Remember my Humpty-Dumpty analogy for the Bush Wars? Seems a lot of people started thinking along the same lines lately... and Dubya responded. Did anyone else hear his comment that he "doesn't think of Iraq as a broken egg", he "thinks it's more of a cracked egg"? (Duh? What's the difference, George? Exactly what planet are you from?)
I heard the sound clip one morning on NPR and didn't hear it again all day.
I think it says everything about our nation and what we have become.
You actually voted for this guy TWICE!
Remember when Bush's Invasion of Iraq was a *soldier a day* and a $ billion a week?
You knew it escalated to more blood and carnage a day, but did you know Bush's off-budget carte-blanche war is now costing your tax-sponsored credit card over two billion a week?
Couldn't we better spend that money here? On homeland security and shoring up successful social programs?
What is it about "fighting over there so we don't have to fight them here" that keeps "them" over "there"? Logically, "they" can do two things at the same time. We are not safer by invading other countries. We don't spread democracy, we spread hatred which will encourage someone sometime to act on that thought. Blowback is heck. Expect more blowback, and it will be heck. We are spending our life's blood on militarism for nothing...
Okay, so they have filled The Grover Noquist-described Bathtub to drown our government in.
We have been convinced by free traders and Madison Avenue to sell our birthright to the Godless Communist Chinese for cheaply made Walmart goods...
We have been lyed into spending over half of our wealth on militarism...
We have been sold on ignoring Peak Oil and Global Climate Change in favore of faith based armageddonist SUV driving...
We have been scared by scarey commercials about men in turbans, and wolves in the woods to the reactionary gutting of our Constitutional rights...
So folks, are you going to believe these proven to be lying bastards when they begin to proceed to dismantle your Social Security?
Ben Bernacke and George W. Bush are carrying Great Big Scissors to cut holes in your safety nets!
The Republic is dying okay you don't care about that, but are you going to bring Granny in to sleep in your spare room, or leave her on the side of the road?

*The now-shit-canned "An Army of One" advertising campaign took on new meaning with Bush's War, didn't it, when it became the blood price of conquest.
IU've marvelled at how the Righties seem to revel in ironic language... Federalist Society is exquisite, Crusade and Islamo-fascism, the short lived Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) changed to OIF, the code talking to the militant Christian Right, the litany of anti-environmental program names Blue Skies and Healthy Forests Initiatives, the evil No Child Left Behind... Is there a complete list online of this endless Luntz-speak I wonder?
