IS BUSH TURNING TO THE BOTTLE, YET AGAIN?
Before I proceed: My e-mail is still down. I had a LOT more that I wanted to present, tonight, but Comcast is still screwing me around. A tech is due to come over and (hopefully) fix it, on thursday, but there's no promise. I'll be off to DC on the following day, for the big March on Washington, on the 24th.
That having been said:
Yay for Bloomberg, and the NYPD- seriously...
Cindy Sheehan arrived in NYC yesterday- and when she was speaking to those assembled in Union Square, her mike was pulled, by thugs who wore the uniform of the New York City Police Department.
God Bless you, Mayor Bloomberg- every time I go into the city, I see those police cruisers with "Courtesy, Professionalism, and Respect" emblazened on their ass-ends. Remember when they were placed there? Let me remind you:
They were a token bunch of words that your predecessor's advisors came up with, after Abner Louima was raped with a toilet plunger, by similar NYPD thugs, back in the last decade.
Nice words, comforting words- but just words, in the end..
The NYCPD scumballs who perpetrated this act are no better than the brownshirt thugs who waded into socialist rallies, in 1930's Berlin, splitting heads, and quashing dissent by brutal force.
The reason for this police action? Because the Union Square Camp Casey folks were ostensibly using a "public address system" without a permit. Yep- alla that noise out of a ten-watt speaker was just such a horrific breach of the peace, that the cops just HAD to put an end to it...
Okay- enough sarchasm- I know a majority of you haven't ever been to NYC, much less Union Square, so lemme describe your average weekday afternoon in that area:
Union Square is a one-block park in lower Manhattan, bordered on both sides by two of the busiest traffic arteries in NYC- Broadway on one side- Park avenue on the other. Needless to say, the traffic noise, on the average day, is far and away greater than that which was pumped out by the Camp Casey folks. Add to that, the noise issuing from the half-dozen boomboxes that are always rolling through the area, and well- one has a hard time believing that the squawking from a rigged PA system is warranting the police action, that took place.
It's sorta like when I'm walking about in NYC, and someone complains about my cigarette smoke- yeah, right- you have a dead bum's corpse rotting in a doorway, fresh dog feces in the gutter, and the fumes from a homeless guy's fresh urine wafting about, on just about every street corner- and that's all fine and good- but add to that a few molecules of cigarette smoke, and suddenly, it's all too much.
And people say New Jersey is nasty...
There is so much that's going on-
Bush is tanking fast, in every poll, no one is buying Bush's assurances that the white house is well-suited to investigate itself- Karl Rove (fresh from popping out kidney stones from his withered man-bit), has taken over the hurricane relief effort, for the white house (why the hell did Bush appoint a political director to handle a humanitarian crisis? Simple- Turd Blossom was able to turn two decorated veterans (McCain and Kerry) into terrorist-loving draft-dodgers- if he can pull that off, he's sure to be able to turn this disaster into a net plus- but I have a feeling that Rove's met his match- time alone will tell.)
Now- some are saying that the Bush "presidency" is over
And that he'll never recover from his abominable performance, over the past two months- but as we've learned, in recent days, a month is a long time in politics. It is easy- damned easy (especially for us who have been fighting this administration for the past five years), to sit back, and assume that Bush's downward spiral will continue. But we cannot let these bastards off the hook, for one second.
Bush may be on the ropes- but so was Muhammad Ali, in his legendary fight with Foreman, yet Ali was able to recover, and claim victory, from the jaws of what everyone expected to be an ignomous defeat.
We need to keep the pressure on- and redouble our efforts. We have over a year to work, harder than ever, before the Bush bowl tries to steal the 2006 elections- and we can't afford to give them any quarter. Don't ever, for one damned second, think that Bush is down and out- keep piling it on- counter every corporate media lie, every Simple Scotty talking point, with the truth, and never- never- NEVER relent. These scumbags deserve not one thought of mercy, or accomodation- we're fighting for our country, and for our future- never forget that.
The following article was featured on Mr. Cranky's movie review site- well put:
Unlike all these bleeding-heart liberals who are shouting every chance they get about this supposed tragedy in the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and the imaginary lies President Bush used to start the war in Iraq and the various acts of terrorism around the world, I believe it's time we focus on the real reason we're in these messes we're in. The problems in the world and the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina can all be traced back to one thing, one single source: In 1997, then President Bill Clinton received oral sex from an intern, Monica Lewinsky, and lied about it to the American people and to Congress.
When a President receives oral sex from an intern and then lies about it, the gravity of such an act cannot be overstated. It is, quite possibly, the single most heinous act ever committed by a President of the United States. Even if President Bush did lie to the world about his reasons for starting the war in Iraq, the ramifications of such a lie are dwarfed in comparison to lying about receiving oral sex. Although many people have suffered in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the response by FEMA was obviously inadequate, the responsibility for that response does not lie with the current administration, but with the Clinton Administration.
Once Bill Clinton received oral sex from Monica Lewinsky and then lied about it to the American people and Congress, he set in motion a series of events that would eventually result in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the War in Iraq, and the poor response to Hurricane Katrina. Let's take a look at how these things happened.
Once President Clinton's blow job became public knowledge, terrorist organizations around the world realized that United States security would soon be compromised because public employees would no longer have enough confidence in their leader to do their jobs correctly. Terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda rightly concluded that Americans no longer had faith in their government or faith in their President. Americans realized that if the President could receive oral sex and lie about it, then the morals for which their country stood had been severely compromised and since those morals form the foundation of American society, American society was compromised. The lie about oral sex would spread through American society like a cancer, eating away at everything from highway infrastructure to airport security. This was precisely the time when Al Qaeda planned its attack.
Given this explanation, it was President Clinton's lie about receiving oral sex from Monica Lewinsky that ultimately forced President Bush to attack Afghanistan and then Iraq. Much like Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein immediately recognized that Monica Lewinsky's blowjob would cripple any American response to Iraqi aggression. It was at that time that he began development of his weapons of mass destruction. Since Americans now lived in a land without moral standards, Hussein realized that he could build weapons of mass destruction without fear of reprisal. It was only President Bush's bravery and willingness to stand up to Hussein and re-establish our moral backbone that prevented a world-wide catastrophe. President Bush had to do this because President Clinton eroded America's moral backbone by lying about receiving oral sex from Monica Lewinsky.
Although Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast nearly seven years after President Clinton received oral sex from Monica Lewinsky, that act still stands as the primary culprit in the government's response to the tragedy. Having lived with the shame their President spread on the nation, government employees no longer possess the willingness or the energy to respond effectively to tragedies. They know that their jobs no longer have any meaning and that people around the world look upon them as pariahs without morals because their President, who received oral sex from an intern, undermined everything that American government stands for. In other words, if American government can stand for lies and pornography and the like, how can any government worker do his or her job correctly? Not only this, but since 1998, studies have shown that applicants for government positions have consisted primarily of people with low morals and ethics. By and large, they are people who are interested in holding government positions because they know that lying and cheating is a part of government work. As a result, the effectiveness of government offices across the board has suffered dramatically and the American people can no longer have faith in the effectiveness of their responses to any given situation.
If only President Clinton has stopped and thought about the long-term effects of his tragic decision as Monica Lewinsky was kneeling before him, we could have prevented 9/11, prevented wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and organized a more effective response to Hurricane Katrina.
