George Bush- One Dead American for Every Day in Office |
|
Bush, who is now in the fifth year of his presidency, has served 1,727 days in office. With the death toll in Iraq currently at 1,873 servicemen, Bush can now boast that at least one American has died for every day he’s been in office, a sobering tribute to a man who wants to be remembered as “a war president.”

2. But that's just counting soldiers |
|
Not workers who lost jobs and insurance or medicaid...
Not counting those who will die from rollbacks of health, environmental and safety standards
Not counting civilians in Iraq or Afghanistan...
Not counting the spirit of America

5. You definitely got that right |

With the various policies, bombings, Black Ops, etc. it's in the few hundred thousand.
More?
Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism... Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all others.
