Oh my God I feel so much safer. Don't you?
I mean, don't you feel so much more secure in your all-American gun-totin' oil-happy lifestyle now that we have wasted upward of $300 billion worth of your child's future education budget, along with 1,600 disposable young American lives and over 20,000 innocent Iraqi lives and about 10,000 severed American limbs and untold wads of our spiritual and moral currency, all to protect America from terrorism that is, by every account, only getting worse? Nastier? More nebulous? More anti-American?

Here's something funny, in a rip-your-patriotic-heart-out-and-spit-on-it sort of way: Just last week, BushCo's State Department decided to kill the publication of an annual report on international terrorism. Why? Well, because the government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985. Isn't that hilarious? Isn't that heartwarming? Your tax dollars at work, sweetheart.

Lest you forget, this is what they do. They trim. They edit. They censor. BushCo kills what they do not like and fudges negative data where they see fit and completely rewrites whatever the hell they want, and that includes bogus WMD reports and CIA investigations and dire environmental studies and scientific proofs about everything from evolution to abortion and pollution and clean air, right along with miserable unemployment data and all manner of research pointing up the ill health of the nation, the spirit, the world.

1. I posted the same thing earlier

It's sinking fast.Maybe not a lot of Morford fans here. The man is brilliant. Here's my post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3528457&mesg_id=3528457

2. Brilliant article - I agree

I can't believe Morford's columns aren't more popular in this forum. I often forward his articles to those like-minded and even those that are not, just to get a good dig in. Of course, in that case, I get no response.

This particular article is SO right-on.

3. Morford...

:kick:'s Ass

4. The absurdity of totalitarian life

It's in your face. Allocation of resources (most of which are pilfered from SS revenues) to promote plans of the moribund defense and energy lobbies.

5. good ole Morford

He says it like it is, tongue planted firmly in cheek.

6. If and when the corporations

finally control the good ol' USA completely, will they call in all their outstanding debt and use the debtors as a labor pool? Legally of course with the help of friendly judges. :mad: edit: BTW Morford thinks a lot like I do, I'll have to keep an eye out for his columns.
