Can it actually be that anyone that there is anyone so deluded,mentally deficient or just dishonest to the core that they won't acknowledge George W. Bush as the undisputedly and absolutely worst person ever to have been the President of the United States?

I hold advanced degrees in history, political science and economics and I state categorically that Bush is the most completely failed person to ever be in his high office. Note here that I did not say "elected to" because in 2000 he was elevated to the presidency by the machinations at the polls and the United States Supreme Court, and in the 2004 elections it has been clearly demonstrated that there were massive voting frauds and irregularities in key states that resulted in the idiot's re-election.

It is impossible to overstate the ponderous stupidity, hubris, narrow mindedness and total lack of any qualification whatsoever for the office that Bush holds.

It has long been clear that, were he able to read and comprehend it, Bush has interpreted the U.S. Constitution as endowing him with imperial, unquestionable and absolute power to ignore, misinterpret and/or break any and every law which he finds inconvenient to his whims. He has described himself as: a WAR president (reluctantly according to him - yeah right), "the Decider" and other titles he has embraced from time to time as he has slashed and burned his way through the seemingly interminable years of his "rule" aided and abetted by the criminally negligent majority party Republicans until the mid-term 2006 elections. (Let me here sadly note that under the so-called leadership of Harry Reid in the U.S. Senate and the absolutely ridiculous and ineffective Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the U.S. House Bush has continued to work his will and defy any constraint by the legislative branch that is supposed to be a co-equal and counterbalancing branch of our government-they have literally done almost nothing to rein in the tyrant in the White House).

Bush has invaded a sovereign nation (Iraq) under demonstratedly false pretenses by cherry-picking, twisting and plain old lying his butt off about "intelligence" to justify that invasion. In furtherance of this crime:

• Bush has subsequently: proclaimed mission accomplished in 2003

• Changed the mission whenever necessary

• Lied to Americans and the world about "progress" in that illegal and unjustified war that has actually been an illegal occupation of the country since Saddam was deposed as it sank into total disarray and civil war among the religious factions of that nation to justify the continuing U.S. presence there

• his administration has been implicated in lies about the circumstances of the death of former NFL star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, who was actually killed by "friendly fire", to boost American support of his various war(s) on terror

• his administration has repeatedly used fear to redirect public attention by announcing heightened levels of terror warnings every time they have a political setback

• Bush and the Republican majority in Congress, in furtherance of his illegal and unnecessary war in Iraq, saw that legislation was passed savaging the U.S. Constitution and, most particularly, the Bill of Rights to spy on American citizens

• Bush and the Republicans have encouraged the most barbarous methods of interrogation including torture and incarceration for indefinite periods of time suspected terrorists and anyone that the Bush cabal considered to have aided terrorists without any warrant, trial or even proof of such activity with no recourse to legal remedies

• Bush commuted the sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby who was rightly convicted for the obstruction of justice and lying to investigators to protect VP Dick Cheney in the criminal and impeachable offense of outing Ms. Valerie Plame (a covert CIA operative) because her husband (a former ambassador who sinned against the the Bush empire by criticizing their lies about non-existent weapons of mass destruction involving an African nation)

• Don't even get me started on Bush and and his incompetent and immoral jerk of an Attorney General (the only man in Washington either less qualified or less honest than Bush and Cheney). The list of Bush's destructive and hateful acts is almost endless and my listings above are not exhaustive in any degree

I defy anyone to refute the fact that George W. Bush has no equal in the damage he has done to the United States and to the world at large as the U.S. president. The freedoms that have long made the United States the envy of the world and a shining light of hope in a very dark and dangerous world have been diminished to a degree that only time will reveal the full extent thereof by the Crawford, TX Village Idiot and his foul-mouthed evil office mate.

May God have mercy on me for having to say this. Having said all that I have said herein I must admit that I pray that nothing will happen to George W. Bush that would enable Dick Cheney to become the president. The reign of terror under a man like Cheney would make George W. Bush seem like an enlightened and benevolent ruler.

I do not say that the world at large and the United States in particular have nothing to fear from terrorists whatever their point of origin. There are people who are willing to do anything in furtherance of their agenda. That is probably more true now than it has ever been.

What is also true is that you do not defeat evil by becoming evil and amoral yourself. You do not fight terror by sending hundreds of thousands of young Americans into harms way in a country that had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the despicable and dastardly acts of the cowards who committed the acts of terror in the U.S. in 2001.

I know that "the public" has relatively short attention and retention spans as a group...meaning no disrespect-I am part of "the public...but if we individually recall things have happened in America that we need to rethink. When I was growing up during the entirety of the so-called "Cold War" we used to lambast all communist nations for their repressive actions against their own citizenry including: monitoring of and spying on their converations; arrest and detention for indeterminate periods of time without charges and without legal recourse; efforts to restrain free speech etc. Do any of these things sound a little too familiar on a more current basis?

Far too many good and decent Americans have given "the last full measure of devotion" over the history of America to ensure to us the very freedoms that both the terrorists and the Bush administration have tried so hard to curtail or take away from us altogether. Don't dishonor their memories by continuing to support a person like George W. Bush

In a better world than now exists both Bush and Cheney would be impeached, removed from office and prosecuted for their crimes. That, of course, would be in a better world that does not exist.

I quite agree with nodupe (July 7th, 2007 3:11 pm)

Why are Bush and his handlers not concerned about climate change, or Peak Oil, or overpopulation (suppressing birth control), or the economy (america's national debt), the low ratings of GWB and the administration in the polls, and the whole slew of other issues they're handling in an irresponsible and seemingly irrational manner?

