I am almost ashamed to admit, I actually do hate Bush. (opinion piece)

[karlschneider]

Yes, I do hate George bush. Mainly, but not exclusively
on a personal and visceral level. I despise his arrogance, his plutocratic persona, his bogus "conservative" principles, his indifference to popular opinion, his disdain for middle-class citizens, his delusions of grandeur and hegemonic adventures, and his non-stop outright and blatent lies. He is a wart on the ass of democracy, an infected chancre filled with the pus of true evil...a man without a shred of integrity and a circulatory system filled with the very oil he tried three times to find, produce and sell, but failed miserably to do any of that after being given, gratis, the means with which to do it.

He is a very bad human who tries to make others believe he is good. And that is far worse than a bad human who admits it. Bush has absolutely no redeeming social, moral, ethical, political or human qualities. I would trust a jackal before I would trust Bush. I would entrust my children to Charles Manson before I would entrust them to this poor excuse for a person.

If he knocked on my front door and offered me a million dollars with "no catch" I would refuse, because there would BE a "catch."

Although I am no longer a Christian, I know perfectly well what a proper adherence to that faith involves and requires. Bush fails every test. And that is truly ironic, because I embrace the teachings of Jesus although I do not consider myself Christian, but Bush who does make the claim violates everything his adopted 'favorite philosopher' taught. He is a hypocrite, a liar, a thief and a pox on our American house.

I want some justice done. I want this awful excuse for a human being to be tried, judged and sentenced for his all too obvious crimes against the earth. This is not vengeance, although I do not exclude some from the realm of appropriate action; it is simply a just and fair response to the evil he has perpetrated against "we the people."

As one who teeters on that wobbly fence between atheism and agnosticism, I do not believe in the existence of Satan, but it seems clear that there are some few people who embody the essence of Satan's
supposed attributes. They are generally not of great moment, causing concern and misery to a few, but George Bush merges true evil with the happenstance of having the ability to unleash a literal Hell on the planet.

Perhaps it is wrong to hate, but one must consider why the concept exists if there is no proper venue in which to exercise it.

1. I agree with every thing you wrote.. Except..

I'm still a Christian. :7

2. Same Here

I'm not nearly as eloquent as you and a few others here, but he has earned the position of one of the two people in the world that shouldn't cross my path for any reason.

He and Regan's policies cost me personally; both in monentary terms and of the life of two people I cared very much for - a Fiance and a Mom. For that, I sincerely hope Neil gives the entire family the HIV virus from his junket to Thailand.

It is wrong to hate, but as much as he and his ilk practiced retroactive birth control within the penal system, I hope he is the first victim of it and/or of the lack of medical research politics have prevented since Regan's reign or the victim of astronomical drug prices it takes to maintain the heart sometimes.

3. Sums my feelings pretty well.

It's not about his political persuation, per se. It's about his absolute lack of character. He's a neer'do well that's traded on his family name to make a buck. It's about his stiffing stockholders to make unearned windfalls. It's about getting a cushy NG opportunity then not fulfilling the obligation....then lying about it. It's about getting your records sealed so people can't really evaluate your character and actions.

He's a pathological liar who's only constituency are the Pioneers and rangers who finance his campaigns. He is the absolute worst person to ever have stumbled into this office.

I'd love to get this lying prick under oath.

4. Actually, we need...

...quite a few more "haters" of Coke-N-Smoke and his NeoCon Junta.

Once we have enough people with the right mindset, that's when the ass-kicking will begin.

It's going to get real ugly before it gets any better.

5. why not tell us how you really feel?

6. I'm pacing myself.

7. Well said.

I agree wholeheartedly. :thumbsup:

8. It's easy to hate Bush. But look to the root of the problem.

Bush is merely an amalgamation representative of far more serious issues within America. Those issues include the reemergence of Social Darwinism as a social/political force and its trickle down to the middle class from the elitist upper class, the political and financial clout of the "Christian" religious right and its choke hold on the Republican Party, the Corporate consolidation of media, the heavy influence that money wields in politics and government, a disdain for education, and and apathetic, fearful attitude towards open public discourse. We can hate Bush, and even give him the boot next year, but all of the aformentioned forces will not lose their power. In fact, they will simply rally together and find more power and even more money to get another puppet back in office within four years, if not sooner.

In other words, Bush is merely one head of this Hydra-like beast that represents the rabid Reactionary Right. Even if we cut that head off, the beast will simply grow another one (Jeb?).

If we are to truly defeat this monster, we are going to have to strike at its very heart. That means initiating a grassroots movement to take back control of the Democratic Party and create new media enterprises to get our views and opinions out to the people, so that we can truly compete against the rabid reactionaries.

Stopping Bush in 2004 will not be enough.

9. Of course you are completely correct. The issues you raise are real and

important, but might be beyond the ken of too many Americans. I believe we need to mount the attack on several fronts (re: the 'hydra')...my little rant was just a barb, intended to rally whoever responds to that sort of rhetoric and prick one small part of the underbelly of the sheep. Your comments show that there are other avenues of offense -and- defense that must be pursued as well!

I was going for the gut. You should go for the head (and I will do that in another different way and at another time so as to affect that part of the beast.)

Brute force is effective against some enemy defenses; logic and truth are equally effective against others. One size doesn't fit all in this battle. ;-)

10. I think everyone here is aware of that. Of course Bush is a focus

for the anger we feel at the corporatists and the greedy rapers of the planet and those bigots who simply hate because they love to hate, like the Fundies.
But he is supposed to be a president but he is simply a cheerleader for hate, greed and murder. He is also just so unlikeable and sleezy and it is so amazingly frustrating that people that describe themselves as sane cannot see it.

You are absolutely right, but I still despise the man.

[dflprincess]

11. I agree with everything you said

though I prefer the word "loathe" . It somehow seems a better word for also expressing my contempt and distaste for the man as well.
