BUSH TALIBAN supports "Axis of Repression"

Recently Alternet [ http://www.alternet.org/ ] explained how
Bush's fundi "Christian Taliban"
twists federal health policy to fit sectarian theological dogmas.
For details, please see:
"The Christian Taliban," by Stephen Pizzo,  28 March 2004
[ http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=18259 ]


At international meetings, this Bush Taliban has enrolled the USA as a member
of the Vatican-Muslim "Axis of Repression", to fight against human rights and health.

This far-right U.S. stance at world forums, since January 2001, contrasts markedly with
moderate U.S. views expressed during the Clinton era.

When Bill was President, I whined about his snail-slow progress toward equal rights for queers.
But now, after almost four painful years of this new century, in a world bullied by
"the evil B twins" (bright Beelzebub Bin Laden and brain-bereft Bubba Bush),
I'd give my left arm for a third Bill Clinton term.
