Unfortunately, the connection between George W Bush and God is yet another example in the egregious mountain of lies the neo-cons dumped upon the citizens of the United States.

I state without reservation: George W Bush does not now nor has he ever believed in a higher being or "God".

The people he trusts the most are atheists. Above that, they are without exception war and military cowards. Cowards are afraid of dying. They fear death because they know: when the fun's over, it's over. I'm sure Bush's favorite Russian, Putin, agrees.

Birds of a feather. This is why Congress must MOVE, and you know what I'm talking about.

NO, the Bush coup Laida's no longer working. Manifest Insanity's the Bushist legacy.

Clemons is right. You can throw out all the books heretofore written about the presidency. Bush can do plenty more damage. He's never governed openly or by consensus outside his cabal, so public opinion has no bearing on what he does. And he certainly doesn't need to do it from a restaurant. He can eat takeout while he takes out the Constitution.

Surely historians will rate Bush as the worst President in this nations's history.
I distinctly recall the Reagan years and thinking that it couldn't get any worse.
Obviously it could and did.
However I hope that history will also record how the main stream media and the Congress were complicit in his and this Nation's descent into it's current sorry state.
But most of all it is US....the American people who deserve history's scorn and approbrium for what has happened.
I am truly, truly ashamed of my country.

Poor George represents that which is worst about Amerikkka.

-unbridled greed & selfishness of the 'haves'
-extreme ignorance, conceit, & arrogance
-fanatic nationalism
etc.

In the role of a texas baseball team owner - he's probably pretty good, but (like most of us) he doesn't have the necessary equipment that it takes to lead a nation.

DK appears to fit that bill...

This administration has been a disaster. Both Bush and Cheney should be impeached. If they are allowed to leave office without being held accountable, then this nation's rule of law will be meaningless.

The nation were traumatized by 9/11; Bush leveraged that circumstance, and beat this nation over the head with it. That's why he has gotten away with as much as he has.

The way out for this criminal of his "predicament" is easy enough, so easy in fact that they themselves came up with it 2 years ago now. A handful of al Qaida guys could help him out, preferably (or rather said miraculously) Iranian "al Qaida" guys, like maybe some crazies of Perle's favourite charity: MEK.

2003, bushslut responded to a question about how history will view his presidency: "HISTORY? Who cares about history...we'll all be dead."

So now this moron is "fretting about how history will judge his legacy"??? I doubt it. He could care less. All he ever wanted was a)the money, b)the money, and c)the money.

Time for revolt if we are ever to regain our self respect as a nation and a people.
Call/Write your congress people daily to start impeachment proceedings NOW!!!!!!

The situation in the United States can get much, much worse for everyone but the elites, who are of course untouchable.

Know this USA - your leadership is corrupt - you are lead by war criminals - your leadership has twisted the goodness of your entire nation into a rope to hang your decency, compassion and humanity.

Your very Constitution relegated by George W Bush to the status of a "Goddammed piece of paper". In his world just another piece of arse wipe.

Shame Shame Shame on you and a pox upon your tormentors.

Calling G.W. Bush a "bottom feeder" is being polite.

Bush will be leaving this country with a legacy of policy mistakes and disasters in every sphere of government activity. With the Supreme Court now packed with ultra conservatives, it will be decades before any progress can be made in reversing the direction taken by Bush and Cheney.

History will judge this administration very harshly.

European history books are different from American history books.

American history is the voice of the establishment - they paint Columbus as a hero. Same for the presidents who slaughtered millions of Native Americans, and broke every one of the treaties with them. Same goes for the ones who killed millions of Vietnamese, as well as those who were involved in the assassinations of JFK,MLK, and other foreign heads of state. Millions of innocent people were killed by sanctions in Iraq under Bush Sr & Clinton and they're not even in jail.

Bush isn't so much worse than the others before him - the big difference is that the truth is growing harder for the bastards to hide from us.

The truth is setting us free from political tyrants (and all the misery that they cause).

---------------------------------------------

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Yes, I admit to being a terrible conspiracy theorist, but again the Bush political dynasty has driven people like me over the edge.

The Bush Dynasty's goals are not egalitarian. In the long-term, Bush and neo-conservatives intend to eliminate the Middle Class into impoverishment.

George W Bush is counting on historical revisionism. He may be no longer able to casually dismiss virolent dissent and objection from republican loyalists (Whigs), but he cares not one whit for anyone who's status is below that of multi-millionaire.

