"George" is not the problem. His puppet masters are. Let's get that straight.

"George" is not the problem.
Certainly he is the public face of the problem, but he is NOT THE problem.

it is easy to ridicule a clown such as GWB, but in all seriousness,
what exactly do you suppose will change when he leaves office?

I fear, with all the executive orders he has signed, not written, but signed mind you-

along with the Patriot Act etc...we are in for far worse troubles.

Remember, when he leaves, who ever "the powers that be" install next
will inherit all the powers established thus far.

Sorry- I can't bash the man anymore- he is a clown, no doubt, but really,
have you considered how the focus on him and his idiocy has distracted us from the
REAL threat we face?

I speak of the powers who placed him on the word stage in the first place.

Just thinking out loud...

3. Time will tell, I suppose.
I happen to believe he is but the tip of a very toxic iceberg.

2. He's expendable. Of course they want to transfer all disappointment....
to Bush. That's why Keith O is allowed his rants now.

4. Oh my- I just had that very conversation today.
Need I say more?
Didn't think so.

Olbermann is a classic example of how these people
have employed Hegel.

They succeeded in finally ending any pretense of this country being a Democracy.

Now, they are simply so much more brazen about their agenda.

You are absolutely correct. They have their boots on our necks and are pressing hard.

6. It's a big corporate world out there.
All that war, all that money, all that war, all that money, all that fear, all that money, all that hate, all that money, gotta use the weapons, then we need more, all that money, all that money.

8. Precisely.
Edited on Thu Sep-13-07 10:58 PM by BeHereNow
I think it is safe to assume, by the pathetic selection of
2008 candidates, (on BOTH sides of the aisle, owned by the multi national corporates)
what happens next.
That is, if anyone has been paying attention
to the past 7 years.

7. Shrub* is the president and when he does and says what the others tell him
...he is a big part of the problem because he is now like Roger Smith was to General Motors, but instead of fucking up just one company, * is fucking up the entire nation :wtf:

<snip>
Roger and Me

I have seen the Devil. His name is Roger B. Smith. Alright, I might be going a bit far, but though this son of a whore might not be the Prince of Darkness, there's no doubt in my mind that it's morons like this guy that will lead the world to its end. Watching this film, I didn't know if I wanted to laugh, cry or buy a gun, drive down to Detroit and shoot the guy in the head. Mkay. Roger B. Smith is the chairman of General Motors (well, he was 10 years ago, I haven't done any research to see what he's up to now). You know, GM, the big American cars that pollute our air. Anyway, the film tells us that GM was actually founded in the small town of Flint, Michigan. Oh, the American spirit. America, Home of the Free... Free to make money by any means, at least. It's capitalism, baby. If Roger B. Smith and all the other old, white fat cats are the Devil, capitalism is their hellish kingdom. I'm not saying that we should go communist or anything, but you gotta be fricking thick-headed not to realize that people almost always take the capitalism thing way too far. While it's supposed to be about giving Everyman the opportunity to do whatever he wants with his money, to start a business and become rich (ah, the American Dream...), the way things are turning on, it does the exact opposite thing. What we get is a mean, inhuman minority or businessmen who rule the money world with an iron fist and will run Everyman into the ground any day if it can up the bottom line. Free enterprise is one thing. Putting profit over people is another.

10. The stakes just got higher. Bush has no choice but to do what he is doing.
Hunt Oil has gotten the contract for oil in the Kurdish region. Now bush has to stay to protect a friends interests, no matter the cost to us little people.
