tonie61's Journal (138)

Tuesday November 11, 03
02:17 AM - I’m begging you red staters to know the facts.
Disqualify yourself from the responsibilities of a democracy, a government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system, if you can’t hold up your part of the bargain.

You “expletive deleted” people—you know who you are, either read a newspaper or exclude yourself from taking opinion polls and voting. Put a label on your shirt that takes you off the hook from discharging your greatest responsibility, your hugest right that of voting.

“Some people think I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one”. Think about how quickly and totally 43 get off course. He attacked the country, Iraq, with the least ability to contribute to the bin laden led Islamic extremist attack against the US. If we had continued to elicit the cooperation of the world, in which the US received a tremendous amount of support directly after 9-11, how would this stand now? Maybe instead of losing the Iraq war, we could be working in cooperation with our former allies, including some Islamic ones. This Iraq front, an unnecessary battle, is progressing atrociously-—as Rummy mentioned in his “slog” memo, which also admitted that the US couldn’t kill enough Islamic terrorists to put a dent in the number of new ones that can be turned out.

Suppose instead of attacking a defenseless country we had tried to attack the reasons that Muslim youth are forced, out of desperation of their plight, to become terrorists. Could it have been better for the US and the world if we tried a different tactic? Say we worked together to improve the economic opportunities of these Muslim youth and tried to put an end to the extremist Islamic schools which have been brainwashing children, who possess no economic future, to become jihadists?

We’ll never know, and with the shaping of the discussion in the US by right-wing Christian extremists and PNAC “expletive deleted”, the theory will never be broached.

This unwillingness to become informed of our red state voters has been too obvious by the fact that Dubya is not being lined up for impeachment, and is still very much in the hunt to win re-election. The article, “How to Change the News on Iraq”, by E. J. Dionne Jr. on October 25th, 2003, notes that “The audience for Fox News, as the poll found, is significantly more Republican than the rest of the nation. And sure enough, Fox viewers' attitudes closely match those of Republicans, 55 percent of whom also see the media as portraying the reality in Iraq too negatively. On the other hand, CNN viewers -- and, as it happens, newspaper readers -- held views on reporting from Iraq similar to those of Americans as a whole.”
                       
This cynical GOP manipulation of our intellectually detached US populace is sickening. Yes, a middle-class hero is something to be and it is a noble goal, but our vast red state population, just as Dubya, don’t read newspapers, or even think! Whatever Rove prepared drivel that FOX and Limbaugh et al spew, this vast segment of our unwitting populace accepts. That is dangerous, and the world deserves a better effort from these righteous, disinterested folk--bible thumpers just as Dubya their role model is. He also admitted on Brit Hume’s FOX show, just before his recent UN pitch, that he doesn’t read the papers either. He depends on his information from his yes-men and PNAC masters. Brit Hume must have slipped that question after Rove had prepared his pupil, because Herr mini-me 43 had that deer caught in the headlight look he gets whenever his tele-prompter doesn’t work.

It is hard being the lead-man. This self-proclaimed “leader of the free world who doesn’t do nuances”, this GOP Fuehrer, is too much a lazy frat boy to actually develop his own ideas.

You remember Ken Adelman don’t you? He was the PNAC “expletive deleted” who had the diabolic phrase “mushroom cloud over an American city” patented. What a compilation of hokum about a country that doesn’t appear to have any WMD after all of this time.

On November 9th 2003, on the Hardball show Ken Adelman was quoted as saying that Ansar Al-Islam is Iraq's Al-Qaeda Connection, under the control of Hussein. A few months ago on Meet the Press Cheney said the same tripe. The day after Cheney’s lie on Meet the Press Dubya had to contradict his vp.

Adelman tried it on November 9th 2003 just to see what Chris Matthews would do. He let it slide and his non-insane guest, Eric Margolis stated that it was active in Iraqi Kurdistan, one of the areas in which Hussein had no control. While Eric Margolis was speaking the camera was trained on Adelman who had an evil smirk on his face, which said, “I just said it and because I did the good people will believe me”. You know—it is the expression that Dubya and his PNAC advisors get whenever they are caught in a lie.

Matthews isn’t a right-wing extremist, but he didn’t go out of his way batting Adelman down. That is the problem. Tim Russert isn’t a right-wing extremist either, but Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell and Rice have all gone on his show and lied to the American public without being called on it immediately and forcefully.

On FOX it is different. They aggressively attack people who disagree with the GOP. Tony Snow of FOX NEWS had the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Service Committee, Michigan Senator Carl Levin on. Snow was openly arrogant and antagonist to Levin regarding the Iraq occupation. To Levin’s remark, “We have these jihadists flowing into Iraq now, because now this is a war against the West, which it should not be and cannot be. This has got to be a war against terrorism, and that means that it's got to be universal. It's got to be the world that's involved, not just a few Western nations, because that plays right into the hands of the terrorists who say, "This is a Western effort against an Islamic state."”, Snow responded, “There — as I mentioned before, there are 30 nations. They are not all Western nations. They are scattered across the globe. They've been contributing.”

Snow’s remark was plainly directed at people too uninformed to realize that the US and England have more than 98% of the troops in Iraq.

The Democrats know the score. Too much of our populace doesn’t get any information other than that what is hand fed them through Herr Rove’s propaganda outlets. Levin knew Snow would abuse him, but he had to try to counter the misinformation.

Did you know that never in the history of the world has the superpower conquered the insurgents? The pertinent research is that Russia lost in Afghanistan, as we currently are now with the recent Taliban resurgence, the US lost in Vietnam, and in the near future we will lose in Iraq. Our military might, our “Shock and Awe” weapons, doesn’t work against guerilla warfare tactics. You can’t argue with history--it is just cold, hard facts, and the US populace hasn’t been provided with this knowledge. Dubya is a liar, and recently Republicans such as McCain and Lugar have stated that the administration hasn’t leveled with the US about this war’s cost in money and blood. The PNAC boys have advised their puppet leader to stress the positive aspect of this tragedy. As US soldiers are attacked and killed they have been saying that it is because the US is doing so well. As Senator Daschele has said, “We can’t take more of this progress”.

Cheney and Ari Fleischer, “Be careful, very careful of what you say”. As Steppenwolf has said, “We’ll send out our boys in blue—We’ll find a way to silence you”. Do you doubt it? Big Brother’s Nazi storm troopers, in the guise of the Patriot Act, are already in place.

Discussion

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."
-FDR
