5. My perspective…I did read this long post…

First, you are right – it is our fault. We are complacent in our lives. And some of us are indeed arrogant, ignorant, and selfish.

But many of us are just trying to survive. How many of us work are tails off to simply put food on our table, care for the children, and to pay the rent/mortgage? Home many of us have time to protest and write letters to the editor and our representatives, to voice out in opposition to this ‘over-throw’ of our democracy?

The idiot they call pResident is *not* out to save us. The main goal of this barbarian is to 1) loot the US Treasury, 2) plunge us into the abyss of dept, 3) be hated throughout the world, 4) purposely ruin our environment and actually make it toxic, 5) purposefully make our children less educated (by the way, education is the foundation of a true democracy), 6) migrate our jobs and economy offshore, 7) insure that Americas have no health care, and 8) generally reduce America to ashes.

This amongst other things is George W. Bush’s (and family) agenda for the United States of America.

You have pointed out some interesting ideas about euros, oil, foreign leaders and their motives, and that, yes, some Americans are more interested in the next play of Monday night football.

But hear me out now. I believe Americans are indeed up to the task of securing America no matter what it takes. We are capable of digging in and weathering any storm that hits us. And, we are intelligent to see the forest through the trees. (Sorry for the clichés – I guess I need to read more myself).

My main point is this: there are *always* better ways to accomplish a goal. This administration, and, it seems, most Republicans, fail to think through the problems and, instead, resort to the violent, less educated, and less elegant solutions.

At some point in time – true Americans, true patriots of the United States of America, will kick the living bull shit out of *anybody* fucking with our country. It is only a matter of time…

Side note: a prediction – if America survives the ‘worst president’ America has ever had, the entire Bush family will be living in Saudi Arabia.
