- When informed members of the American public, namely
those who get their information in terms of accurate, truthful news and
opinion from an Internet alternative media source websites, they quickly
realize the truth of Lord Acton's assertion that power corrupts. And along
with the public's sensing of such unlimited, unbridled power on the part
of an elected politician and government official, a justified sense of
loathing and contempt develops in the minds of the electorate such that
any repeated facial expressions, manner of gesticulation, repeated phrases
in speeches and such, are sure to incite a higher level of contempt for
such idiosyncrasies than the official's deeds and crimes are thought to
generate.
-
- Take for example Bush's beguiling, insidious smirk.
It can be ascribed as the doofus expression of a truly stupid and uneducated
moron, and is easily superimposed upon the visage of a chimpanzee, monkey
or the cartoon personage of Alfred E. Newman. CAD-enhanced photo manipulation
has indeed been used to render the Bush smirk upon the face of the flying
monkey leader of the Wicked Witch of the West's flying attack and rendition
squad in the "Wizard of Oz." It is astonishing that that monkey
mask fits the Bush smirk to a tee!
-
- As evidence exposing the 9/11 inside job pulled of by
the Bush regime, the lies in Bush's State of the Union Address asserting
Saddam was about to unleash a nuclear attack upon US, his obstruction of
justice within his own Department of Justice, and all his other crimes
too numerous to list are increasingly recognized, curiosity as to whether
he possesses the level of intelligence necessary to pull off such multiple,
major criminal acts, or whether he is merely a figurehead taking direct
orders from AIPAC and Cheney, give way to simple hatred of his very existence.
He's extremely anti-American and anti-freedom. Every one of his idiosyncratic
traits triggers revulsion so great that the reason for such contempt is
no longer a consideration; it evokes an immediate loathing and contempt
for his very existence. For all purposes and intents, it constitutes a
"hate crime."
-
- Tripping on his words is no longer deemed humorous, but
generates in one a feeling of contempt and hatred based upon the observation
that such a stupid and treasonous doofus is not only our president, but
now our dictator! The sound of his voice alone inspires contempt. His
bouncy walk as enshrined in our memory on the flight deck of the Abraham
Lincoln when he approached the podium, smirked, and then proclaimed victory
in Iraq, will forever be brought back into focus whenever and wherever
he makes his grand entrance. The way he walks, talks, smirks, as well
as his $500 blue and red ties piss me off, as it does a lot of other folks.
For Bushwhacking America and stabbing US all in the back, this traitor
should not be immune to the rule of law of our land.
-
- And then there is his immediate guiding guru in the personage
of his Rasputin-Svengali tutor and chief handler, Dick [rhymes with?] Cheney.
Now there's a rather nasty looking traitor and professional felon. Can
you picture his nasty face and that trademark grimace? I just know you
can! Doesn't it totally drive you right up the wall when this lying s.o.s.
continues to insult our collective intelligence with his oft-repeated lies
attempting to tie Saddam into the 9/11 attack that he oversaw and supervised?
-
- Then we put our collective public faith in a remedial
program by giving a resounding public mandate to congressional Democrats
in the recent November midterm elections. We had hoped,those of US who
know the horrific extent and seriousness of the Bush regime's crimes, that
Democrats led by first-time Madam Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Nancy Pelosi, would lead the publicly desired charge on behalf of informed
Americans to rid our nation of the worst criminal dictatorship in its brief
history.
-
- But Pelosi has shown anything but leadership. She has,
instead, shown precisely the same subservience to AIPAC as have all our
elected politicians in Congress save for Congressmen Ron Paul, former Congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney, and possibly Senators Russ Feingold and Chuck Hagel.
Pelosi's idiosyncratic annoyance is her stare resembling that of a deer
terrified into immobility by the headlights of an oncoming car. She was
elated when becoming the first female speaker of the House, but has since
fizzled focusing on gender victory rather than the substance of real, meaningful
progress in the direction the American people wanted.
-
- Our politicians and representatives are ignoring US.
Not even cursory examinations and basic investigations into the vast and
limitless area of Bush criminal activities are being undertaken. It seems
that all the Democrats want to do is give Bush time to do as he well pleases
and then help and allow him to get out of Dodge unscathed by legal procedures.
This showing of contempt and disregard for the American people by both
chambers of Congress as well as by both political parties and both sides
of the congressional aisles, is becoming more than just annoying; it is
breeding contempt and hatred for both our elected officials and all levels
of American government. Government arrogance is definitely on the rise,
and a reciprocating contempt for it by We the People is being fomented.
-
- Take the farcical "hate crimes" legislative
posture of New Jersey, as well as the Don Imus debacle based at Rutgers
University in New Brunswick. Most people who don't like the Don Imus show
simply do as I do and avoid it. There is neither need for legislation
or for CBS to have fired him. But our mass media are virtually starving
for headlines because they are more motivated to suppress real news than
to report it. Senator Hillary was heading for Rutgers, and may well have
been asked to participate in the meeting between Imus and the Rutgers girls'
basketball team. If anyone needs to explain herself and to come clean
on shady politics, it's Hillary [aka The Hillaroid]. Her arrogance is
legendary.
-
- Also racing to the scene of the Don Imus lynching at
Rutgers, was New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, in a citizen-purchased state
vehicle: a Chevrolet Suburban SUV. Got that? Aren't SUVs the talking
points of both liberal and conservative, energy-focused, and tax hungry
politicians, especially a huge Chevy Suburban? Haven't SUVs been identified
by Gee Bush as the primary reason why he and his corporate oil crook friends
are socking it to US at the gas pumps? Sorry, I went off the track!
-
- And so did Corzine's SUV. On the way to the Imus gig,
an apparently drunk driver of a red pick-up truck in the right lane of
the Garden State Parkway, at a point about five miles north of Atlantic
City, cut off another vehicle in the center lane, which in turn pulled
directly in front of Corzine's SUV. A crash resulted Corzine's vehicle
made an "L" turn straight into the steel guard rail. Corzine
was seriously injured, but our wondrous mass media and its newspaper mentality
wasn't about to tell US that, at least not right away.
-
- Corzine's injuries are very serious, yet his chief of
staff indicated he'll be back at work in a week. Nonsense! He was
almost killed, and he's certainly not anywhere yet out of danger. I don't
like politicians, no matter what their party or agenda. They are supposed
to represent US and don't. They do not follow the rule of law. They seek
only to impose their made-as-you-go laws upon US. Governor Corzine broke
the law. His "Click It or Ticket" campaign will be launched
once again next month. As the slogan indicates, failing to buckle your
seat belt can result in a ticket if a cop spots you breaking the state's
law.
-
- Corzine wasn't wearing a seat belt, pure and simple.
It is believed that the state trooper and driver asked him to buckle up.
The media had a real bad time with that one, prefacing that fact with
such caveats as "appeared not to have," or the reliable deflector,
"it is alleged that." Why is this so complicated? Was he or
was he not wearing a seatbelt which he so fervently requires of US, his
subjects? His arrogance has hurt him badly, and I am certain that the
arrogance of all politicians will lead to an irreversible distrust of both
politicians and government officials, which will hurt them badly as well.
-
- And that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it was this
hatred and distrust of arrogant, authoritarian government that started
US off in the right direction of being the greatest and freest nation in
history. And we enjoyed this freedom until politicians and their arrogance
destroyed it. Can we ever hope to bring our nation and its freedoms back?
