Ok, so normally I don't use livejournal for political rants... for me, it's usually just a place to put random musings and funny happenings... but today, I was flipping through the TV and stumbled onto Bush giving a speech at Kansas State University. Normally, I would've just kept on going, but today something made me stay on that channel and watch... Maybe it was his inability to form a coherent thought, maybe it was the random jumble of mispronounced words he used to form what he thinks is a sentence, or maybe it was the fact that he was stuttering around like he had been drinking since 6am and acting like no president has ever acted before; he seriously acts like he has no idea how a president is supposed to act, so he just acts like a drunken fratboy... Anyway, so I decided to watch some of him and he was trying to justify why wiretapping without a warrant should be legal and constitutional... (which it's not by the way)... Anyway, of course he used terrorism to justify the whole thing... His entire rhetoric was based on fear: "Someone will attack the American people," "the American people need to be safe in case of an attack," "I'm trying to protect the American people." ----> NEWSFLASH TO BUSH: the people who are attacking us aren't doing so because they inherently hate the American people... they're doing so because they hate you and YOUR policies. If you want to change something... start there! It just really pissed me off; not only because he uses that to justify his dumbass policies, but the American people buy into it. I swear to god, if we make it through the next few years without Bush destroying the country those who voted for him should seriously be thankful because it would be you ignorant, dumbass, closed-minded people who would be to blame....
And nobody else!
