The Election Is Over: Time To Cleanup The Santorum

by cleaning up the santorum
Random Rantings From Around The Web

Say howdy to the warmongering murderer who exploited the events of 9/11 to launch a cynical, oil-grabbing war in the Middle East.

Responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents in Iraq, this swaggering oaf's gung-ho antics has resulted in the world being a far more dangerous place.

And if that wasn't bad enough, he's threatened the future of the planet by dumping the Kyoto Treaty to reduce CO2 emissions ("it's bad for US business!") while presiding over the world's most wasteful nation and the planet's biggest polluter.

He's also the blundering halfwit who signed a law allowing gun owners to bring guns into church and made air pollution regulations voluntary rather than mandatory (making Texas the worst air polluter in the US).

Slap the fucker. Hard!

A First Look at U.S. Election 2004:
“Democracy” Rears Its Ugly Head

http://www.marxist.com/usa/US_elections_JP_041104.html

These are dark days in America, the darkest in recent memory for women's reproductive rights. Women across the country are shuddering in their bathrobes to hear Bush use the word "mandate" to describe his recent election victory. Just look at what he did when he so clearly didn't have a mandate, back in 2000. For the first time in recent history, Roe v Wade is seriously imperilled.

Here's how I would evaluate it: the nominee George W. Bush and his running mate Dick Cheney are the worst ticket put forward by a major US political party in at least 75 years, possibly the worst of all time.

I'm not alone in this opinion:

Award-winning Indian author Arundhati Roy could not hide her disbelief when she first learnt early Thursday that Bush had been re-elected.

Currently in Australia to receive the Sydney Peace Prize, she told reporters: ''It is difficult to see why the war was not a major election issue (in the United States.).''

''The sense that that kind of brutality is good, or at the very least acceptable and in the interests of people (in the United States), I suppose, is one of the biggest dilemmas that face the world today,'' she said.

"He's probably the least qualified person ever to be nominated by a major party... What is his accomplishment? That he's no longer an obnoxious drunk?"
-- Ronald Prescott Reagan on George Walker Bush

Come on, try to name any major Democratic or Republican president, vice president, or candidate for those offices who has any shortcoming or character flaw that Shrub isn't a match for. Just try.

THE END OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT

Day after--Bush stole the election again
Kerry crapped--an even my granny voted for him
Now we're finally on our own.
1000 American boys dead after--
Georgie on the carrier plane
No Osama bin Laden--
guerilla war in Iraq and spider hole Hussein
Unemployment rising--lost my job--you say lay off--
I say downsizing
The system looking sad-stock market crashing--
while I laugh Rich cats lose they cash--
time they learn to live the life that I have
Do you know how to make money-- from nothing?
Ever eat grits for dinner?
Or dried your drawls on the oven?

Just a day after the election--
adding it up and I'm bugging
What should I do--
if he stole this one, then I remember
He stole the last, attacked Iraq for no reason,
treason for September
We protest and you don't listen--
we're led by Christians, Its time to feel some heat--
me and 50 million of your youth--
hitting the streets

Direct action to show you what we mean--
oh these streets are so mean
The peeps are deep--
no more fear of your co-opting--soap opera
We build a fist--of comrades
representing vanguard self determinists
We learned our lesson--we were prepared
the day after the election
We didn't give him credit see,
now he done stole the presidency
Born again, drunken Georgie--
another four years
oh lordy lordy

I woke up, suffered through the news, and opened my email. This was the first message I read.

"Seriously.. I don't know who answers you guy's email, but do you think the coalitions that were working to get Bush out can overcome this shit? I feel fucking hopeless… i've been working with ACT and SEIU and canvassing and calling and blah blah blah... I can't believe we have lost to this psychopath again. I know Kerry sucked, but we have nothing... what is left?"

The short answer is, Yes, the coalitions, if they have a mind and heart to do so, can "overcome this shit." It is true that many people, even when they are united, can be defeated. We should not make believe it isn't so. But it is also true that many united people can win, and win again, and again. As to "what's left?" of course the answer is the true left is left, and if we have sufficient mind and heart we can make it grow until real victories are ours. I try to offer some parts of a longer answer below.

feel like I'm living through Ragnarok.

The Norse Armageddon tale is unique in that all of the participants, powerful gods in their own right, knew long in advance of their deaths yet still fought bleakly towards destiny, powerless to prevent it.

