George W Bush: Unintelligent Design
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 11:08 AM by Octafish
Something to mail to your conservative "friends"...



From The Toronto Star:



What Boneheaded
Design Guides
Dubya's Moves?


By Linwood Barclay
The Toronto Star
8-28-5
 
How does one explain all the misguided, unwise, sometimes outright boneheaded things the Bush administration has done since taking over nearly five years ago, and continues to do on a pretty much daily basis? How is it possible for a group of supposedly intelligent, experienced individuals to take this many wrong turns? Wouldn't you think that once in a while, even by accident, that George W. Bush and his advisers would make a decision that made sense?
 
Can this much mismanagement happen totally at random? Would the occupants of the Bush White House have us believe that all these things, these missteps, these miscalculations, these attempts to deceive, that they all, you know, just kind of happened?
 
I'm not so sure. And I'm not the only one starting to ask questions. More and more, it seems unlikely that mere human beings could make this many mistakes without some sort of misguiding force, a kind of supernatural entity that has trouble remembering where it put its car keys.
 
That's where unintelligent design comes in.
 
Once one embraces the concept of unintelligent design - a kind of doofus-like cosmic force - it becomes much easier to get your head around the operations of the Bush administration.

6. The nicest thing I can say about him: "Bush is a Crook."
All the evidence indicates the little turd from Crawford is nothing more than a psychotic NAZI despot out to loot the world's treasure, kill all who oppose him and enslave the survivors in a Brave New World Feudalism. Here's a short list of George W Bush's criminal connections.



To see evidence of arch-criminality, let's just look what Smirk has done in business:



From "George W Bush, the Dark Side"

EXCERPT...

Bush Jr. has made a lot of money off of three business deals. In each one, his contribution is hard to perceive, yet he walked off with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in deals arranged by his father's political cronies. The deals were:

1. the sale of Junior's struggling oil company,
2. Junior's sale of oil stock just before the Gulf War, and
3. getting a cheap slice of the Texas Rangers baseball team, which he sold in 1999 for a huge profit (he paid $600,000, and sold for $14 million).

The general pattern here is just as important as the details. Bush did no work in his business career that can clearly be called "excellent" or even "solid." The money he made is tangential to his efforts at best -- the oil companies lost a great deal of money during his tenure, and the Rangers cut a lot of corners -- which makes the cronyism that much more suspicious.

It's not just that one or two of Bush's deals look funky; every major business deal he has been involved with included wealthy supporters of his father, and many of those investors later received favorable treatment from either the federal government under Bush, Sr. or the current Texas administration of Junior.

Let's look at his brothers:



Jeb, Marvin & Neil - 3 Profiteering Bush Brothers

Its time to take a closer look at First Brothers, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, and see how much they stand to benefit from W's presidency and his perpetual war on the world.

First, there's brother Marvin. He's the quietest member of the Bush clan. Marvin is co-founder and partner in Winston Partners, a private investment firm. In turn, Winston Partners is part of a larger firm called the Chatterjee Group.

Here's where it gets complicated. Marvin is obviously the family member with a sound criminal mind. He has managed to bury almost all the evidence of his profiteering profits inside a host of corporations and entities, with many being located offshore. Its not easy to track the money through such a tangled web. But it can be done.

SEC filings show that the Chatterjee Group consists of Winston Partners, LP; Chatterjee Fund Management, LP; Winston Partners II LDC, a Cayman Islands-based company; Winston Partners II LLC; Chatterjee Advisors LLC; Chatterjee Management Company; Mr. Chatterjee himself; and Furxedown Trading Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Isle of Man. The address for Winston Partners II LDC is in the Netherlands Antilles. The other subsidiaries were organized in Delaware

THIS GOES THROUGH THE PRESENT DAY AND PAST THE PAST. MIND YOU THESE ARE JUST THE BROTHERS...



Let's look at Poppy (one small bit of criminality, for him; treason, to the United States):

The Family that Preys Together

EXCERPT...

The Harken deal with Bahrain raises another troubling question: Did the Bahrainis and the BCCI-linked Saudi oil sheikhs use the production sharing agreement with Harken to curry favor with the Bush administration and influence U.S. policy in the Middle East? Talat Othman's sudden rise to prominence in Bush administration foreign policy circles is a case in point. Othman, who sits on the Harken board as Sheikh Bakhsh's representative, didn't have access to President Bush before Harken's Bahrain agreement. "But since August 1990, the Palestinian-born Chicago investor has attended three White House meetings with President Bush to discuss Middle East policy," the Wall Street Journal pointed out. "His name was added by the White House to a select list of 15 Arab-Americans chosen to meet with President Bush, Sununu and National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft in the White House two days after Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait."

