The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
Look at every single activity they have touched.Our economy is a shambles because of the tax cuts.We are at war with a country that posed no threat at all to us.Religious nuts are setting the agenda for Science Education in our schools. Funding for the most exciting developments in Biological Sciences are being blocked and with it the possibility of preventing or findinga cure for some of the most intractable diseases that have plagued mankind.Discrimination in all its ugly forms is now becoming acceptable.Except of course discrmination against stupid rich frat boys.Health care for the old, the young and the disabled is a receding dream.Pensions for retired people are being decimated by corporations that are becoming bankrupt.Corporations, unable to compete with foreign competitors, are fleeing to India and China, leaving a large number of well qualified Americans unemployed.The same corporations seek tax cuts on the pretext of increasing their investments.Of course, they mean investments in India and China.


Every where I turn I see one calamity after another. My analogy to lunatics taking over the asylum does not seem farfetched to me.

But you forgot one thing: it's not only rich frat boys that are exempt from discrimination. Religious fanatics are too.

3. And ICRC, AI, HRW &UN list us as human rights abusers & torturers
The entire world views us with dislike, loathing, disgust, revulsion. We're seen as immoral, hypocritical, ignorant,...and war criminals. "Dirty filthy animals".

We're FAR LESS SAFE now, as every intell agency and think-tank, INCLUDING THE RIGHTWINGNUTTERY ones, have been warning for the past 2 years.

And altho the freeping rightwingnuts are SOOOO STUPID they don't yet know this, NOT ONE NATION on the entire fucking planet has a population that is pro-invasion of Iraq. NOT ONE. And there NEVER HAS BEEN.

Americans have pretty much dropped Abu Ghraib, and Gitmo, and the several other US torture gulags down the collective Memory Hole...but the WORLD HAS NOT.

Freeping rightwingnuts LAUGHED and MOCKED "Baghdad Bob"?????

HELLO IDIOTS! BUSH and his puppet CIA-hired terrorist Allawi say NO CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN FALLUJA.

WHO THE FUCK do you think they're trying to fool???? The IRAQIS??? Hell no! The Iraqis KNOW there are dead civilians all over the ground in Falluja.

The WORLD??? Hell no! The rest of the world has been seeing dead Falluja civilians on their nightly news,

YOU, freeping rightwingnuts. YOU are who they're trying to fool. And gee they sure don't have to try hard, do they, fcking MORANS.
