G.W. Bush & The Politics of Darkness (LTE)

[BayStateBoy]

Intelligence and morality must be equal partners in public policy, otherwise we are doomed to tragic misadventures. Sadly, the Bush Administration has no demonstrable "learning curve," and by word and deed the "Politics of Darkness" prevails.

Thousands of Americans, including young children,will perish because corporate greed and political apathy have deprived millions of needed flu vaccines. It truly is a national disgrace that could potentially kill as many Americans this winter as died during the Vietnam War.

Few drug companies invest in vaccine production because of the comparatively low profit margins. One US drug company outsourcing to England contaminated millions of vials and were shut down by the Brits. The problem is corporate greed and political pandering, not lawyers and lawsuits.

"FluGate" is a valid political issue and the poster child for Bush’’s failed leadership and corporate pandering. This crisis was predictable and totally preventable if Bush had been interested in protecting the safety of the American people. The shipment of 2.6 million doses of flu vaccine in January is too little, too late. American needs at least 40 million doses right now.

The Bush Myth Machine always refuses to admit error or responsibility as it belches smoke in a charade of Christian and family values. Bush has been selling himself like a Snake Oil Salesman with considerable success among unthinking voters who judge his words but ignore his actions which are neither Christian or competent.

Whether Americans will continue to swallow these Washington “bird droppings” is unclear. What is clear is that Bush was "asleep at the switch" on 9/11; he didn't protect us then and he's definitely not protecting us now. His administration will be infamous for Big Deficits, Big Business, Big Divisions, Big Government, a Big Vietnam in Iraq, a Big Mess at home, and burgeoning funeral home businesses. The real "wolves" are already in the White House.

1. Bad Monkey

Our illustrious commander-in-thief has everything from the script of "Outbreak" to Black Friday on his desk. His nature of laziness, incompetence, and cruelty (yes, cruelty, his college associates can tell you all about it) are hallmarks of a man gone wrong. His family worked closely with people who later attacked this country. The pseudo-religion he subscribes to will come crashing down in rants of cursing and tongues. As for corporate greed, his supporters have managed to "privatize" government to the point of a corrupt firm, Sproul and Associates, tossing Democratic registration in several states. His policy of Jim Crow For The World has every other nation of people angry at us and has justified and strengthened every anarchist, tyrant, and dictator the world over. We are headed for a crash of epic proportions under his administration (its not just him). Somehow I doubt that the verses about being wary of false prophets in the end times is included in his (per)version of religion.
