GOP - Fear and Incompetance

Fear Vs Hope


I wrote this on News Years Day and it's sadly a prediction (observation) that was all to easy to make.

I hate using the fear word but its going to be prominent in ’08. Fear of Iran, Al Qaeda, terrorists everywhere among us, immigrant hordes, liberals and worst of all taxes.

I have hope that none of it will work;

Hope that the best Democrat will win the nomination;

Hope that this Democrat will be president;

Hope that war crimes will be on the road to justice;

Hope that the fascist threat from the right-wing will be left in the dustbin of history.

Keith Olbermann: The Nexus of Politics and Terror

Bush-hugging McCain has made fear of terror and nation-building occupation and still more war as the center of his run for the presidency. (The Republican-like DLC supported Hillary Clinton campaign may be close to doing the same after she revealed herself to be a zealous hawk on Iran with her huge protective umbrella over the Middle East.)

As is typical he and the other so called conservatives like to claim that the liberals are to blame for the problems in Iraq.

Complete nonsense.

The Republicans were in charge;

when warnings about terrorism were ignored before 9/11,

when Afghanistan and the battle against the Taliban and Al Qaeda was abandoned,

when a war of choice against a country that was not an imminent threat was begun,

when a war in Iraq was begun based on lies,

when this ill-advised war was begun without a cultural understanding of the people,

when far too few troops were used for that illegal action in Iraq,

when lawlessness and looting were tolerated,

when the Iraq army was disbanded,

when troop armor and gear were kept sup-par for the mission,

when a forced vote was held too early before Sunni concerns were addressed,

when torture was allowed to become administration policy,

when illegal detentions became administration policy,

when spying on Americans became administration policy,

when support for war profiteers became administration policy,

when habeas corpus became something not available to all,

when posse comitatus became abandoned,

when spying on American citizens became an okay thing to do,

when a culture of corruption was allowed to flourish at home,

when congressional oversight was abandoned,

when doing the same failed thing over and over without success became the plan,

when our war dead became something to hide in shame,

when the injured military and their families were treated without proper care or respect,

when terrorism was allowed to grow world wide while claiming success,

when fear became a weapon of propaganda against the American people,

when failure became always someone else’s fault,and when lies and propaganda became an acceptable substitute for truth when dealing with the public,

when obsene debt, weak dollar, $100+ a barrel of oil, inflation and recession have appeared.

For these reasons and many more Iraq has become the volatile mess it now is.

For these reasons and many more impeachment is well deserved for the Bush/Cheney cabal.

For these reasons and many more McCain does not deserve the presidency.

The Gop and religious extremists

Remember that this current group of Conservatives, especially the Neo-kind, have a distorted view of spiritualality.

They worship at the Alter of Commerce in the Church of Supremacy.
Their dungeons are full of skeletons and sinister secrets.
Half truths, self- aggrandizement and trepidation are the subjects of their sermons.
The virtues they cherish are greed, pride, gluttony and tyranny.
The fruit they bare is misery, death and devastation.
Darkness follows in their wake;
And ruin is their toll.
