Six Thousand Toops - for another lie

Nationalism + flag waving = democracy waiving = Fascism.

This son of a bitch lied to the world about Iraq. Now, that battered country is an absolutely disgusting mess - quite simply because Iraqis don’t give a damn about democracy. They like it even less because, when America isn't shoving our brand of freedom down their throats they are booting it up their asses - Toby Keith Style. It makes no sense at all; we are going to kill them, bomb them and generally offer them even less stability than their previous despot did. Yes, I'd say our battle for their hearts and minds is going swimmingly. Daily they bury their dead and daily, we are there to remind them just why they are dying in staggering numbers - daily.

Now, George Bush - this champion of militant democracy - makes his move to manipulate the American public because his approval ratings are at an all time low with no end in sight; he declares war on Mexico with his immigration pandering paranoia. His appeals offer comfort only to xenophobic morons who know their time is just about up. History will mark this administration as the one who perfected McCarthy-esque tactics of fear and nationalism to serve their own agenda.

Just in case any of you are missing this because of all the hand-wringing and flag waving, here's a quick run down on the plan; Dubya is locking down America's southern border in preparation for his upcoming attack on Iran for her recently notched up and defiant nuclear ambitions. Our lame-duck president is hoping that by committing six thousand National Guardsmen to patrolling the US-Mexico Border, he might be able to thwart Iran's suicide bombers invasion of the US from Mexico - ostensibly because those Iranians - and all middle easterners happen to look like the brown-skinned Mexicans. Hell, all non-northern European types look alike.

Bush and Company are taking Iranian threats of making good on promises to bring their Jihad to America when Iran is finally attacked - never mind the only documented incursion by a terrorist caught at a border came through Canada when makeshift explosives were discovered in the trunk of his car by a Border Patrol Agent. Canadians apparently don't look brown enough to cause concern.

I cannot believe just how stupid the average American is. They are so easily succumb to fear-mongering and and then rallied by patriotic themes. Twelve years of formal education and still so easily manipulated – never mind the dopes who are college educated and falling for the crap that passes for democracy these days - domestic wire-tpping, the Patriot Acts I & II and the outright erosion of the democratic process. How can a nation founded on democracy be so easily duped by fascist themes? Was World War II history completely skipped for an entire generation? I agree with Dubya - Ameircan education has been dumbed down.

Currently, as petroleum prices are constantly increasing – those who are marketing fuel are posting record profits and no one seems to be appalled. Thanks to the American invasion of Iraq, the mid-east is fast becoming even more unstable and this causes speculators to artificially drive up the prices even more. Meanwhile, our once vaunted ‘savior,’ Bush #2 constntly seeking to curry favor from wealthy, conservative business class who has exploited the nations that are now bristling as they awaken to the historical realization of just how badly their people were screwed in the past by American businessmen. I think, if I were a member of any other country, I would be pretty God damned pissed at that kind revelation as well.

Brown skinned people especially of the current Islamic variety hate us for a reason and, while the majority of hard working Americans are not at all like the ‘evil doer’ business interests who have historically emanated from our shores and wreaked havoc as they searched abroad for ways to make a buck. But, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis, Cubans, so many other Latin Americans - and we ought not forget the Asians - do not make any distinctions between working class Americans and their big business overlords.

They understandably hate all that is red, white and blue. How unfortunate that they know even less about our history than we do because, if they did, they would realize that the garden variety American has suffered much the same fate as they have - quite simply put, big business doesn't give a rat's ass about the little guy.

Hopefully the American people will make the connection between Republicans and the high price of gas. Americans may be ignorant of their history but they are intelligent enough to realize that the more they spend on fuel, the less they spend on everything else.

None the less, they most likely will have to reach such conclusions on their own. It is evident that the spineless Democrats currently in Congress are no match for the sinister neo-conservatives who drape themselves in the American flag and play the patriotic game of chicken as good as any Nazi Fascists that ever existed.

I hope this lying, deceptive asshole who now sits at the helm of America's government - I hope that he and his cronies - run out of time before they have the opportunity to do something as stupid as alienate yet another Islamic country into raining down its collective hatred on America - yet again. Hopefully, the democratic process hasn't been so altered that it cannot withstand this onslaught from within. Hopefully we can vote the oligarchic bastards out.
