June 21st, 2007 - Summer Solstice. Wish I had cheerful thoughts, but...
Here's a quote from the moron-in-chief, George W. Bush (this was plucked from an article in USA Today, so yes, the source is reliable-- he actually said this):
"Destroying human life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical, and it is not the only option before us," the president said.
Now, granted he was saying this while explaining why he vetoed the latest stem-cell bill a couple of days ago. But, for this stupid sonofabitch to even start talking about ethical behavior, and morality, and right and wrong... can this asshole understand English? Does he know what he's saying?! America's most incompetent strikes again.
Unethical to destroy human life in the hopes of saving it, huh? Okay, Mr President-- how the fuck do YOU EXPLAIN Iraq?
We HAD other options. And if we were going to act, we could have done a lot better. And let's take it from the good, "christian" point of view, Mr President-- it's not just the over 3500 Americans dead, and over 30000 Americans wounded... it's the tens of thousands of dead Iraqis (we probably have crossed the 100,000 mark by now, in fact). About the only excuse Mr Bush has left that might be true is that we're not as bad as Saddam (yet). But if that's what we have to go back to, that we're not as bad as Saddam or Al-Qaeda, we've already lost it on the world stage. So much for destroying human lives "in the hopes of saving human life".
Goes along with a bumper sticker I saw recently: "Pro-life and Pro-war? No thanks -- I'm anti-hypocrisy"
And Mr Bush's ideas of being moral, of ethical behavior.... Hmmm, I can see that in his administration: Dick, Scooter, Alberto, Don, Paul, Karl, Tony, Dana, Scott and the boys.... this administration makes Richard Nixon and his staff look like saints! Every fuckin' press release you can see the lies building on top of lies. Pissing on the Constitution and thumbing his nose at the people, and he gets away with it. So far, anyway-- because there's too many men and women in Congress (mostly Republicans) who don't have the balls, and who have no honor and no integrity whatsoever) who won't do their jobs-- who won't, in fact, undertake a very important responsibility of their jobs-- holding the President and Vice President accountable when they commit 'high crimes and misdemeanors' (I think that thresh-hold was reached a long time ago)-- too many honorless, integrity-free Senators and Congressmen who won't step up and impeach these bastards.
America is well and truly fucked... and the sheep who elected this sonofabitch, and who elected (and re-elected) the worthless sacks of shit in Congress who won't do their jobs, keep letting it happen. All of you who were a party to this... step up and look at you've done to the United States of America. If you voted for him, you ARE partially responsible.
