A Bad Man
The Bush Administration is finally getting theirs.
The press seems to have their backbone again and we now have ample and obvious evidence that the Bush Administration not only lied to justify the war in Iraq, but that it willfully broke the law in doing so. Rove is probably going to be indicted. Libby has already been indicted.
Why has this taken two years to figure out? Why do we have an independent prosecutor in place to find out what a simple question from the man in charge could have answered? Why didn’t the President just call in his staff and say, “Okay, people, who did this?”
He never did that because he has known all along.
- He was planning on invading Iraq before 9/11 and he lied to the citizens of the US and to the people of the world about the reasons for doing so. (And this ridiculous bull about “We’ll fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here” is quite obviously a lie; the terror attacks on London and Madrid prove this. We have only served to add fuel to the fire with the war in Iraq.)
- He’s responsible for the deaths of over 2,000 American soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
- He kowtows to the Religious Right and their attempts to shove Christian fundamentalism down all of our throats, and yet he says that Muslim fundamentalists are bad.
- He taxes the poor and gives to the rich and the corporations.
- He took money from New Orleans and various other domestic programs and put it towards the war in Iraq, and destroyed a city in the process (as the Catholics say, this was a sin of omission, not a sin of commission, but it leaves him no less culpable).
- He sold out America’s seniors to the pharmaceutical companies.
- He sold out America’s youth for no apparent reason whatsoever.
- He has rolled back the advancement of science with absurd positions on stem cell research and intelligent design.
- He has trounced civil rights in the name of “protecting” America.
- He has trampled gay rights and rolled back decades of progress that we’ve made.
The list goes on. Fill in some more things, if you’d like.
I honestly try to see the good in everybody, but I have a hard time doing it with this man. I fail to see one truly good thing he has done for me personally or for anybody else except the rich and powerful. He lies through his teeth and people die as a result. All I see is evil. I don’t mean meanness or spitefulness or anything weak like that — I mean real evil, real wrongdoing done by choice and scheme.
George Bush is just a very bad man.
