do you ever get the feeling that 50% of the population of the u.s belong to a cult?
i kind of feel as if we, the other 50%, need to take the right-wing in america and run an intervention with them.
maybe we could take all 50% of the american population who still believe in the presidency of george bush and pull them into a hotel room and say:
‘he lied to you. gw bush lied to you.
pathologically.
he’s a sick man who lies and lies and lies. he lied about wmd’s in iraq, he lied about enron being his largest campaign contributor, he lied about funding afghanistan pre-9/11, he lied about the saudi involvement in u.s foreign affairs, he lied about out-sourcing u.s jobs, he lied about not blocking the 9-11 investigations, etc.’
and we can take the 50% of americans who still believe in george bush and say ‘this isn’t about party politics.
this isn’t about democrats or republicans. this is about a small sect of rabid ideologues who have hijacked the u.s government for their deceitful, narrow, atavistic agenda.’
then we realize that ‘atavistic’ is a weird word that no one apart from me uses.
so we simplify it: ‘gw bush and his administration have lied to you. they’ve lied and lied and lied and lied. over and over again. they are sick and deceitful and corrupt people and they’re not republicans, they’re not democrats, they’re just dishonest and immoral and corrupt weirdos and we all need to reject them and move on(no pun intended).’
it’s so odd when you speak to right wing denizens of america and say: ‘gw bush is a draft dodging, inept, puppet and he’s created the largest federal deficit in the history of the u.s and the largest federal government in the history of the u.s and he’s made america a target for hateful terrorists and he’s sold the u.s to oil companies and etc’
and they say: ‘no’.
what the hell are they thinking?
my request to right-wing america: go ahead, be right wing, be conservative, but wake the fuck up and admit that the bush administration have screwed up everything that they’ve touched.
this is a disaster and it has nothing to do with right or left wing.
it has nothing to do with liberal or conservative.
we all need to come together and make america sane and responsible.
america under gw bush has lost its mind.