Like that war of yore, the battle lines in the American electorate were drawn long ago. The figurative Winter of Winters has fallen on the literal November 2nd, with Republicans and Democrats alike trudging toward mutually assured destruction.

How else do I explain the ferocity with which yesterday's election was fought, even with the outcome almost supernaturally pre-ordained? As someone who had no personal stake in either candidate but hoped for a Kerry victory, watching the precincts report in on television last night was a trial in and of itself. I cannot fathom how, with record voter turnout, this nation is throwing its weight behind the incumbent.

Millions upon millions of people worked hard for change this year. Even in the face of overwhelming media bias and complicity, I know more people aware of the Administration's malfeasance than I did a year ago. High crimes against humanity have been committed over the past four years. The indignation should have boiled over.

And yet it didn't. For like the unchangeable end prophesied throughout mythology, deep down I felt betrayed by my enthusiasm that Kerry stood a chance against the most corrupt President in history. And like Loki, who in one version of the story lay claim to a world ravaged, I have come unhinged from this reality as my world plummets into chaos.

Either I have gone mad or I live in a country literally overrun by idiots. Where else but the United States can the election map be painted Republican Red despite the record George W. Bush has set in his first term of office? The man lied to start a war. He has plunged this country into an unceasing atmosphere of fear and paranoia, taking some of our most guarded freedoms along with our safety.

It's fitting that Bush must clean up his own mess

Published November 4, 2004

Some of the letters I received Wednesday about the results of Tuesday's presidential election were exultant and rude: "Eat crow, you liberal loser!"

Some were distraught: "In the words of the philosopher Ed Grimley, `We're as doomed as doomed can be.'"

Some were anguished: "I went to bed the proud citizen of a free, secular, democratic republic, and woke up an outcast in a fundamentalist theocracy."

He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a complete failure at business until his wealthy friends rescued him. Yet within a few short years he was elected Governor of Texas, and quickly catapulted into the White House in spite of losing the popular vote. Then he was re-elected with last minute help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of high disapproval ratings. He still couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag without the advice of his staff .....and yet he's been able to declare an endless war and institute some of the most radical changes in American history ....
....... How has He done it?
I submit to you that George Walker Bush is the ANTI-CHRIST.

Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment
and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident.
The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical "family values" propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people
in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups.

Why? Because they are evil GOP Bastards

“Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

The childish charade of this so-called ‘free’ election in the US has finally come to an end. This ‘free’ election was in fact not ‘free’ at all, when you consider that it offered a limited ‘choice’ of only two candidates. This fact alone shows that the US is already very close to a dictatorship. More importantly, both candidates had identical agendas that differed only in style but not in substance, which is not surprising since both were supported and handled by the same corporate Capitalism and Zionist lobbies that American democracy has become known for. In reality, this is a dictatorship that has entered through the back door under the illusion of a ‘free’ election.

For the rest of the world, the global audience was naturally focused on the issue of the US foreign policy. On this point, the difference between the two candidates was even more subtle and fundamental; the US-Lebensraum will surely continue, irrespective of who won the election.

It is time for those with a genuine free mind to reflect on the real implication of this election. What has resulted is another generation of obscure American foreign policy - a child born out of wedlock in a country where virgins are so despised and scarce they constantly deride the honorable women in the Islamic veil (Hijab) who guard their chastity, this next illegitimate generation of US policy rises. The fact is that almost half the US population opposed George Bush and his war agenda but are now considered to be his legal guardian but now the masses are obliged to look after him for another four years by giving total obedience to his commands, one way or the other.

So, pseudo democracy ends and the American people must sit back now and be dictated to. They can of course voice their opinions through the mirage of free demonstrations but those with intelligence realize that vocal chords will have long worn out long these bastard policy children of party donors will relinquish their control.

Genuine change largely comes through aggressive and forceful confrontation; history has proven this time and time again. Demonstrations must escalate to have any impact on those sitting cushy at the top. If one can only travel back in time and talk with those Americans who fought against British imperialism in 1776, they would surely have laughed at these demonstrators who exercise their ‘freedom’.