Maybe he's not crazy? Maybe they already know for sure that the 2008 election will not take place. Maybe there'll be martial law and nuclear winter. Maybe they're right on track with their ultimate agenda?

I'm investing in sweaters and wool socks...

Moehring's comment above:

"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."

I've felt the same way, but now there's something you can do and it's very simple.

"A well-connected source in Washington challenged the consensus that Mr Bush's poll ratings, at just under 30%, could not fall much further because that figure represented bedrock Republican support."

How annoying is this? Is there anything more pathetic as blind loyalty?

If Al Gore became President, and did 1/10 the damage this monster has, I'd condemn him. If Russ Feingold somehow became President, and did 1/10 the damage this monster has, I'd condemn him. If I were alive when Thomas Jefferson was President, and he did 1/10 the damage this revolting, toilet-dwelling waste of skin has, I'd have condemned him. If there was a god and he struck down from the heavens and did 1/10 the damage this bastard has, I'd condemn him.

I've said it before and I'll repeat it.
G.W. Bush is to stupid to inflict any more harm to this country by himself. But; Cheney et al. will come up with a plan that will create a crisis that Bush can use to play the good cowboy again. They will then state to the country that this crisis is to grave to "allow" general elections to take place. Wait and see........

So now this horrible piece of corporate slime, this money worshiping hypocritical bastard that used the name of Jesus to promote war greed and corruption wants to leave a positive legacy as President. He doesn't even deserve the smallest particle of sympathy. When he saw pain and suffering he tried to take advantage of it. When he saw greed and corruption he moved in on it and made it his own.

If this idiot wanted to be a good president he should have helped people. All the good presidents identified with suffering and made some effort to reduce it. They expanded democratic institutions and reduced corruption and cronyism. Bu$h the inferior had the best education money could buy but didn't learn the simple lessons of sharing and fair play he should have learned as s small child.

Of all the good blogs posted here, I fear urthsong has it pretty well stated.

Cheney wishes to nuke Iran. Well, if and when that happens, Katey bar the door andturn out the lights, cause Bushes rapture may arrive and arrive for everybody, but don't look for Jesus to show up.

Even if it doesn't turn into a full blown world wide nuke war, the United States will surely fall because of it. China, Russia, India and others have all stated that if we attack Iran, they will be on Irans team.

Of course he will have to get his Presidential Library organised, perhaps he'll start here:

http://servercc.oakton.edu/~billtong/bnsp/readmypetgoat.htm

Let's hope he gets it the right way up this time!

to see this pig ostracized from society, makes my heart soar. to never be able to proudly walk amongst the people, is a fitting end to this genocidele madman.

Bush shouldn't be worried about his "legacy" - he should be worried about how he will look when hung from the noose.

Regarding Iraq: "If we ain't losing, we seem to been over there entirely too long to be winnin'. That's for shore."

( From "Recruiting Trench Liberals and Leftnecks"
By Joe Bageant )

So when did Mike Conaway get elected to the Senate? Of course he is "still loyal" to George Bush. This is only his second term in the House of Representatives. He ran as a friend of Bush's from his Texas oil days. On his blog page he has the state flag of Texas, not the flag of the United States. Guys like this will remain loyal to George Bush to the bitter end.

Bush held meetings with the religious right wingnut leaders. The plan seems to be setting in place terrible events that will lead to The Rapture. Not a bad deal. Enjoy great wealth until whisked up to heaven. The only thing that's causing Bush worry isn't his mark on history which he doesn't anticipate will be very long. It's his fear of going to jail. BTW- That wasn't a 15 thousand acre ranch in Paraguay. If South American reports are correct, it is a 150 square mile ranch encompassing closer to 100 thousand acres. The reason it would be a safe refuge is the same reason that Nazis took refuge, no extradition treaty. War criminals don't like extradition treaties. And one more thing. Cheney has made it clear that he wants to nuke Iran. No simple DUs will do for him. Estimates of casualties if Iran is subjected to attacks by Bunker Busters with nuclear warheads could well exceed a million civilians. Only last week, Cheney was at it again with the accusations against Iran that some US military say are wrong.

i am surprised that people here see bush as such an independent agent. i think he did what cheney told him and cheney worked hand in hand with aipac.
if we don't like what this administration did then we have to look at aipac influence on US foreign policy.
aipac is not looking for justice for palestinians, lebanese or anybody in the middle east. this is the recipe for endless wars. iran will be next if aipac has its way.
hopefully looking at the role of aipac can be done without immediate accusations of antisemitism.

The Bush legacy will be written in the blood of our dead soldiers and of the dead innocent men, women, and children of Iraq.

He'll go to his new 15,000 acre ranch in South America JUDI and drink himself to death; while Coni and Rove read childrens stories to him, about a duck who couldn't quack and is now a dead duck.

What will Bush do once and IF he leaves office? Write his memoirs, and support his brother Jeb to run for office. And he will probably sell his book and make a bundle because citizens will buy anything even if a book is filled with lies and pretended religious faith.

It appears the same people that run Bush also censor this discussion.
It's nearly impossible to post who owns and controls him and tells him his every move including writing every word he mumbles on the national media.....

Bush is not an atheist, he is a hypocrite. A pretender of the faith. A bottom feeder who eats his own people. Moonraven, there are some of us who keep trying to get the AH and his Vice AH out of office. It will take more.

This will most likely sound extremely naïve, but whatever happened to public servants wanting to be elected to serve the country? Our Presidents over the past number of years seem more concerned with their bloody stupid "Legacy," and don't give a rat's ass about serving the country. If Bush is so concerned about his legacy,he should have considered that before launching his disastrous war.

