W keeps saying he would do whatever is required to "keep us safe"

[salin]

spying on citizens... ok if it keeps us safe.

torture - and reclassifying terms used for prisoners to allow torture... that could be used against captured US GIs... ok if it keeps us safe.

starting elective wars based on fraudulent evidence... ok if it keeps us safe.

But there is ONE thing that W thinks is off-bounds... lifting his tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans (or the wealthy oil companies or any other mega corporations)... that is NOT ok, even if it the $ was used to shore up US security to keep us safe.

1. IF it keeps us safe...

Warrants would help keep us safe, but a lack of legal warrants R crimes: since when are crimes keeping anyone safe?

Torture (another crime) never produced any reliable information, especially when being committed against individuals who never did anything wrong (yes, that happens too, and when it does, who's to defend these innocent victims?).

Starting any war against defenseless human beings in order to enrich the already obscenely rich is another crime and it only produces more anger and creates more 'enemies' ('terrahwhists' in this case like others before, re: Vietnam) than reduces their recruiting arguments.

Besides: just walking across the street here doen't keep us safe...



Ed: typos :(

3. I agree.... just using his own mantra

because some folks in the public, still seem to buy it.

2. Please please stop protecting me, George!!

The Bush Administration is more like a protection racket--in reality the protection is a form of assault and exploitation.

4. Maybe we should just start calling it what it is: The Bush Syndicate

rahter than the administration. Plus the WaPo article this morning on the hiring and running of the CPA based on 'loyalty' with no concern with any qualifications rather makes the term "administering/administration" not seem to apply to bushco.

5. If you were going to a gang fight would you pick * to be in your gang?

7. Tell that to the victims of Katrina

that he refused to lift a finger to help.

[yurbud]

8. I think he wants to keep us safe like the gimp in Pulp Fiction--

locked up in a trunk until he needs us.

9. if he were telling the truth our ports and nuclear power plants would have

been properly secured years ago.
