POLITICS - Much Ado, About Bush

In the essay by Ken Grandlund, "Much Ado About Many Things" he states:

Yet with so much in my favor, with so much good fortune on my side, why is it that I am so angry at what our country is becoming; at what it has become? This is a question posed often in various ways by conservative commenters and writers who fail to see not only what is changing in America, but also how it is that we got to be so advantaged in the first place.


Just one of the many questions posed by conservatives and his answer.....


Why do you hate America?” Why haven’t you been listening? Really listening. Just as no one is perfect, neither is America. Yet in normal times, it is her imperfection that gives her charm and strength. But in times of duress, which is what we entered when planes were used as cruise missles and our government decided to go all squishy while the POTUS had one to many Napoleonic dreams, we can not simply sit back and marvel at our own good fortune. For as government becomes more and more separated from the people, our individual good fortunes will eventually falter. Our collective good times will end if this path is not altered. If you really love America, you wouldn’t sit by and idly accept every lame excuse from the mouths of liars. You wouldn’t profess admiration or fealty to men and women who discard our most important secular documents of all. If you really love America you’d be right here beside me too.


You should read the full essay to appreciate view in full.

I, of course, am in agreement. His Highness, G.W. Bush does have a Napoleonic complex. His slip during his 2000 campaign, that things would be easier if he were a dictator, was a flash into the deepest recesses of G.W. Bush's mind. And then there's the ultra-right-conservatives are whole hearted members of his army. An army set to remake America into their image and to hell with the rest of us.