If and when Cheney gives the go ahead to attack Iran, after the dust settles and the smoke clears, the hamsters and mice and rats may be ruling this planet. Perhaps that would be best, rodents don't build atomic bombs and spread depeted uranium isotopes into the atmosphere.

My favorite line in the above article leaves me with the most satisfying impression - " Mr Bush cuts a lonely figure, holed up in the White House fretting over his legacy."

Poor lonely and sad Mr. Bush, worrying about his goddamn legacy. I agree with Rufus's solution. Void the 2000 and 2004 elections. Reverse ALL the damage this administration had done to this country. That'll take care of the legacy. And I sure don't want to see his face on the new dollar coin, or in a list of U.S. presidents in history books either.

Many thanks and much encouragement to hamsterlove.

Rufus, your solution looks great on paper...keep us posted on its feasibility.

The solution is quite easy. The new President in January 2009 declares the 2000 and 2004 elections fraudulent and therefore void. All Bush decisions/programs/appointments reversed. New President nominates replacements for Roberts and Alito, and torture returns being a war crime.

hamsterlove - great message.

I've been reading this site's articles and comments for some time. I have some (long) digression about simple animal affection, in the midst of coming out of a major depression, with despair over the US deterioration, contagious and spreading to the local level. My current existence of recluse and basic survival replaces my former existence of stand up to the bull, optimistic go-getter.

The Bush bulldozer has trickled down into states and cities - laws and courts. "If he could do it and get away with it, then so can I," A plethora of Bush-like destruction of (ignored) legal violations of state and national laws(without the murder) has affected our community and the status quo is the result. The city and county will do anything to save its own big machine, deny and purjur, destory those who try to stand up to it.

One case has altered my life negatively in every aspect and years later, I am trying to find the will and reasons to carry on and redefine myself, my values, and community (move to another? but find the same thing there).

That's what has led me to look to aminals, because they are not humans.

We can learn about social interaction and maybe change for the better (to provide some hope to the depressed but still hopefull - where I am), through some diversion of observing the overlooked and the generally considered unimportant: the small community-dwelling animals.

Admittidly impossible to accomplish.....if everyone on the planet was given a dwarf hamster to take care of, and the individual human's survival was dependent on his/her care of the hamster and it's survival, positive change could result. People and communities and thus eventually states and countires could refocus away from the short-sighted, ultimately destructive "values" of 'what's in it for me.' HOLD-YOUR-HAMSTER-DAY could change someone, for a few minutes for for life.

Holding your dwarf hamster invites concern about its habitat and longterm srvival. this may get one thinking about our treatment of animals, protection versus pollution of their habitats, in capitalism's insatiable need for "growth and development."

Holding a delicate and cuddly yet dependent dwarf hamster renforces "the moment" and makes it personally warm and special, which removes cyclic thinking over bad in the world - to focus on this soft, wonderful little animal. Like 'make love not war,' hold your hamster, not war.

Please Try it, visit a pet store. Gently talk to and very slowly and caefully scoop one up in both hands cupped, gently. Make your hands a safe haven from which to look out between your fingers. The hamster nose leads its path. Be sure and wash your hands before handling another hamster because they can nip because of the scent of competing hamster smells on your hands. They originate in Syberia where competition for survival is fierce, and are better loners, where mice are better communitiy-sharers.

I want to share that I have learned a lot about social interaction, compassion, and have hightened my senses of awareness and observations and corrected my mannerisms and behaviors through delicate handling of the mouse-size adorable dwarf hamsters.

Have you observed a mice or rat colony? They are intelligent enough to be trained, are loyal, and considerate enough to clean each other and if smells are mixed, will nurse another's babies,and play and frolic together, mosty in peace. How many humans do this?

As someone pointed out, rats are great survivalists and learners. They clean themselves constatly, and it is the dirty environment that breeds disease, not rodents.

Some, however, bully the weakest/smallest one to the point of death, in many (usually male) mouse colonies. This is somehow survival evolution, instinctively competing for the best mate, eliminating competition and passing on its own genes and gaining control of the food in the habitat. But this does not happen in all mouse coonies. Knowing why and how this difference exists and doesn't exist could bring insight into human behavior. Refer any studies on this? I'm open to learning.

I'm voicing a simple obsrvation that admittedly digresses, but in a more hopeful way. I am sharing this because I have changed for the better by focusing on the small animals - which is not as overwhelming as trying to change this $%^*&-ing policical process.

Yes, I see far worse ahead. Bush's casual saying something about History -that it doesn't matter, I'll be dead, defines sociopath. The man who couldn't spell potatoe/potato to a class school children was laughable. People heaved sighs and rolled their eyes when he TOOK 2 presidencies, after he couldn't even blance the budget in his own state of Texas.

But revealing some of his stupidity early on (which is now portrayed less by media) implied, "don't worry, he is dumb and harmless." oh well, hole out and wait till it passes....But NO. He and his administration as well as Democrats AND Republicans alike, feed the same power/$ system but under different party names. It is a system problem. Voting democrat in 08 won't change the war etc.

The two-party system needs a third party to be held accountable, as well as a cap funding on public, not private, election spending. The special interest $ big business, insurance and pharmaceutical industries are much more powerful lobbying that "we the people."

I am going to change my votor status from Democrat to Independent. I am not a radical. I'm just fed up. I didn't vote for Nadar in the last election, because I thought it was a lost cause and would take the vote away from Gore. At the time, I was still under the illusion of good democrats, and didn't understand the NEED to support the grassroots efforts of a 3rd party in our failed 2-party system.

But I would vote for Nadar in 08. He's real, down to earth, has integrity, learns the facts and then does something to inform and change. He cares about the regular people and the issues they are faced with.

take care

also the connection between God and SOB is the intercom between Dick and Insane.
HOW about the connection between SOB's grand father a guy named Prescott Bush and Hitler ? read about it where you can find it... then see Adolph was like a great uncle...so forget Uncle Sam...

