Mr. Wasserman's column has crucially glaring omissions: GWB loves Jesus, is
an instrument of God, and is doing God's work so if you don't believe me,
just ask them. Sadly, possibly nothing in the column can likely be refuted:
the information is out there for the entire world to see, but is in the eye
of the beholder(s). Montel recently claimed in effect it has been proved
that people who are cruel to animals don't care what they do humans: if so
and if reports of a particular child blowing up frogs are true, nothing in
Mr. Wasserman's column should be a surprise to any of us.
What is even more sad is the fact that more than 40%, possibly more than 50%, of voters will vote for GWB in November no matter what, no matter how horrific, gruesome, and/or destructive the record/policy initiatives/actions. What is even more sad is not even three Republicans in the House would likely ever vote to impeach no matter what, no matter how damning and serious the almost certain mountain of high crimes, whereas only thirty years ago enough Republican senators would have voted to assure Richard Nixon's conviction. What is even more sad is that more than 40% of voters will vote for GWB in November notwithstanding operation of government in almost total secrecy; wanton destruction of the environment solely for corporate gain; unilateral abrogation of international treaties; ruinous fiscal policies including a highly regressive tax scheme when considering all taxes paid at all levels of government concomitant with the almost certain forthcoming destruction of the social security system and medicare; failure to thwart the horrific attacks of 9-11, attacks which could have/should have been thwarted if my recollection of the remarks of the Republican chairman of that commission is correct; an almost surely unconstitutional legislative encroachment on much of the Bill of Rights and the labeling as the enemy/threatening of anyone with the temerity to voice even mild dissent; and a seemingly illegal pre-emptive war in the absence of UN sanction, a war based almost certainly mostly on lies, distortions, and misrepresentations and were this war illegal, it would be also be unnecessary, immoral, unjust, and inhumane. I could go on for several more pages, but you get the drift.
What is even more sad is not what this President has done, for an ingenious system of checks and balances was built into our Constitution specifically designed to thwart the damage of an out-of-control president could do, but rather what GWB has done with the aid of willing accomplices, with the help of the Congress, the Supreme Court, the mainstream media, and an apathetic and ignorant public, still possibly in shock and reeling from 9-11 and all wrapped in the flag all the while our Constitution is being burned. What is more sad is the mainstream media's almost total failure to keep the people informed in some semblance of the Pulitzer Credo, the incredible number of talking heads who will shill for any policy or action, no matter how wrong-headed/damaging. What is more sad are the incredible number of corporate chieftains who fully support the man and his dream and are fully complicit in his actions. What is even more sad is the huge number of those of the Christian(?) Right who still support and shill for GWB no matter how un-Christian the policies and actions (they might want to pray their God is not a just God for their just desserts might be too horrific to contemplate). What is more sad is 40% or more of Americans are so brain-dead/brainwashed that they must surely love their ideology, conservative "values," and PNAC vision far more than they love our Constitution and our Republic; the government of, by, and for the people; the land of liberty and equal opportunity and justice under the law; the land of the free and home of the brave; the land of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; a land wherein the Congress is vested with the power of the purse string and the declaration of war authority; the separation of powers between and among the three major branches of government; and the separation of church and state for they seem to favor a regime, a cabal whose actions are almost holistically antithetical to all our traditional doctrines and which begs the question "do they really want a corporatist, theological, police-type totalitarian state with a dictator," a type of government that they seem to support, no matter how disastrous the consequences. All that said, Americans, IMHO, have and will richly deserve the government they get and all the lagniappe that comes with it unless/until they loudly dissent in numbers far too large to be ignored each and every time their elected national officials and highly-appointed officials fail to uphold their oaths of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and, moreover, vote in November in numbers too overwhelming for the election to possibly be stolen.