British imperialism has been gradually replaced with homegrown corporate imperialism. The Afro-Americans, Hispanics and Asians find themselves in a similar situation. The free people of the world hope and look forward to the day when they revolt inside the US and gain real liberation and states like Texas are returned to the motherland, just as Kuwait was returned to Iraq for a short period of time back in 1991. For those hardnosed Republicans, moronic Bible Bashers speaking in tongues, KKK affiliates and those millions of Americans who have never ventured outside of their villages and towns, they ought to read a little into the history of the region that their nation is pillaging in the name of ‘freedom’, ‘democracy’, ‘oil’ and Jesus, the so-called god of ‘love’.

Let’s look at some of the attributes of this illegitimate foreign policy child and its implications.

It is not Usamah Bin Laden, but George Bush that claims to be in direct communication with the Creator. Bush, with his permanent smirk on his face, has convinced himself and his flock that the carnage in Iraq is part of a divine scheme. By implication, this must also include the conduct of his upright ‘Christian’ soldiers in Abu-Ghraib! It must also include the pilots and soldiers that deliberately shoot into the unarmed crowds in Fallujah and elsewhere despite being told that they pose no threat.

According to ‘Prophet’ (or you may pronounce as profit) Bush, God Almighty must have inspired those Christian US soldiers to eliminate the helpless enemy but then, where is this so-called God that your missionaries preach about? Where is their god that commands them to turn the other cheek and love their enemies? Is it the same god that has become a landlord over the area of Palestine, giving permission to any Jew around world to evict those who have lived there for centuries by any means? Is it the same god that inspired the US to tax (or steal) from the millions in poor countries through the dirty trade policies and international institutions and to lighten their guilt, raise money by holding annual charity events and pop concerts? Is it this so-called god of ‘love’ that propels god’s ‘chosen’ nation to build the most lethal and indiscriminate weapons?

This is the real religious fanaticism. Bush and his flocks are the prime examples of it -not the brave human bombers who defend their lands who are merely desperate people forced to take desperate measures.

If the secular West really despised religious fanaticism they would have picked up on the fact that the religious fanaticism of George Bush and his administration is politically motivated. The term religious fanaticism is only employed in condemning the heroic Mujahideen resisting the revolting Goliath. Like most hypocrites, the secular brigades are selective. They even wittingly or unwittingly endorse Biblical arguments as a basis for justifying the ethnic cleansing of Palestine; fulfilling God’s promise whilst condemning the Arabs/Muslims for referring to the religious dimension of the conflict! Are the Muslims obliged to accept the verdict of a Judeo-Christian god?

In contrast, if Usamah Bin Laden were ever to claim direct communication with God Almighty it would contradict Islamic teachings, for only Prophets of God have direct communication with God Almighty through divine revelation. Many take it for granted that Usamah Bin laden is a religious fanatic but anyone examining the facts can see the real fanatic is clearly Bush. Similarly, it is the speeches and sentences of George Bush that are far closer to that of a mad man or an imbecile rather than the well-composed message with a poetic touch of Usamah Bin Laden.

The recent revelation of the actual horrors of the civilian casualties, a war conducted in violation of the UN charter according to the General Secretary of the UN Mr. Kofi Annan, clearly makes these war crimes by any standards. George Bush is a terrorist and a mass murderer. But the world does not revolve around true justice but rather around “might is right”.

Will Bush continue on his current track and if so, what then is the implication of his election?

If the Iraqi’s can be punished for the actions of its dictator then by the same reasoning, a democratic nation can be punished for the actions of its leadership. This is especially the case when the population has approved the conduct of their leadership pro-actively thorough an election. Now, the entire US population is responsible for the carnage in Iraq and elsewhere unless they take immediate measures to distance themselves by taking further practical steps to remove George Bush.

In the same vein, the US is now preparing to implement the final solution for the women and children of Fallujah, creating more mass graves in the post Saddam era. Yet, we will keep hearing about the innocent US civilians of 9/11, but not the millions of innocents that has perished since 1948 or 1924 or even since 9/11. Moderates will be raised up high to selectively condemn those who are resisting whilst their deceitful lips will be sealed in the mounting civilian casualties in this phony war. There are no innocent US civilians now that they have endorsed Bush’s actions, past, present and future.

I may have offended those diehard liberals, freedom-fanatics, militant-secularists, democracy maniacs, republicans, conservatives, belligerent-moderates, confused-moderates, migrant-coolies, self-hating coolies. But you know people may dislike the taste of medicine although it can heal the body. Remember truth does not inherently lie in numerical majority but objectively assessing the merit of the arguments presented
