Reply #38: That Gurgling Sound You Heard Was the US' Moral Authority [View All]

[Vogon_Glory]

That gurgling sound you heard a while back that sounded so much like an older-style flush-toilet was the US moral authority going down the drain.

After the Boosh regime took power here in the US and started making friends with various thuggish regimes around the world like Kyrgyzstan, the Sudan, and other goon states, then invaded Iraq, the US lost most of the moral capital left over from Franklin Roosevelt, then added to by James Earl Carter and William Jefferson Clinton.

The Rulin' Dubya Posse and its Banana Republican allies have not only declared class war from above here in the USA, but are turning the USA into a rogue state like such loathsome regimes as the thug-run Guatemala during the Reagan era, Papa Doc's Haiti, and Idi Amin's Uganda. Nobody except the brainwashed right seriously believes that the US still has the moral suasion that it had even as late as January 19th, 2001.

I make no bones about my belief that Fidel Castro is indeed a dictator whose policies continue to hamstring the Cuban economy and prevent the Cuban people from enjoying a more prosperous future without the sort of US meddling that occurred from 1898 to 1959. But the US has lost its power of moral suasion in the Caribbean and elsewhere in the Americas by its actions elsewhere in the world.

Nobody should be surprised by that letter. that's Generalissimo Gee Dubya's chickens coming home to roost.