This SOB ( son of bush ) should do the world a favor by taking Dick the dork and himself to Iraq on a one way ticket.

oneguy,

I just finished "The Source" and I have been thinking too about how the elite display paganistic tendencies; the sacrificing of life for material gain. Pagans have historically prayed to material gods. Which lead to the rebellion we now call monotheism. I view true monotheism as the acceptance of the whole, and the acceptance that we make up that whole. Life is a physical manifestation of the spiritual realm.

Dear oneguy: I'm off to see the Wizard. I, too, think this is an intelligence issue. I just recently learned about the "Stockholm Syndrome" as it is called. Of course, I remember the Patty Hearst ordeal (I'm old), but I never knew there was an official name for it. Now, I'm wondering if all of this society isn't suffering from a form of this--except for a few who simply will not bend over and grab their ankles. We have to let them know that we do not fear them. They smell fear a mile away and they feed on it. Thanks for the name dropping. Rupert I had heard of, but the other two are new to me.

btw people

I view 911 and so should you as an intelligence issue. IE: An intelligent person should be able to look at this event and smell the stink of it.

What you say, my government isn't capable or would never do that!

Do some fucking research!!!Turn off the TV and stop listening to that corporate news garbage. There is one thing you need to understand,

OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T LIKE US VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

Do your homework I shouldn't have to explain these things to you. KATRINA(cough)

HolyMoly-
Let me throw out three names that deal with the elite and their evil plans

One more thing,

Bush and his ILK are not atheists but PAGAN's

not that PAGAN's are bad mind you, But they( Bush and co) have used and abused the sacred knowledge passed from the ancients for a LONG time now.

(listen to Michael Tsarion on this issue at google video)

This is not just a USA issue. Britain has not escaped this elite bunch of rulers either. Do you think it was just a "coincidence" that the British government was involved in "war games" on the very trains that were bombed in London on 07/07 just as Dick Cheney was conducting "war games" on 9-11? These criminals are so smug they get in your face with their crimes just to let you know they can kill whomever they want and blame it on "Islamic terrorists." Funny, but the "terrorists" always have ties to the intelligence agencies of each country--do the research. This info is in all the mainstream news for one who has an eye to see. Bush is only a "bottom feeder" in the sense that he takes his orders from the monied elite. They have declared war on their citizens and have eroded our personal liberties all in the name of "fighting terror" and then they sit back and laugh at us as they make perpetual war, getting richer off defense contracts, and as they expand the empire around the world. Would that Britain and Spain and other countries were not involved. But every time there is a "terrorist" attack, the intelligence service of each country seems to know the perps pretty darn well. In fact, they seemed to be paid assets--usually patsies. They just keep using the same old tactics every time. Oswald worked for the intelligence community for years--you don't think someone can "defect" to the Soviet Union and then just as easily "undefect" do you? Oswald looked around all dumbfounded after his arrest and said "I'm a patsy." I believe him. If you will search the news reports relating to terrorists attacks in the U.S., Britain, and Spain, you will find similar patterns. Why change a method if it works so well. Do you really think a guy in a cave caused NORAD to stand down on 9-11? Do you think a guy in a cave could have "pulled" WTC Building 7--when it takes days to set explosives in a building to demolish it--or do you believe that WTC 7 collapsed from a couple of fires? At least they did a surgical bring down of the buildings--only World Trade Center Buildings came down and the guy who owned the lease collected $7 billion in insurance (Silverstein)--how convenient! I don't know how much of this "trickle down economics" got to Bush--but the elite faired pretty good on 9-11. The airlines made out like bandits, the Neocons got their "New Pearl Harbor" and Haliburton and the private mercenaries have gotten richer, richer, and richer. We are told that we need national ID cards, police-state tactics, even as our borders remain totally unguarded. Do you really think if there were a bunch of terrorist after us, they would have any trouble crossing into this country? Of course not. But all the so-called terrorists always have official visas, official connections, and official protection. Bush may, indeed, be a bottom feeder, but there are some folks at the top eating mighty high on the hog as the old timers used to say. Solving these crimes is like solving any others: motive, opportunity, and means. A guy in a cave (a paid CIA asset, BTW) could not have done all of this. It took a conspiracy at the highest levels. So yes, I am a conspiracy theorist--I believe two or more people conspired to bring down the WTC, and I don't think it was a bunch of guys with box cutters.

For the most secretive government in US history... a quote from Robert A Heinlein from "Revolt in 2100" written in 1939 about a religious dictatorship in the US that took over about the year 2000....

"I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... censorship. When any government, or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects; 'this you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives"

Heinlein originally wrote a book of fiction...

Hey, it's Sunday morning. Take your meds and go back to sleep. Atilla (sic) is on his way indeed.