George W Bush's future is Hitlerian. We should not forget that the Bush patriarchs, between 1910s - 1930s were prominent members of the American Eugenics Society whose tenets were integrated into Hitler's delusion of Aryan master race. The living Bush patriarchs since that time, though no longer open sympathizers of and collaborators with Nationalist Socialism, have otherwise fully demonstrated by their actions the same brutal elitism. George W Bush is MAD.

Let us not forget that a cornered rat can be VERY dangerous. Look what Bush has done when he had something to lose. What will he do if he believes he has nothing to lose? Presidents, even very unpopular ones, have tremendous executive power that can be wielded in very destructive ways. Beware of the next 18 months if the Democrats fail to mount an impeachment drive.

Can Bushpig do any more damage?

One word: "Iran".

I truly have a difficult time believing that Bush actually cares about his "legacy".

Bush hasn't been a failure. He has served his masters well and has basically done what he and his coalition of interests have set out to do.

"Incidentally, I sometimes wonder what he will do when he is no longer president (if that does actually happen, it's by no means guaranteed)."

He'll ditch the wife and spend the rest of his life in a chemically-induced stupor.

Bottom-feeder? Hardly. This man and his corporate buddies have become as wealthy as the Saudis after draining the blood from the taxpayers. Fabulously wealthy.

They set out to destroy the middle class, make impotent the government, seize ownership of our way of life to turn us into uninformed robots, and they succeeded.

He can harm us beyond comprehension between now and 2009. He may even set himself up as dictator and suspend elections in 2008.

He is the most dangerous president ever to seize control of the US government.

I find this article to be totally underwhelming. Every republican candidate up for re-election has the blood-stains of 3600 dead American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and others, all in the name of profit and power.

Happy Birthday Mister President . . .
.
Must be pretty lonely at the top.
.
As far as more damage - ChevronLisa is already whispering "Iran" along with the GOP chorus. As I recall those that weren't "with" him, like the bulk of the American people, were to be tortured. eh?

It might be fitting to abolish the Executive branch of government.

Given that those individuals who'd make the best leaders rarely garner the public fascination, the choice will—and I certainly hope I'm proven wrong on this soon—always devolve to those who pander to the prevailing public emotions and all those "issues" that make any sane person want to sneeze.

The issues are symptomatic of deeper imbalances—something an intelligent leader would recognize, understand, and have the knowledge to address properly.

Leaders without imagination, creativity, and an enlightened understanding of the purpose of life, both their own and in general, always have the chance of becoming dangerous people, bored with their lot and too taken with their own importance. Worst of all, they have easy access to destructive power and the wealth of the nation. At this time on Earth, no man should have command over the weapons which now rest in a deadly silence.

If the Almighty Father can grant the entire US one large favor, let us hope that he soon sows the seeds of humility across the land, for greatness does not exist except in the company of humility.

PS/Bush et al are not wealthy people. The suffer from the worst sort of poverty: a spiritual poverty. And pulling oneself out of that unfortunate realm can be enormously difficult.

I am confident that political scientists and historians will accurately portray Bush as the worst President so far in American History. I do not know if I would use the term "bottom feeder" but certainly "the worst." There is nothing good that he has done. And even though the chances are incredibly miniscule, should anything semi-decent happen during his next eighteen months in office, it will be small potatoes. There is great consensus among reputable historians and political scientists that the Bush Presidency indeed is a total bust, and I can guarantee you that they will not be kind to him in the books.

What George Bush needs to know is that the flags behind him in the associated picture contain stars, and eagles, and stripes, and there is even a ying-yang-looking symbol.

This is all to his back and above him. He better get a clue, and I doubt he will get it from his mother.

Peace,

***** time oh time *****

Can someone please explain what a "bottom Feeder" is? I'm a damn forigner, and the word is not in the dictionary.

The President's July 4 speech was "invitation only"!? July 4, celebrating the founding of this country, and he is too afraid to speak to the 'People' on this occasion. That about says it all for this poor pathetic fool.

Saila - I think a "bottom feeder" is a scum who eats dead stuff and bottle caps and anything else that sink to the bottom.

"Every republican candidate up for re-election has the blood-stains of 3600 dead American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and others, all in the name of profit and power." So do, at least, Clinton and Edwards. And which of the Democratic candidates has been less ready to go to war agaist Iran, or more ready to support actions in Israel and Palestine that assure only more deaths of Jews, Muslims, Christians and everyone else in the region, than Bush/Cheney? Unless a candidate emerges within either the Democratic or Republican party who is both electable and very different from the current collection the Supreme Court will be the least of our problems.

