Life In George Bush's America

@ 09:15 PM (27 months, 17 days ago)

Just in time to give you nightmares as you prepare for bed, here's a glimpse into life in America, under the Bush Crime Team.

  • Idiot Son Bush wants to militarize our boarders by placing up to 6,000 National Guard troops at the boarders.  (I guess our nation's boarders will start to look like shoot-outs at the OK corral)

              Bush ordering up to 6,000 in Guard to border       

                  Bush calls for 6,000 troops along border

  • In what can only be described as an effort to intimidate members of the journalistic community, the Bush Crime Team has been tracking the telephone numbes that journalists call, supposedly in an effort to "root out confidential sources."  In other words, it was ok for the Bush Crime Team to leak information about Iraq to Judith Miller of the New York Times, so she could help carry the WMD water for them.  And it was OK for them to use journalists to help out a covert CIA operative with unofficial cover.  But in their view, it's not OK for journalists to report on secret CIA prisons in Europe.  A lot of people have been asking the question "are we there yet" in reguards to facism in America.  Now I unequivocally say: YES.                         

    Federal Source to ABC News: We Know Who You're Calling

  • And now we learn that Dick Cheney aka Darth Vader, served as the Administration's top advocate for circumventing the law in order that the Bush Crime Team might intercept purely domestic phone calls and emails without first obtaining a warrant.

          Cheney reportedly pushed for eavedropping without warrants   

This is our life in George Bush's America.  Facism.  Eavesdropping on ordinary Americans not accused or suspsected of any crime.  Intimidating the media.

To borrow a phrase from Edward R. Murrow, "good night, and good luck."

  1. Wow, you're one of the few people who actually knows and cites your stuff on American politics out of the last few bloghi blogs I've visited.
