"Dis(s)in' the G.O. P." (T-shirt Slogan Edition)

In April of 2007 at least 99 U.S. soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq so far and approximately 3,346 total fatal casualties have happened to U.S. families of our soldiers in the Iraq war. In spite of this fact, Republican U.S. congressmen overwhelmingly support George Dubya Bush like Yes men supporting Captain Ahab's singular pursuit of the White Whale. Anyway, the Republicans who hamper the ending of this seemingly endless war have apparently learned nothing from the results of the last congressional election, which put the Democrats in control of both Houses of Congress. On a lghter note, I just came across a catalogue chock full of anti-Bush and anti-Republican T-shirt and bumper sticker slogans. I'll share some of those with you including several of my own.
"United We Stand... Against George Dubya Bush & Co." " One Nation Under Fraud. With Liberty & Justice For None." [Includes a Grp. Photograph of Bush/Cheney/ Condie (Rice)/Donald Rumsfeld/ Paul Wolfowitz and perhaps such shills as Rush Limburger, Shawn Hannity & Ann(e) Coulter.
"G.O.P. = Greedy Old Pigs"; "Bill of Rights: 1791-2001 Slain By the PATRIOT ACT, Rest in Pieces" ; "War, What Is It Good For? [" Rewrites History, Creates a Diversion, Eliminates Surplus Labor, Feeds Arms Industry, Degrades the Environment, Increases Budget Deficit, Maximizes Fear & Control, Erodes Personal Freedom, Wastes Resources, Spreads Famine & Death...] ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"
"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people... it is true that most stupid people are conservative." -- John Stuart Mill
"Bush/Cheney '08: "Jail To The Chief" ; "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." -- Josef Stalin (and Florida's G.W. Bush 2000 Preidential campaign)
Front: "I made it clear to the world, that either you're with us or you're with the enemy. -- Pres. George W. Bush Back: "ENEMY"
"VOTE REPUBLICAN: Eat Tainted Meat, Breathe Poison Air, Drink Nasty Water, Help Only Yourself" [Believe all the Lies...]
"One Nation Under Surveillance" . That's all for now.

The Religious Wrong

A few days ago there was a report in Afghanistan that a Talibani 12 year old boy beheaded a perceived traitor or 'infidel' to the cause. Apparently, this child was brainwashed from an early age that any infidel or enemy of the Taliban is worthy of a brutal and ruthless death. This child hacked away at the so-called traitor or infidel's neck with a knife until the man was decapitated. In case you didn't know, the Taliban are a sect of Moslems who it seems are the epitomy of unquestioning intolerance. They want women to be "always subservient and subordinate, but never inferior", by being forbidden to travel out of their home on their own, forbidden to speak unless spoken to, forbidden to work outside the home, and most important, forbidden to be in any way educated. If a woman in Taliban- controlled society dares to not conform to these unjust and misogynistic rules they can be stoned to death or murdered, with no recourse. The Taliban were in charge in Afghanistan and even gave refuge to that hateful hypocrite Osama Bin Laden, but soon after September 11, 2001 we invaded Afghanistan and ousted the Taliban from power.
Meanwhile, in this country, the so-called "Religious Right" or "Christian Right" has been trying to impose their own brand of intolerance on nonbelievers in this country. These Harper Valley Hypocrites, or as I like to call them, "the Religious Wrong", preach "Do Unto Others", "Love Thy Neighbor", "What Would Jesus Do", and several other quaint adages, while showing hatred or contempt for anyone who dares to question, deviate, live or think for themselves, rather than to blindly follow Organized Crime and Religion. If God tolerates such spokesmen as the slimy Pat Robertson and the sleazy Jerry Falwell, among others, perhaps such a God is not worth following. In fact, I suspect many of these Biblethumpers are really working for the Other Guy, if you know what I mean. It is a real shame that the "Religious Wrong" have so much political influence these days, but hopefully when Bush is gone from politics their power will wane. If these Holier Than Thou people would support George Dubya Bush's Morally and Intellectually Bankrupt policies and agenda solely because he is anti-choice and anti-gay, then they deserve their nation to be ruined, not the rest of us. On the other hand, if not for G.D. gay marriage, perhaps John Kerry would have defeated Bush in 2004 and we wouldn't have suffered in so many ways from Bush's unapologetic pernicious policies and insidious agenda.

Hypocricy In Dubya's Own Words

A few days ago was to far the most brazen insurgent attack in Iraq. A man dressed in a business suit detonated a bomb in the Iraqi Parliament's cafeteria. Needless to say, there were many casualties. George Dubya Bush's response to this tragic situation was as follows: [somewhat paraphrased] "Those who are willing to kill innocent life are also willing to kill innocent Americans." As they say, who's the ink calling the kettle black? George Dubya Bush's unapologetic lie(s) resulted in a war in Iraq. So far, at least 3200 "innocent American" soldiers are dead and thousands more are physically maimed or mentally afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the like. In addition, tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians are dead, maimed or have had their lives devastated in one way or another. Besides that, many of the so-called "Enemy Combatants" or suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay Prison, Abhu Grab in Iraq (or however it's called) and at secret "Renditions" prison facilities around the globe are completely innocent and are suffering physical, psychological and other abuse for no good reason. As they say, it is better for 100 guilty men to be free than for one innocent man to suffer. With the exception of course of El Presidente Bush and the Bleepin' Veep Cheney. They both act as if they can do whatever they want with impunity. Hopefully, their reign of terror will soon be coming to an end one way or another.