2. Wow...this guy is so totally on the money
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 10:59 AM by Greylyn58
I love his words "Unitelligent Design" and "doofus-like cosmic force". This is so Shrub and his cabal. I wish some of the MSM around here would spout some of this wisdom!

I love it.

7. Theocratic Dominionists Agree: Bush is just what the Order Ordered
Some prey, I mean, pray there MUST be unintelligent design.

Ever notice the similarities between certain countenances?





Theocratic Dominionism Gains Influence

by Frederick Clarkson

Part 1

Overview and Roots

The Christian Right has shown impressive resilience and has rebounded dramatically after a series of embarrassing televangelist scandals of the late 1980s, the collapse of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, and the failed presidential bid of Pat Robertson. In the 1990s, Christian Right organizing went to the grassroots and exerted wide influence in American politics across the country.

There is no doubt that Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition gets much of the credit for this successful strategic shift to the local level. But another largely overlooked reason for the persistent success of the Christian Right is a theological shift since the 1960s. The catalyst for the shift is Christian Reconstructionism--arguably the driving ideology of the Christian Right in the 1990s.

The significance of the Reconstructionist movement is not its numbers, but the power of its ideas and their surprisingly rapid acceptance. Many on the Christian Right are unaware that they hold Reconstructionist ideas. Because as a theology it is controversial, even among evangelicals, many who are consciously influenced by it avoid the label. This furtiveness is not, however, as significant as the potency of the ideology itself. Generally, Reconstructionism seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of "Biblical Law." Reconstructionism would eliminate not only democracy but many of its manifestations, such as labor unions, civil rights laws, and public schools. Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment beyond such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and murder to include, among other things, blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.

Reconstructionism has expanded from the works of a small group of scholars to inform a wide swath of conservative Christian thought and action. While many Reconstructionist political positions are commonly held conservative views, what is significant is that Reconstructionists have created a comprehensive program, with Biblical justifications for far right political policies. Many post-World War II conservative, anticommunist activists were also, if secondarily, conservative Christians. However, the Reconstructionist movement calls on conservatives to be Christians first, and to build a church-based political movement from there.

For much of Reconstructionism's short history it has been an ideology in search of a constituency. But its influence has grown far beyond the founders' expectations. As Reconstructionist author Gary North observes, "We once were shepherds without sheep. No longer."

3. Bush is not "mismanaging" anything.
As long as you understand he is acting in the financial interests of his family and cronies. His actions are stupid only if you think he is acting on behalf of our country.

5. You are exactly right
If you can conceive something totally implausible... and then believe something totally implausible... then you can achieve something totally implausible which is the way of the conservative party.

9. Welcome to DU!
It all looks like stumbling, bumbling from afar, but when you work for C.H.A.O.S., it is all a part of a well scripted plan to rip off and destroy the Americe we once knew.

8. Good point. What Stupid does is good for Stupid's supporters.
Bushler is Willie Sutton incarnate. As witnessed by Fitzgerald, the independent counsel, and Upton the Congressman, there are more than a few good Republicans. These men and women would side with the law when confronted with evidence of Bush's criminality.



The thing is, we don't have an honest and free press needed to inform the Government and the American People. It's up to us to do their work.

And that is why we must throw all the stuff up and sling it on the warmongering moron until it sticks. And, perhaps one day soon, it will and we'll see chimpeachment.

In the spirit of the fellah who robbed banks because that's where the money is, here's a bit for the pile, by Norman Livergood -- a smart guy who's pegged the crazy monkey from way back:



Bush's Plan to Loot Social Security

By Norman D. Livergood

George W. Bush is telling us that Social Security is in trouble NOW. And you can believe everything he tells you--right?

The Bush junta and Wall Streeters are peddling the Big Lie that Social Security is inevitably going bust.

It is not!

The Social Security System (SSS) runs at a surplus of $100-$120 billion annually and will continue to do so throughout the twenty-first century! THIS IS WHY THE BUSH JUNTA WANTS TO LOOT SOCIAL SECURITY--IT'S WHERE THE BIG MONEY IS!

This trust fund system is one of the few programs set up by the federal government that works. In 1999, SSS received $383 billion in checks, $436 billion in taxes, and an additional $49 billion in interest. Instead of red ink, Social Security made almost $102 billion in profit, to add to the more than $652 billion it had in surplus from previous years.

11. He also looks like a crook.
Who is getting very giddy at the thought of leaving the country with billions of dollars worth of gold bars. He's that out of his mind, and I have to wonder....if even the PNAC leaders who own him know it.
