Mission Accomplished: America Is Fucked
Mar. 18th, 2006 11:36 amThree years ago Monday, an emotionally stunted, barely literate boy king, a man who has never succeeded at anything he's ever done but has always been bailed out by his family or friends, invaded a sovereign country under false pretenses.
We're still there.
We're not getting out any time soon.
We have enabled the incorrect fantasy of that country being a terrorist haven to come true because the people we invaded are so desperate to get us out that they will take any help they can get.
We have killed thousands of people and maimed tens of thousands of people.
We have lost thousands of people. Tens of thousands of our people have been maimed.
We have filled secret prisons and tortured the people in them.
We have bankrupted the treasury, broken the military, and destroyed our good name around the world.
We have squashed dissent at every turn.
The punditry, deeply beholden to the puppet masters running the country, still cries out over TV how beloved the boy king and his policies are, even though the people know the truth. More than half want him to be censured. Almost half want him to be impeached. But the press, an enemy almost as vile as the boy king and his minions, refuses to go after him, because they are socially, politically, and especially financially in his back pocket.
Awhile back I wrote a big, long, scathing diatribe about how, if you support and protect those who do evil, you are yourself evil.
I would say nothing has changed, but something has.
It's gotten worse.
We must take our country back.
Besides the obvious of winning back the House and/or Senate in the fall, what else should we do right now?