A bottom feeder is probably one of the most important fish in the pond. It cleans up all the crap that filters down after all the other fish have eaten their way through the food chain. The rest of the feeders eat the choicest grub eating what they want and letting the entrails fall where they may, leaving it for the "Bottom Feeders" to clean up.
If we are all so hell bent on impeaching the President, than we had better be ready to recall most of the congress and senate who knowing full well the info available to all of them made the decision to back the President in his decision to invade Iraq.
I seem to recall that our president told us that the job to hold a united front against terrorism would be a long and drawn out proposition, and that we would have to harden ourselves to the realities of this new type of terrorist war.
This Al-Queda war of attrition is not unlike the Protestant and Catholics of Northern Ireland. I seem to recall innocent lives being snuffed out by both sides of that most disagreeable specticle. The best part of the fray was that the Irish combatants could come to America and draw funds and support extending their little spat that continued to spill over into the general populace.
Girt up thy loins, get hold of your nuts people and get behind the president in this war against a fanatical and radical extremist enemy who with wholesale misguided vengeance destroy himself and his own to reap havoc upon those that stand in the way of the Al-Queda goal of not subjugation but annialation of all those that dare to differ from them in their personal and wickedly destructive interpretation of the Moslem holy book, the Koran.
But maybe you all are right, maybe the president and his cabal are just heartless
evil doers, and his cronies, our bandwagon representatives, were all just a bunch of uninformed misguided fools who believed in the might of America's mighty arsenal and high tech soldiers in defeating a bunch of barefoot radicals.
Well these barefoot radicals seem to have more steel in their little fingers than the entire spineless population of the United States, with the exception of those that have hardened their resolve to see this endeavor through.
When the going gets tough, the rats desert the ship. The enemy knows this too, he keeps informed on the internet and he knows full well that if he can inflict enough damage, hell, he will kill 100 of his own, sending them on to paradise, in order to kill just one more American soldier because he knows that the majority of the american population are a bunch of crybaby wimps and they will insist on running away.
Get with the program folks, Atilla is on his way. Nip this virulent growth in the bud, or our children will be facing a more hidious monster in their future.

A-Man L.M.

P.S. Happy birthday Mr. President, we bottom feeders support you.

It couldn't happen to a nicer person!!!!! As far as a lot of us were concerned, he never had an ounce of crediability after he deliberatly stole the election in 2000! It was obvious then he was a liar, cheat and theif! We were in for a rough ride with this charlatan. He made it clear then he had no respect for the laws of this country or the people either one. All he was going to do was drag us in the gutter where he dwells. All I can say, I hope he provides a lesson for most American's. Look further into a the man's character that you give your vote too! Just because he mouths all of the Christian rhetoric doesn't make him a upright person! I have grown very cynical when it comes to holier than thou Christian's. Most I have come across are very immoral people. They don't have a clue what is right and wrong. They pay lip service to all the Christian trappings but never on any occasion practice them. They will stab you in the back a whole lot quicker than a atheist will. Most atheist's I have come across have more moral's than that!

Let's see Bush for what he really is: A handpicked "face" of the corporate-driven NeoCON movement. Is Bush a really a stupid guy? Maybe. Does that matter? No. He doesn't make decisions (he's not really the "decider" koo-koo-ka-choo) he's a puppet. A farce. A face. A fall guy. The "look at how incompetent this guy is, you can't blame 9/11 or the millions of casualties in Iraq, Afganistan, or New York on us. We're stooooooooopid!" Do a little research. Google WTC7 and the Franklin cover-up. You will start to get a clue that this is far more dark and far more reaching than you could have thought possible.

Bush isn't any more religious than the Man in the Moon. He pretends to be, goes to church sometimes for photo ops of him exiting the church, and uses Gawd just like he used 9/11 in order to get support and votes from the fearful and gullible. It works with the dumbed-down population. Religion is supposed to be about kindness and compassion. None of the Bush administration fit that description.

Actions speak louder than words. He's killed probably a million or more innocent people because of greed.

Scarecrow,

How can Bush possibly trust atheists when his rant is always addressed to the ones who mutually trust him: The religious fundamentalists and evangelicals.

One good thing about atheists: If they pick up a gun shoot someone in the ass, they cannot claim, "God told me."

I agree with you, Bush is an atheist, so may be those around him. But those around him have a lot more in common with him than just being atheists.

After more than 5 long years of activism, and building progressive media, building a slim democratic majority in congress, we have our first victory.

We actually made a war criminal feel a bit sad and lonely.

Congrats all around!!!

Scarecrow wrote: "Stop taking my comments out of context. Shame on you.

"Birds of a feather" was the point. Ask Rove if he believes in God, for God's sake. Ask Cheney, too, while you're at it. There is nothing "most-despised" except George W Bush, who USES religion and, thus, suckers the flock."

No, Scarecrow, shame on you for engaging in a naked appeal to prejudice. You could have critiqued Bush's manipulation of religion without dumping on atheists.

And yes, atheists are the most despised minority in the US. Please cease with the inability to fess up to an error. It's an uncomfortable reminder of ... someone.

Jeff Moehring said it well. Many, many Americans are complicit in the disaster of the past six years.

Those who allowed themselves to be terrified by the 'terrorist threat', and bullied into submission are just as guilty as the Administration doing the bullying.

In particular, the media, CNN at the head of the pack, have frittered away every opportunity to inform the nation about the true state of affairs. We now see a few glimmers in the media of what was common knowledge years ago in the alternative media about the Iraq invasion and occupation.

When will America build some courage and start behaving like the good nation they keep telling everyone they are?

In a supposedly democratic system this is also the legacy of its people. He has done quite well as befitting a successor to a long list of phonies and misfits of this current era in American politics.

Claudius, what you mean?

I love the idea of bush being lonely, and feeling lame. I laughed out loud thinking about this and that old saying "what if you threw a party and NOONE came".

bush's (the "b" should never be capitalized) legacy is death and destruction. He need not worry about it, it is fixed.

Evelyn,

Got your back.

BcdErick,

Why don't you go back to playing with your fellow bedwetters at Faux news!

BcdErick, I hate to break it to you, but not dealing with reality is a universal human failing. But it doesn't look like you're ready for that reality. Illusions can be comforting. You're seeing this as a problem with one group of people is itself what you accuse others of, not dealing with reality.

Hmm...bottom feeder...it has a nice, hopeless, pointless ring to it, doesn't it? From now on, when I see Bush on the telly, I'll just picture him with a giant shrimp for a head!

