This is a rant ... but all I say can be confirmed.
Others will be more objective, or continue to bury their heads in the warm Republican sand. Others will see other things that I have omitted, or perceive those I mention in a similar manner - but with different perspectives of their real affect on ... anything.
1) America now accepts that pre-emptive war (as long as they are the pre-emptors) is acceptable.
2) America now accepts torture as an acceptable device to force a confession from a suspect (not as though we haven't always allowed it - keep someone awake for 48 hours and I guarantee you they will confess to killing Kennedy - Lincoln for that matter).
3) the disallowance of "habeaus corpus" (sp) - we no longer allow the idea that a suspect is innocent; that even if they are that they have rights, and we are more intent (especially if they are innocent) to prove their guilt - than if they had actually done something. Boy/ Ain't we a great country?
4) Our new And improved disfunctional congress. It is almost as if they all have something to lose against a President with a 32% approval rating. What could that possibly be? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The Dems never looked so weak, I mean they talk the talk ... but they ain't got no walk ---- after all they are a club owned by the same entity. Y'all know?
5) It is now permissable for an administration to hand out "non-bid" contracts"
- unless of course the other party owns one or both houses of congress - in which case they must share the profits.
6) The acceptance of "gerrymandering" by the partys' has allowed that we now have a "99%" recidevism, I mean re-election rate for incumbents. Talk about a deal. Imagine, we now live under a one party system - but, those in power allow us the dellusion that we still have choices. What a great bunch a guys - don't ya think?
7) $8.33 Trillion dollar debt (er, deficit .... like it is cool to spend 3X what one earns a year .... well, actually if a corporation contributes a significant amount through the proper channels ...... even if the CEO and other officers are caught - Bush guarantees Presidential pardons. Believe me - no one is going to jail under his watch (besides Martha that is).
8) Create a war to prove you are better than your Dad - whom once called you an ungreatful piece of flom - and win a war with 1/5 the men he did. Then ignore all his advice and those of other presidents on how to secure the area being raped by ... anyone that had (s) a mind to.
9) Create a new language to define the mistakes as being successes ... "Mission accomplished" (while women, museums, 60,000 tons of munitions, etc. - are being raped). Be inventive - always attack, especially when you are wrong.
Bewware world! We nows gots us a news America - and we never does anything wrongs. After all "Might is right".
