attacked in the last 7 years, if that is his true mission accomplished, it is still a tremendous failure. It is like saying that, yeah, I wrecked your house while I was watching it while you were on vacation, but, at least the place didn't burn down. Deny Bush Jr any legacy other than the truth, which is the toatl failure of conservative government on every level. They have failed. We know it. The world knows it.
But not us.
We will succeed.
We will never forget.
Every thing changed. For the worse.
Farewell? Fare poorly, soon-to-be-ex President Bush Jr. Don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out.
Tuesday couldn't come any sooner. I will be celebrating like Odysseus when he found home. Hug a fellow Democrat. Kiss a Kossack. And throw a shoe full of truth at everybody else.
UPDATE.
How do we prevent another Hurricane Wingnut again? I ask a very serious question. Our nation can not suffer this again.
Our liberty hangs in the balance. At what point do we fear becoming a nation of freedom in name only?
Please respond with ideas on how to prevent another POTUS or VPOTUS from expanding executive power again. Or how to roll back illegal powers already assumed. Or how to return civil liberty and repair rights where they have been denied. Or, oh hell, screw this! This game is rigged!
I declare Shenanigans!