Basis For Impeachment

Americans must blame themselves for the dreadful policies of Bush' team. After allowing them to steal two elections, we then stood by while the Senate defaulted their primary duties by allowing this theocratic (and unelected) president, to select unfit and dangerous people to key judgeships and other vital positions.

Other unprecedented abuses that have proceeded unabated (or with token resistance) from congress include manipulation of science and facts to impede vital environmental reforms, impediment of investigations into 9/11, gross misinformation concerning the war and terrorism, character assassinations of those who oppose his policies (remember Senator Max Cleland, a triple Vietnam amputate who was branded unpatriotic and unseated for sponsoring an investigation into 9/11 which Bush opposed)--and the list goes on.

The gravity of abuses from this administration eclipse the Lewinsky scandal which led to an impeachment, and are more serious than the Watergate affair which brought down a presidency.

Bottom feeder is just a term used by humans to describe another human that they are ashamed to admit is one of them, or by humans who want to believe that human beings are superior in value to other lifeforms.
Being called a bottom feeder or a rat as others have used above is actually something to be proud of if you examine the behavior of each of these lifeforms rationally. A bottom feeder participates in the lifecycle--it cleans up the mess of others essentially. A rat is a survivalist extraordinaire.

Humans just want to belittle them because they are more successful species according to human standards of value than they are.

I sometimes hear people who try to suggest that other species are just as cruel as humans. Cats for example.
But we can take this headline from yesterday's AP wire to blast that myth out of the water.

Police: Boy Forced Into Sex With Mom
Saturday July 7, 2007 1:46 AM
By BRIAN SKOLOFF

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Two teenagers were accused of gang raping a woman and forcing her 12-year-old son to join in the attack, then beating him and pouring cleaning solution into his eyes.

It is impossible to show another species besides humans that are even capable of such creative sadism.

Bush needs humility--but humanity does also.

It is truly difficult for me to comprehend, why the President of the United States, would be more concerned about his legacy, than he is about his country.

Pride goith before a fall. That is so true and the fall better come before he does more damage to us and the rest of humanity. If he maintains his present course, there won't be anyone here to read his "legacy", bacteria, worms and roaches ___don't read.

Saila, I believe you have it mixed up, afraid that for the present, we are the "damn" forigners for the rest of the world.

I'm not going to wait for an invite to the Oval Office, so I'll suggest an answer here. The world will remember you as the one most responsible for the Global Oil War. It didn't have to be. We as a nation could have taken another course, but this is what you chose and deceptively began for us. Your administrative tenure will be ragarded collectively as a running putsch on the social contract and an open plunder of the wealth of a nation.

But you don't need me to tell you that George, you and your friends have coaxed a twisted version of social darwinism to create a virtual Fherengi culture. The Bill Of Rights you endeavor to replace with the Rules Of Acquisition. You and your appointees will be remembered for seperating, in our time, the two personalities of law and justice. Looking back someday it will be plainly obvious how you and they led the party traditionaly aligned to State's Rights and home rule, to undermine those very things.

The Rules Of Acquisition permeate every "free" trade agreement and by stipulation or assumption they deny the sovereignty of State's Rights and Home Rule. A new world Authority exists confident in the cruel inevitability of the rule of "business." The Authority exists only to pervert justice and responsibility. It is organized like a club. You have automatic continued membership if you agree that the Rules Of Acquisition are sovereign and supreme.

The rules are assumed to flow ruthlessly from the corporate body to the indivdual and the benefits are permitted to be captured by the one as by the few. Forget those rules or stray and you will suffer the consequences of ruin and irrelevance. The only things you may not do are those things that others prevent you from doing, and the rules promote the purchase of allies to enforce what you desire as allowable.

This is not an American failing, this is a human failing. Those that appear to write from beyond the American malaise should realize that the whole human community failed to stop George Bush from beginning this conflict. He spit in eveyone's eye. The Club has many members in your locale and many of them control your governments.

Yes we Americans have to put massive pressure on our Senators and Representatives to perform thier duty to contain the excesses of an intransigent executive branch. Citizens of other nations have to pressure their leaders to end their support of Bush Doctorine.

