I fear George Bush more than I do bin Laden.

Who could of imagined back in 2000 that our nation would decend so far down the “fascist” and “radical Evengelical” rabbit hole in such a short period of time? The extremity and vitriol in which our nation has changed since the sElection of George W. Bush as President six years ago this December is shocking. Racism and intolerance… both religious and cultural… has permiated our daily lives like disgusting pit stains on a favorite T-shirt. If someone had told me back in 2000 that if George Bush became President, we would: invade another country in an unprovoked war, inter prisoners in concentration camps, and be debating whether or not torture was an acceptable interrogation technique or if warrantless searches of our homes and phone calls was indeed illegal, I’d of thought they were nuts.

On Thursday (9/28), the Senate approved a bill already passed by the House that allows the President to arrest, detain, and deny both Council and the right of Habeas Corpus (”Body of the Crime”, a list of the charges against you) against, not only foreigners, but anyone who “purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States”… which could quite literally be ANYBODY this Administration deems a threat: U.S. citizens, “political enemies”, “protestors”, “legal council” for any terror suspect, you name it. And you can’t do a thing about it because there will be no trial, you will not be informed of the charges against you, and no lawyer will take your case because assisting you would make them subject to the “supporter of anyone who supports hostilities” language. Likewise, your family would not be told where you were. You could quite litterally “disappear”… something we thought only happened in the old Soviet Union and Red China.

All bin Laden did was murder 3,000 people. George Bush is out to destroy the United States, the Constitution, and everything we’ve stood for for 230 years… which ironically is what Osama’s wanted when he attacked the Trade Center on 9/11. President Bush, a paranoid xenophobe skillfully manipulated by a power-mad Svengali holdover of the Nixon Administration, actively subverting the Constitution and seeking more and more power that could be used against his political enemies, with only their word that they’d never use that power against us.

Nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or The Constitution did the Founding Fathers say “Trust Me“. In fact, the very bedrock of our democracy… “Checks & Balances”… belies the very idea of “trust the government”. If anyone knew about the abuse of power by a corrupt ruler, it was them. That is why they worked so hard to make sure no “one” branch of government had more power than any other.

So steeped in denial, so completely incapable of admitting mistakes that they would rather allow the deaths of several thousand coalition soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians rather than admit a mistake… all because they perceive it as a sign of weakness and an attack on their manhood (and you may have noticed how the most sexualy repressed, yet conspicuously vocal about “devient behavior” are so often Conservatives: i.e. “Mark Foley“, a vocal anti-child porn advocate that resigned Friday after it was discovered that he was sending sexually explicit e-mails to 16-year old male Page’s.

Remember President Bush’s classic “Fool me once… can’t get fooled again” flub? This is a PERFECT example of his utter paranoia over even the slightest suggestion that he could make a mistake (remember that the line is supposed to end with “shame on me“. The very idea of such a line never even occured to him. He blocked it out).

I have no doubt that these people truly believe that they are doing what is in the best interest of the country. But like an alcoholic that insists they “don’t have a problem”, they are SO desperately in need of an intervention. They see no hypocrisy when their actions completely contradict their rhethoric (justified by circumstances: does “everything changed after 9/11” sound familiar?) In this vain, I encourage you to view my latest YouTube video:

FLASHBACK: Bush’s 2000 RNC Convention promises.

The hypocrisy is palatable. Need more proof that these guys will say anything to get elected?
