Introducing the next Saddam Hussein

[HootieMcBoob]

Ladies and Gentlemen! It's deja vu all over again with the hypocritical republicans in the white house.

Mr. Bush himself has said -- in one of his several major speeches about democracy -- that such policies were mistaken. "Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe," the president said two months ago. "In the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."

As always the bullshit runeth over from these people.

1. 60 years of no attacks on our soil

Gee, W! That was a terrible time for us, wasn't it?

[blondeatlast]

2. What color "alert" would the last 60 years qualify as?

Green, or I prefer, null.

3. maybe I should have posted another quote

that quote is supposed to highlight his hypocracy. What's happening is that the U.S. is backing another brutal dictator in an oil rich nation. Just as they did in Iraq. He's doing the opposite of what he's calling for an end to in the quote.

4. Jeesh...

Isn't Bush trying to "purchase stability" at the "expense of liberty" right here in the states ? (Patriot Act)

5. Bunnypants Isn't Smart Enough To Know The Difference...

between stability and "liberty"...especially from his ivory tower. For 60 years greedmongers like him and his ilk have prefered "stability" over liberty since that kept the oil and money flowing. This has lead to the building up and supporting of dictatorships along with the exploitation of the population and natural resources (where available). "Liberty" only comes into play when the stability is upset by someone who doesn't "go-along, get-along"...like Hussein or Noriega. Then these people get demonized and we become "saviors" or some type of arbeiter of "democracy".

The myopic right wing still sees the world in black and white...and can't operate in a world where there isn't a demon, an evil, a peril to keep their flock in constant fear and under control. It took a while, but Islam has replace Communism as that demon and there's years of demons to chase...and be damned if this isn't the distraction these bastards need to hold power.

On edit: Typos...not enough coffee yet. But who cares, nobody reads or responds to my posts anyway.

9. I'm reading you active!

I like what I'm reading too.

8. yup

And that's just the kind of imbecile a lot of people want in the white house. It's mind boggling. Did you hear what that jack ass Dennis Miller said on Leno the other night? He said something like: there are two kinds of leaders - there are chess players and there are checkers players and Bush is a checkers player because he just jumps over everybody and sometimes through dumb luck he ends up doing something that might be good. (I'm paraphrasing wildly here) But, he said that's the kind of leader he preferred. I couldn't believe my ears.

6. Give it about 15 years. He'll disobey orders from Big Oil,

and suddenly we'll all be told that killing this honorary citizen of Texas is worth the lives of our troops. The next Hussein indeed.

This is why it's so pathetic when you see brainwashed people spouting jingoistic bullshit and talking about freedom.