Hillary and Barak: there is no chance in hell I will support either one of you if you do not NOW, in this moment, begin to lead. Screw the campaign, get to the Senate and SHOW US how your're going to lead. 70% concensus against the war should give you a little backbone at least!

""Every republican candidate up for re-election has the blood-stains of 3600 dead American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and others, all in the name of profit and power." So do, at least, Clinton and Edwards."

And...what exactly is your point?

I said EVERY REPUBLICAN and you mention 2 Democratic candidates. Haven't you heard? Iraq is a republican neo-con invention. Did you not get the message?

If you're going to make analogies, PLEASE add a dash of intelligence before mixing and baking.

George was depending on winning so he could write history!

Before shock and awe I wrote the White House and said that history will not remember him the way he thought it would. Violence begets violence and peace will not come out of violence. Back then I thought they would be coming after me for that!

I just wrote to my Senator Domenici, thanking him for his choice.

I want to stress that PNAC, AIPAC the tri-lateral commission etc., put such a goofy president in power so they can dump everything on him. IT'S ALL PRESIDENT BUSH'S FAULT.

Yea right!

Don't forget that the most recent evidence of his waning power is the rejection of the immigration bill by many who were angered at its "liberal" treatment of "the illegals." Bush is unpopular because the war is going badly and his solution to the "illegal alien crisis" is to offer "amnesty." Sorry about all the quotation marks, but all of these coded words still have tremendous ideological power in American discourse and there is no sign of any fundamental ideological shift to more progressive, humane, anti-imperialist politics in the mainstream. Bush may be down, but the regressive worldview he represents is still alive and kicking.

Russ:
Your postings were very eloquent. And spot on.....thank you sir.

Saila:
"Bottom Feeder" generally refers to a type of fish such as carp or catfish that survives by ingesting whatever happens to be found on the bottom of the river or lake that they inhabit.
Since that most often means other creatures that have already died they are sort of aquatic buzzards.
Not that that is bad per se.
They play an invaluable role that God in his wisdom made a place for. Plus they are tasty little buggers:).
However Bush and Cheney and the Neo-Cons are not deserving of the comparison IMHO.
They are common criminals and I shall not rest well in my grave unless they are convicted and imprisoned for their crimes.

Scarecrow, the democratic party has enabled almost EVERYTHING the bush administration has done. the wiretaps, the judicial appointments, the tax cuts, the medicare/drug scam, the katrina disaster, the invasion of afghanistan (only 2 dems voted against it in the house, none in the senate), the iraq war (invasion, funding, etc., etc.), NCLB, the patriot act, torture, gitmo, etc.. the only things they haven't enabled is stuff they couldn't possibly have known about (e.g., firing the 9 district attorneys). and of course they sat passively on their hands as bush stole TWO elections, '00 & '04. moreover, much of what w. has done is a continuation of clinton era policies (iraq, patriot act, etc.) the top-tier dem prez candidats are all on record supporting a potential assault on iran, and the dem-controlled congress has refused to rein in the bushies by forcing them to seek authorization before any attack on iran. also, they are all in lock step on support for israel.

but we need to make sure the dems win in '08, right?

Jeff Moehring,
Thanks for the explanation. I sort of thought it could be something like that, but what threw me off is the fact that these sons of bushes, especially Cheney, are SHAKS!

Impeachment should have convened the minute Bush took advantage of Congress' appropriation of money for an Afghan invasion and Bush invaded Iraq instead to appease Daddy Bush's hurting balls from the Desert Storm joke in '91.

"Scarecrow, the democratic party has enabled almost EVERYTHING the bush administration has done.."

Again, get your facts straight before posting.

Here's what you should have said, for starters:

"Scarecrow, the democratic party has enabled almost EVERYTHING the LYING bush administration has done..."

Key word here: LYING. Get it?

This article is an insult to the real bottom feeders, fish such as fluke and flounder and sole which are actually quite delicious. I don't think I'd want to eat Baby Caligula. Why not "the lowest piece of human slime to ever inhabit the planet"?

Ken Hausle,
Thanks for the explanation.

From the MAC OS X Tiger dictionary:

bottom feeder noun an aquatic creature that feeds at the bottom of a body of water. • figurative someone who profits from things cast off or left over by others.

Bush agonises over legacy! Even now he doesn't seem to agonise a bit about doing so much damage to the country he was (ill) chosen to SERVE!!!

