Let's Get Something Straight!
Ok, let’s get something straight.
First, we all know that Bush & Co. lied! We’ve known that for a long, long time. The neo-Coneheads wanted War with Iraq when Clinton (for god’s sake!!) was president. They worked for it then and more so when Bush was elected. They said they’d need another “Pearl Harbor” to sell their War to the American people. September 11 came along and they couldn’t stop talking about Pearl Harbor. You know all the shit they pulled: first excuse! Oh, doesn’t work – never mind. Second excuse! Oh, doesn’t work – never mind. On and on down the line until it eventually became “Saddam is a big jerk,” and they went to war (or, I should say, they sent our kids to their war).
We know all this (if we’ve been paying attention).
But!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be careful. Of late we are hearing shit that we are likely to mistake for Thanksgiving dinner if we don’t step back and consider reality.
All I’m hearing/seeing/reading in the media is focused on an irrelevant pissing contest. The R’s and D’s are “playing” us again – with their own interests in mind.
The R’s want to cover their shit by NOT addressing it at all. The only thing they want to say is that the D’s voted FOR the war based on the same “intelligence” that motivated the R’s. As if, even if that were true, it means something in regard to what the hell is happening to us and the world.
It’s comparable to saying, “Well, we fucked up, but it’s OK because the Democrats fucked up too.” Thank you so much!! That’s a big help!! That’ll make every boo-boo go away, even better than Mommy’s kisses on the sore spot!
If you’re a regular visitor here, you probably are already aware of all that, but there’s an equally important point I’d like to share in case it hasn’t been as spectacularly obvious as the Republican shit being spread from sea to shining sea. It’s the Democrat shit!
Don’t buy this bull about the D’s supporting the war based on “faulty intelligence.” What crap! I’m just a tired, retired, old public school teacher; I’m no god-damned senator. I never earned in four years what they’re paid in one year (forget their perks, retirement, travel reimbursement, side deals, kick-backs, campaign funds, etc.).
I don’t have assistants running around to help me figure things out. I don’t have access to an army of bureaucrats who can fact check data for me. I don’t have “intelligence” reports that I can choose not to read (as has been reported in regard to Democratic legislators). STILL, I knew Bush was lying (or, if not lying, that he was a fucking moron egged on by fucking morons)! I knew Bush should have continued the sanctions rather than rushing to war! I knew a multitude of reasons why we should have held off going to war when we did, and I wrote to Joe Hallett of “The Columbus Dispatch” in February before the war started, and you can read my letter, published here on August 04, 05 (reposted directly below).
So, if I knew what the fuck was going on WITHOUT SEEING ANY “INTELLIGENCE,” where were the fucking Democrats???????????? Our goddamned “leaders.” The “champions of the little guy”? The ones in SO MUCH BETTER POSITION THAN I TO SEE BUSH’S SHIT??? Where the fuck WERE they!!!!
I’ll tell you where they were: sucking their thumbs in the bathroom wondering how in the world they were going to get re-elected; wondering about what they could do and what they could say, and how they could convince us that while, like George, they wanted to take over the world and serve the moneyed class, they still loved US more than the Republicans did; and that we, as a result, should vote for them.
They went along with Bush and fed us shit to explain their complicity. Now that it’s blown up in his face, they’re parsing their positions in a new and “improved” way, claiming they were duped by Dubya’s duplicity.
No way!
Both then and now, the D’s are fully responsible for their actions. They were not duped – they MOST CERTAINLY saw what was what, just as clearly as I did. The only difference is in how they and I chose to react to the situation. They took the easy way, the politic way, the way that seemed most likely to pay off by chumming the electorate..
Now that the people have awakened to the utter bullshit represented by the Cheney/neo-Conehead/ money-grubbing/America-rules-the-world imperialism that stoked the madness, the spineless Democrats are busy seeking face-saving postures to assume.
NOW, they’re against the war (but we can’t bring the troops home too soon). NOW they supported the war ONLY because they were fed faulty “intelligence”!
No! They actually CHOSE to play along with the “faulty intelligence” for two reasons:
1. They want U.S. hegemony too; they are, like the R’s, imperialists; and want economic leverage over the rest of the world in order to increase the wealth of their masters here at home (who are the R’s masters as well)
2. A stand on principle is out of the question since “principle” is not a reality to them. Their job is NOT to serve the people (the ostensible purpose of the Democratic party), but to maintain themselves at the expense of the people (but without our being aware of that).
Now that the R’s are finally catching hell from an awakening populace, the D’s have put their foot forward claiming to be misunderstood, misrepresented, and ready - NOW – to do the right thing (which, in actuality, is “the right thing” for them but not really much different than what we have now).
Having finally seen through the smoke of one set of charlatans (the R’s), we are expected to put our faith in a second set of self-serving liars (the D’s) who will ride that horse until it eventually drops and the R’s mount up again in their turn!
Watch out! Resist! Revolt! The world can’t wait! Don’t put your faith in clods who see us as nothing more than farm animals suitable for shearing generation after generation or – should it prove necessary – as suitably fattened for slaughter and sacrifice upon the holy altar of the dollar under the sacred auspices of the infallible marketplace.
