Bush's America

Hello all :)

I am truly sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have many excuses, but that's what they are...just excuses. Let's just say it is hard to follow the decline of my country and have so little I can really do about it.

That being said, I am trying to make a better effort to come post my thoughts and findings. I have recently begun a new program at school and am still unsure of the amount of time I'm looking at spending on that aspect of my life atm.

Beyond that, there hasn't been much to comment on at all in the news lately (what with celebrity bimbos dying and sports talk personalities illustrating that they are unintelligent leeches on society). However, while all that was un-happening (that's really what these things are un-happenings) some real shit was going down. Bush appointed his latest list of crimi...lobbyi...frien...suppo.... umm people to Federal jobs. We got a shiny new ambassador to Belgium! Just goes to show what money can buy....a few well timed lies on national tv and BAM Belgium here I come! That's not all we got though is it? Nope we got an anti-social security "activist" placed as social security deputy commisioner too WOOHOO!

Bush is consistant to say the least. He has appointed lobbyists to the offices they formerly lobbied. He appoints financial supporters. He appoints polluters to EPA, oil cronies to Dept. of energy, corporate ag to USDA, and now an antisocsec to socsec.

That's just his appointments, not to mention his record against human rights and our citizen rights.

I am amazed people can STILL support Bush.

The only reasons I can come up with are complicity (making money off this circus) or idiocy (there may be an argument for lunacy but I don't want to slander any lunatics unfairly).

This should not even be a political discussion any longer. This should have become an issue of patriotism long ago. My grandfather and father both fought for this country. They enlisted to protect the American ideals - our freedoms, our rights, and our way of life. They would both be appalled by what has become of this country. Not so surprised about what the politicians have made of the country as they would be surprised that the people have let it come to this.

I believe those rights and freedoms to be the KEY to our way of life. Without the key all of us are locked out of our country. All of us.

In Bush's America ONLY the president and his financial supporters are protected from the law. Your legal protections have all been denied.

In Bush's America ONLY the president has the right to free speech...and his is absolute freedom. No one is allowed to question his word.

In Bush's America ONLY the president is allowed to have his personal communications exempted from oversight. The government can and does go through the personal private communications of the citizenry without any protections afforded the citizen. However, the president's communications - even when in direct conflict with the law - must always be privileged.

This is just the tip of the iceberg too...
Sounds like a GREAT place to live....if you’re the president.

It's time American's fought for their country back. We have left the thieves in charge of the treasury for far to long. American's need to stop being so lazy and complacant. We need to speak out, write letters, boycott products and companies, stop watching and supporting un-american propaganda channels, get together in LARGE numbers and refuse the freedom of speech zones, support alternative media outlets, get involved, write to your reps and senators for both state and federal, write to judges hearing important cases, write to advertisers of inappropriate programming (Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Pat Robertson, etc.) THEN follow through and boycott if they continue to support said programming THEN follow through with that and write back to the boycottee illustrating the moneys they lost. MONEY TALKS! These are only a handful of ways to help. Find ways you can help to make this country the place it should be.
