Networks Give Bush Free Air Time To Distribute Pro War Propaganda and more Mindless Bullshit
Hicksville Air Base, Virginia. President Bush was given free reign and air time from all the major television networks to deliver a speech which did nothing to inform Americans, but was simply a vehicle for propaganda to slow the decline of unfavorable opinion polls. Despite mass ignorance and stupidity an amazing 60% of Americans finally understand that the Iraq war was the biggest waste of life and limb and the largest money pit since the Vietnam War. Never tired of losing, President Bush again declared his open ended, idiotic determination to “stay as long as we have to and not a day longer.”
Never mind that just last week a car bomb exploded next to a truck load of American service women. The death toll remains undetermined because authorities are still matching body parts to individuals. Nevertheless, Bush boldly told Americans to show support for the troops by supporting the losing war effort, rather than supporting the troops by demanding that they be brought home safely, immediately, still breathing and with all the limbs they went to war with.
As America prepares to celebrate its 229th birthday, we should pause and reflect on the global hegemony, imperialism, torture and false inprisonment scandals, civillian deaths, Gitmo, 1,700 U.S. soldier deaths and 12,000 wounded, total devastation, destabilization and anarachy we have visited upon Iraq. We should also reflect on the bottomless national debt, attempts to privatize social security, eliminate health care for the elderly and indigent, promote religion over reason, rollbacks of free speech, civil rights, human rights and property rights as journalists are jailed for withholding sources and the media gives the Bush administration carte blanche to say whatever it wants. One wonders if the United Snakes of Assholedom will have another 229 more birthdays ahead of it given the tendency of our government to support policies of mindless homicide, mayhem and economic destruction.
Hats off to Old Glory!
