Deep-Rooted Bush Incompetence = Understatement 101
But the incompetence revealed by the response to the hurricane is deep-rooted, and can be traced to the twenty-five-year project, begun in the Reagan era, of discrediting government, "starving the beast" of resources and exalting private markets and faith-based charities. Tax cuts for the wealthy and Congressional corruption have drained government of the imagination and resources to address human needs. Katrina has brutally exposed Americans to the costs of this folly.

2. it's daunting to witness support for bush...
while he's made a virtue of elitism. bully puppet the entire time & vaunted as the inheritor of the reagan revolution; bush can only be seen as the cause celebre for a colossal failure of compassion in government & not it's crusader imo

4. Do you think Dubya cares...or even knows...how harshly history
is going to judge him? He's certainly headed for the history books, but do you think he has any idea that his colossal failure is going to be a black mark on American history for centuries to come? Good grief! If I knew I'd be remembered for centuries as one of the worst presidents - hell - one of the worst *anything* in history, that would be motivation enough to straighten up my act!

5. Yeah, but you have a conscience. You can feel empathy.
You can most likely tie your present actions to others future reactions.

All things this criminal sociopath cannot do..

7. i rather don't think he knows...
listen to anytime the bush's come down form their ivory tower to chastise the world for being mean to their son; and make no mistake, that is just what they are doing, as though on one has a right to criticize they or any of their off spring. they old man is cagey enough to frame the matter in words that appear as though descent may-could be expected but they are intransigent in their belief that the only other 'contribution' they are able to make to this country is to fiddle fuck with it from the top down. the bfee may tout words regarding the end of tyrannical monarch via some form of american poetry or loft, but make no mistake here either; their motto is:

"it is money what equal monarchy ask my daddy he will confirm!!!"

little bush was raised in that environ so that he feels as an extension of his genetic lot, that he is likewise not capable of error.