Some more attractions for BushWorld...the basement area. For a few dollars more, you could have your picture taken with a pile of naked men ( you know you want to!), or kick in the door of an Iraqi family and terrorize the occupants.
Maybe on cold days, they could have a bookburning and then burn a witch at the stake while reading from the Bible (King James, of course, not those godless wannabes). Just a thought. Oh, and for food, we all get to eat crow for this fiasco, and then a dish of humble pie, all while watching a film of the elction of 2004 that got this empty suit reelected.
At the end, we are each belted in the gut before we go out the door, and denied health insurance by a smiling woman with a clipboard and a Bush/Cheny button on her lapel. Can't wait to not go there!

Russ: "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."

Truly noble sentiments. But ,with respect , it has to be a very tall order even for the Almighty. In all probability, prevailing over His " opposite number" might well be far easier.

That said , this lack of humility is not confined to the US . In fact it seems a trait endemic to the whole of the Western world. Unbridled power and prosperity can warp the souls of even the purest in heart .

Wonder if this overweening hubris isn't the second coming of that apple ,in that tree ,in that garden.

No carnac, you were speaking to me, I didn't vote for Bush either, but I didn't see the dark clouds coming and just recently woke up. I'm working on it now and wish I'd heard from and listened to people like you years ago, instead of the loud mouth, brain washed idiot types I just wrote to in as nice a way as I possibly could. I should just ignore it,___ but why? He or she may wake up too.

BcDErick. He looked a hell of a lot better four years ago and you are right he don't care about the war in Iraq or anything else of impotance. Reality! You brain washed dipshit.

Reality is, we've killed about a million innocent people and over 3,500 of our troops. Our military is busted, our economy is busted, our credability with most nations is busted and our Constitution is busted, our freedoms are gone and you write some dumb ass shit like that.

Evelyn:
Never voted for the Idiot-In-Chief. Opposed the stupid invasion of Iraq. Wrote and phoned to Congressmen, Senators, newspapers. Carried signs. Marched in the street. And sent packages of hopefully useful stuff to our guys there who were and are made to take part in this farce. Spoke out at public meetings. Contributed money to opponents of the cabal. Did what I could do. I earned my creds, for whatever good it did. Your own contributions are known to you.
I think that the bandwagon against Bush, while commendable, is largely comprised of people who have been silent for the past several years and only now find the "courage" to speak. If you are one of those who has been speaking out for some time, my message is not addressed to you. I write about the hypocrites who have, in all this time, not tried to do anything, and who have assisted us all into this bad place. This includes not only common citizens, but the elected officials who now are abandoning the sinking ship in efforts to be re-elected.
And guess what? They will be.

The next step for this dispot is clear.
Release another "911 Product" on America.
Only this time they won't care that we know they did it.

Any time these war-loving, war-profiteering criminals want to start a war with a country, all they have to do is attack the U.S. and blame it on Iran or another country with valuable resources that the thugs want. They'll probably have Israel's Mossad do it.

Incidentally, in the above picture Bush looks like something a bottom feeder would feed on. He has never looked "extremely well." LOL

There's nothing like a good ole war to rescue the lonely when he's down and out. Don't put anything past Bush and Cheney, the supreme contemporary criminals. They will attack Iran. The hubris has already started. The lapdog press is sounding the alarms about Iran. War will happen before Bush leaves office. Then??? It's anyone's guess. Another US government-sponsored terrorist attack in the US, marshal law, cancelation of the 2008 election, suspension of the Constitution, military control of civilian agencies (FEMA) , full implementation of fascist rule in the US, World War lll. The laws have all been passed by a useless congress to turn the US into the USSR of A.......permanently (while ignorant masses were all watching American idol).

At least near half voted for Bush carmac.
If we are gonna toss rocks, I see where
You put a lot of you's ya'll's and your's in your blog, tell us how about you, did you do anything, or are you in your catagory too? Just wondered? I have a great deal of doubt many here voted for Bush and or don't do anything except write blogs. Perhaps you were speaing for you? What you think? Maybe a few weees and meees or ussess and such?___ Fair?

Tar. Feathers. Rope.

After WWII, it was just about impossible to find any Germans who admitted to being Nazis. "No, not me, nope, I was always against them!"
Watch: After Bush and his ilk are gone, try finding anyone who voted for him and supported him. Actually, try now. "Nope, not me; I was always against them."
My Fellow Americans: Y'all got yourselves into this mess. Live with it. You have gotten what you deserve. From the Presidency down to the Congress and local state representatives, they all come from you, the people.
(Cry of horror: No, not me, not me, I was always against etc etc etc)What have you done, yourself, to stop the insanity, apart from posting in blogs?
Maybe next election you can get off your fat butts and do better. But somehow, I doubt it. When last did you vote? When last did you speak out in the street? What have you done about all this? Maybe someone will come and make everything right?
What have you done? YOU created George Bush, and your denials are worthless.
Meanwhile, humans are dying, ours and theirs, for nothing.
Look in the mirror, and have a nice day.

Claudius, I have a very very bad feeling about it.___ There must be something that congress can do, in spite of the recent Suprene court ruling.

"Everyone"____ read today's article, The king can do no wrong. It doesn't matter if Bush is impeached and the senate upholds it. He can legaly ignore it.

Evelyn Smith,
Hi there. Hope all is good with you.
From your posting I gathered that you were in SAC.
So was I, in the early-mid 70's.
I'm curious to know more about the red alert thing during Nixon's melt down.
I was still in tech school at that date I believe.
my email, should you prefer to go that route is:
jlmoehring@mindspring.com

all the best

The White House yesterday expressed disappointment, saying it had hoped the senators would not go public with their frustration before September, when the army and others report back on whether Mr Bush's "surge" strategy is working.

