from “Special” Correspondent T. S. deHaviland
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read “If you aren’t outraged, you haven’t been paying attention.”
Amen.
It’s amazing that, even after the rollback of the Constitution under the USA PATRIOT act, even after the memos suspending the human rights of “enemy combatants,” even after the withdrawal from ABM treaties and the International Criminal Court, even after waging war on false pretenses, even after the total failure to find Osama bib Laden, even after the tax cuts that enrich the wealthiest 1%, and after squandering a budget surplus and a return to deficit spending to support that cut, after the loss of 3 million jobs and the creation of 1.4 million more poor, even after the award of an $8 billion no-bid contract to the vice-president’s former company to rebuild the country we destroyed on false pretenses, even after the decimation of reasonable
environmental legislation and overtime rules – even after all that – there are still people who support George W. Bush, who think he’s a paragon of morality, who really think that he’s brought integrity back to the White House.
Maybe they think this because it’s hard to accept that we got took.
Because the whole nation got took – took like a Tijuana whore in the back of a broke-down Chevy van.
It’s hard to admit that we got duped by a dumb guy, even if he is a dumb guy with some very clever and very corrupt friends. It’s hard to admit we’re a nation bent over, grabbing our ankles, ass in the air, yelling “Thank you, sir! May I have another?!”