But I definitely agree, he can still do the unthinkable in Iran which seems to be Cheney's ultimate goal. It's terrifying that a massive call for impeachment at least of Cheney is taking so long to build.

ALERT!! All the Republicans who backed Bush and are profiting from his policies are suddenly ducking out and abandoning him.... what you would expect from greedy opportunists.
Do Not Forget that the Republican Party nominated him, twice, put him in office, and said nothing until the public finally had access to the facts.
There Is More where Bush came from, and they want to maintain their elitist corporate-fascist empire.
America, let's not write off the mess created by the Bush family to GeoBoy alone. DaddyGeo lay the groundwork, Reagan bobbed his head while it happened, and now we have the final results as the curtain as unveiled.
The problem is not confined to George Bush. The problem is the corporate fraternity called the Republican Party.... arrogant, mammonistic, ruthless, and often ignorant of its own megalomaniacal myopia.
The fall of George Bush should be the alert to the American people that there is an insidious corporate fascist machine that has eaten away at our personal rights, the founding principles of our nation and democracy, and is destroying respect, even fueling hatred in some places, for us internationally every day that Bush remains in office.... the kind of hatred that could lead to retaliatory warlike measures resembling those inflicted by the Republican war machine.
IMPEACHMENT IS OVERDUE. Get off your duffs, Congresspersons, and DO IT! Bush increases the size of an international time bomb every day he stays in power.
And the time for American isolationism is over... we can't continue to live in ignorance of the rest of the world and its needs and values, and still survive. And the same is true for every other new economic superpower on any continent.
As Americans, we need to quickly convert our shame into determination to eliminate its causes. Now. Time is wasting, with a Madman, America's Hitler, in the White House.
And, speaking of America's Hitler, don't forget that the Nuremburg Trials were mostly show-trials, key Nazis were left untouched and many given protection both in the USA and Latin America (and in Germany).... underling the importance of remembering that Hitler was taken out, but the machine around him lived on and rebuilt its power. And So, we should learn to not let That History repeat also and become manifest again. Rumsfeld and his military contractor friends are still cashing in. Cheney and whatever weird cult he belongs to. Why was Rumsfeld pardoned of US war crimes in German courts?... there's a story to look into... read T H Tetens: The New Germany and the Old Nazis.... while remembering that Prescott Bush was an ardent Nazi supporter and benefactor.

Scarecrow,

Those who fell for every lie Bush threw at them do not deserve to be re-elected, right? That's probably why some posters call them dumbocrats.

In the mid-70's and during the throes of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon became psychologically unhinged, and (according to Henry Kissinger's memoirs) was drunk and talking to portraits on the Whitehouse walls. General Alexander Haig who was then Chief-of-Staff at the Whitehouse informed the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Nixon was unstable and that they should not respond to any rash orders coming from the Commander--in-Chief. According to high staffers in the Lyndon Johnson White House, he also became unhinged after the Tet Offensive if not before. Wars of choice like Vietnam and Iraq have a way of driving presidents mad. The same has happened to Bush, and he and Cheney are absolutely capable of doing much, much more harm in the remaining eighteen months. Its imperative that the Congress be pressured into impeaching Bush and Cheney before they bring on more catastrophes.

Scarecrow, you are perfectly right. Bush's reign is not over yet. The harm he intends to inflict upon humanity at large scale is not done yet. We ought to be ready for more 9/11s, for more fearmongering, for more terror alerts and for more wars. We ought to be ready for the day he declares martial law and crowns himself emperor.No more presidential elections once Bush's Millenium Reich is established.So, it is a bit too soon to evaluate his legacy. Worst president? Of course! Worst criminal in human history? Perhaps

Bush lie Scarecrow? How could that be, when God himself put George in power? He's a God fearing Christian and those people do not lie.___ Never!

Wonder if there are wiretap recordings of the conversations between Bush and God? I'd like to hear what God said to him. Maybe, he said, "Kill all of the Arabs, they are the offspring of Cain. Maybe he told Bush that if he used DU for weapons, he would bring on the rupture. I'd like to hear it from God. The Christian God I trust in may be a different spitit than our president's God.

As with all things Bu$h, things never work out the way they're supposed to:

"I said to her, make sure the rug says 'optimistic person comes to work.'" --George W. Bush, on his instructions to First Lady Laura Bush in choosing a rug for the Oval Office, Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007

When Laura got the rug back, it actually read: "delusional person comes to work." Bubble Boy's bubble won't stand the test of time.
