Dumb as a Fox
Completely emotional response, but our current president scares the crap out of me. What is even worse is that he allows a perception of incompetence to carry him through the Presidency of the United States. For a second term.
He has allowed cronies to lead us into a morass of war and social destitution from which it will take a damn long time to recover.
This week a teacher was suspended for speaking about the President in a non-flattering light. He proposed for discussion that the most recent State of the Union speech had similarities in tone to some things said by Adolf Hitler. One of the students was offended, but even this student's parents didn't want the teacher disciplined quite like this.
What if the teacher's point is well taken? What if I am right? Where does that leave us with two more years of Bush presidency? More Valerie Plames; more Chief Justices; more war; more corruption investigations; more government agencies unwilling or unable to do their jobs in times of emergency.
How many more military, economic and natural disasters would it take before the American people had enough of this nonsense?
When will there be enough hungry, tired and poor to riot in the streets? How long until we call for an investigation of what GW knew about 9/11 and when? What if he is culpable? What if he engineered it to cement his second term momentum? What if he, and his father, have had this agenda in process all this time since Desert Storm, and are playing it out per their own playbook for friends in the Oil industry?
The discomfort level is so high any more, when you cannot believe anyone (we knew that), but also that the apparent incompetent act is just that, an act, to make him seem less guity and responsible for what happens?
You can love your country and not like your government. That is how I feel. But every time I hear more about inner workings about our government, I get a sick feeling that we are reeling toward even more death, more destruction, and of course, the obligatory lying to the American people.
Man, if I only had some answers, i don't know if I would feel better - but without them I am lost.