Fascinating when I STILL hear statements like this. We have not heard the truth concerning the condition of Iraq since the onset of the invasion. Who thinks that the September report will be truthful?

If the report is negative it may be a definite indication that they will use Bush as a scapegoat and bury him. Yeah, it's all Bushes fault isn't it? Seems like Bush was the patsy all along.

patsy |ˈpatsē| noun ( pl. -sies) informal a person who is easily taken advantage of, esp. by being cheated or blamed for something.

Let's hope he doesn't try to redeem his place in history with some kind of "hail Mary" Double or nothing attack/war or something similarly despicable to play to our fear-patriotism.

Hopefully wiser hands in the Military are prepared to be real patriots

Peace

Evelyn,

I am afraid you are right. In so many words, if Brauchli is right, yes we are f#$%ed. Voters did the worst thing possible - they gave a totally incompetent political adolescent power and a veto pen. I think we had better get used to bowing to the king (as repulsive as it sounds).

RE: MR. BUSH'S LONELY TRANSPORT PLANE VIGIL

"Mr Bush cuts a lonely figure, holed up in the White House fretting over his legacy."

Hello, Mr. Bush, sir? I am sorry to call you when you are feeling lonely, but you said to report mission accomplished. I killed the lights when the transport plane came in with all them aluminum boxes in 'em. Just like you told me, sir. They was a journalist, but we took care of her. An' the guys in military mortuary, they found a enemy body to go with that head and foot in one body bag, sir. It's all very top secret mission for america, just like you said. I did good, huh, sir? I love you, sir.

I would like to say it's easier to reach someone through kindness than it is through hostility and hatred. I used to be a fool who believed what Bush was saying about Iraq. Now I have come to believe I like many others have been duped.

Many people have come to see how blind we were, but we need to reach more.

We need to reach out to people and get them to take a look at the information that's out there. If we approach people in a kind and calm manner we can persuade them to watch a movie like "Why We Fight" or if we get really lucky Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 911.

If you have any conservative or moderate friends who aren't aware of these films make a difference by being kind and calm and get them to watch one. Kindly post on a conservative blog to hear the other side out before passing judgment, and to give "Why We Fight" a chance.

We need as many people as possible to know what Bush and Cheney are really all about. That's the only way we can fight the Bush empire.

If you want to see what Bush can legally do, and it's a very serious article, log on today's titled,["The King Can Do NO Wrong"]

If I read it correctly, Us Americans are in more and deeper doo-doo than we thought or believed. It won't matter if he is impeached, he can legally ignore it and stay the course. Nancy may be right after all. Damn!!

Who said that Bush does not believe in GODD? Yes, he does. It is even a powerful one with double D. Read it : G for Gold, O for oil, D for Drugs, D for Destruction. His GODD is shared by all his buddies especially those decision-makers who dictate decisions to him and make him believe that he is The Decider.

Hot off the presses folks. The latest from Robert Greenwald:

Brave New Worlds, "The Evidence for Impeachment Against Dick Cheney":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEzPVP6EVRk

Enjoy! (?) And pass it along!!

"Scarecrow wrote: "The people he trusts the most are atheists."

Good grief! What Bush-like primary certitude and cowardice when dumping on the most-despised minority."

Stop taking my comments out of context. Shame on you.

"Birds of a feather" was the point. Ask Rove if he believes in God, for God's sake. Ask Cheney, too, while you're at it. There is nothing "most-despised" except George W Bush, who USES religion and, thus, suckers the flock.

GWB can just go to Hell.

Oh, I guess he's taken care of that already!

So its up to us to have him held to account in this world first.

"Scarecrow wrote: "The people he trusts the most are atheists."

No, I think you'll find they're Satanists.

I wanted to suggest that bottom-feeder could denote one who feeds from people's bottoms, and then came this whopper from an "ally."

Scarecrow wrote: "The people he trusts the most are atheists."

Good grief! What Bush-like primary certitude and cowardice when dumping on the most-despised minority.

Break out the violins. Sometimes a person's worst enemy is oneself. No tears for this one.

Well, I guess Bush just solved the energy crisis for us. With all the truthful books on shelves replaced with the 'approved' versions of "THe Book of Bush", we should have plenty to fuel our autos & homes with.

I can picture it now…as a man pulls up to a fuel station:

"What'll you have, Mac, regular or lined?", the attendant asks.

To which American Mac replies, "Actually, this thing was designed to run on regular un-lined pages. The price is lower because there is an abundance caused by the signing statement forbidding anything but the "Book of Bush" on the history shelves."

"What kind of mileage do you get per page?, queries the attendant.

"Oh, I dont'know," says American Mac, "the BushCo people claim they get better mileage by burning the Constitution & Bill of Rights, but I find I get more fire from Keith Olberman Special Commentaries; what do you think?"

"Couldn't care less", replies the wise attendant over his shoulder as he casually walks away, "I've got a home windmill & an electric car!"

Bush and company will write their own history. You folks will just have to eat it.

Let him, his friends, and those who want to waste time agonize over his legacy. Let those who are still paying attention put ourselves to the work of how we'll prevent whoever steps into all the additional power the presidency now has acquired from following through on the agenda of billionaire U.S.A. Bush hasn't gotten what is largely a free pass because the democrats have been doing their jobs. Face front.

Our system of checks and balances seems broken, would that our legislature would accept that is so and vote to join the World Court. It does appear this mess is too much for the citizens of our country to deal with, some realists are going to be required.

Bakinun, good points. The night before Nixon resigned, SAC went on red alert for about three hours and we didn't know why. I can assure you, there were a lot of high ranking individuals out on the flightline at the base I was stationed at, who were as scared as we were on the final day of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Is it possible that Bush is unstable?

Does a cat lick it's butt, is a pigs ass pork? Do bears poop in the woods? The answers are___ yes.

Not stone abbybwood, gold. It could read, ___Bush listened to God___ and his god was spelled___ CHENEY.

You're right on target Scarecrow.

I was just pondering the Bush Library in Crawford.

No books. Why bother? Well, maybe Brezinski's book "The Grand Chessboard"?? Nothing like a little NEOCON claptrap to set the tone for the tour.

On to the movie theater to go in and watch "Zeitgeist", "Loose Change" and the tear-jerker documentary by "The Jersey Girls", "9/11 Press for Truth"....all about 9/ll. Those are good for a laugh.

Then onto the "torture" exhibit. Wow!! Just to think of what they could do with THAT one! Waterboarding...(how DO they do that???...."Simulated" drowning...), and I love the line from Cheney on torture..."It's not really "torture" unless there's pain caused by ORGAN DEATH. Love it!! God!! Makes you so proud, doesn't it? Maybe a few snarling dogs just for kicks.

After those two exhibits, guess we'd all be ready for a little refreshment, no? How about some great GMO food? Frankenfood!! Does a body good!! Hope there's plenty of aspartame in the drinks!

Oh! How could I forget!!? The War in Afghanistan and Iraq! Those would be two great exhibits. Just like Disneyland! We can get in a row boat and paddle out afterward into a sea of BLOOD!!!

Man, oh man.

And the "piece de resistance"! The shredding of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution! I can just see some cute Hooters type gal there shredding the documents. Oh well. Easy come, easy go. They're all just "Goddamned pieces of paper" anyhow, right?

How about a room where we can look through a tiny peep hole and see some strange men discussing the money supply? The Federal Reserve!! Maybe their wives and girlfriends could be dancing around in fur coats dripping in diamonds with the downtrodden of the world reaching up and getting nothing! And in the background is the whir, whir, whir sound of the printing presses creating all the fiat money we can borrow at INTEREST!! Yippy-kayay! I LOVE that part!

And as we leave we'll be handed all the stupid Bush quotes. We've seen them before, right? Like when he was at a press conference, I believe pre-the Iraq war and someone asked, "What did Saddam Hussein have to do with the attack on the World Trade Centers?!", and Bush said, "Nothing!" Duh!!!

Now, THERE'S a legacy for you.

P.S. This design isn't in stone yet! We're up for any suggestions! How about "The Impeachment/Indictment" room? Nah. Too much trouble.

According to Monkey Boy, we are still trying to figure out if George Washington was a good president or not -- his point being no one knows at the present time if he himself has been a good president. According to George Bush, no one will know for decades or centuries from now. So what does he care -- he won't have to live with the consequence of all the damage he's done.

Yup, we're so stupid that we can't tell that it's obvious he's the worst president ever. He might even be the best (gag, barf).

Paraquay, the perfect fit. From the CIA World Fact
Book:

Paraguay:

unruly region at convergence of Argentina-Brazil-Paraguay borders is locus of money laundering, smuggling, arms and illegal narcotics trafficking, and fundraising for extremist organizations

Illicit drugs:

major illicit producer of cannabis, most or all of which is consumed in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile; transshipment country for Andean cocaine headed for Brazil, other Southern Cone markets, and Europe; corruption and some money-laundering activity, especially in the Tri-Border Area; weak anti-money-laundering laws and enforcement

This line bothers me "Michael Conaway, a still loyal senator and long-time friend, said the president appeared to be worn down by the pressure and spoke of "a marked difference in his physical appearance"."
So with bush falling apart cheney declares bush incapacitated, incapable of ruling (like he could anyway) and takes over. Frightening thought but I wouldn't put anything past these disgusting people.

To Restore Democracy: You mention that some Nazi's were given refuge in Latin America? You mean, like Paraguay...where the Bush dynasty has bought up about 15,000 acres of land over one of the biggest water aquifers on the planet??

BTW, let's not forget Halibut! They are my "favorite" bottom-feeding fish!!!

A cynic will tell you that 'history is lies written by the winners' so how Bush will be remembered by historians depends entirely on how this all pans out. Had Hitler prevailed we Europeans would be used to walking down 'Hitler Street' in all our cities, watching gushing documentaries about his childhood on TV and enjoying our barbecues on the April 20th public holiday 'Hitler Day'.

Perhaps a better example would be how US historians currently regard Reagan. The 'Gipper' is treated favourably, the president who put pride back in America, made America strong, spread 'freedom and democracy' throughout Central America and so on. There was even a campaign to get him carved on Mt Rushmore. Iran/Contra is downplayed or ignored, the traitorous deal with Iran to keep the hostages until after the '79 election a distinct piece of 'non-history'. The fact that we know that his Alzheimer's had started less than half-way through his second term, and that in the last year he was often unaware of where he was, and was partially incontinent goes down the same memory hole lest the myth be sullied.

Reagan was the vehicle used to launch the fascist (Neo-Con) take-over (Thatcher in the UK) and as they are still in full control we can see tomorrow's history of Bush being written now on a daily basis. His 'vision' of 'spreading democracy', his 'strong commitment to freedom' and so on. Until such time as the Neo-Con cancer is cut out and destroyed that will be how Bush is remembered by historians (at least the ones you get to read).

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). Go on speaking tours? Do me a favour, he can barely string three words together! Be invited onto the boards of blue chip corporations? With his business record? No, apart from drinking and torturing kittens he's going to have a lot of time on his hands I reckon.
