Subject: urgent message to save your soul
Bart,
I've been a faithful reader for many years.
I was even at your Vegas Bartfest - not sure what year...
it must have been good... but it was about 2001
or so... My brother Andy (rexmundi) is a big fan
- he ran for Congress here in North Carolina
back in 2004.
I'm writing to take you to task. :)
The reason Bush was able to lie, cheat, and steal
is because Republicans would not hold him
accountable for his actions. Republicans
are blind in their allegiance to their elected leaders.
* If Charles Manson was the GOP nominee for President...
they would call him a fine Christian,
and swear that God had placed him
in power and they would do all they could to silence dissent.
* If George Bush ate a live baby on television
in prime time... they would swear the baby was a
terrorist and deserved to die...
that eating babies was the Christian thing to do... and that anyone
who would not eat a live baby was
unpatriotic.
* etc, etc.
Now, I'm not saying that Obama will lie, cheat, and steal. But I do believe that we have to hold him accountable.
When the Dems took Congress in 2006... a large
part of it was that they were expected to end the occupation
of Iraq. They didn't... and you have done
a good job of pointing that out. Would you agree with someone who
said you were harder on them than the right-wingers?
I don't think you would. I think you would say (and I
would agree) that they need to represent the
wishes of the majority that elected them.
I think people are looking at Obama's picks, and
wondering what the hell he's thinking.
I agree that there's no need for name calling...
but it's valid to question the picks, and wonder what will change.
We all know that Halliburton and all the Bush
gang of thugs will be pushed away from the tit... but will the new
administration undo the Patriot Act?? Will
they undo the executive order giving the President the authority to
declare himself dictator without congressional
approval? Will anything be done about the TRILLIONS stolen
from the DOD, or from the taxpayers to pay for
Credit Default Swaps?? Will anything be done about the
INSANE policy of arming and funding Israel and
fighting their enemies because GOD wants us to???
Look at these appointments and tell me honestly
if you think foreign policy will stray
from this disastrous course we are on.
I don't think it will.

I say we give Obama a chance and if he screws up we'll rhetorically beat him up.
I'm not a mindless cheerleader for Obama.
I'm still angry with him for signing off on the domestic spying bullshit
after he promised he'd fight to kill it, but I know politicians lie
to get elected.
He's got the potential to be Clinton-great, or ever greater.
It's real possible the worst president ever will be bookended by the
two greatest presidents ever.
But I have a feeling that those whining the loudest (think David Sirota)
are actually upset about Hillary.
Just like the rabid-dog House Managers 10 years ago, Sirota and mindless
dorks like him would rather
see Obama fail than see him achieve greatness with Hillary as Sec of
State.
Their Hillary hate forces them to act against their own self-interests.
That makes them crazy and those people need to be quarantined so it
doesn't spread.
Trust me, if Hillary was shut out of the picture entirely, handjobs
like Sirota wouldn't care
if Obama had George W Bush (or Charles Manson - same difference) as
Sec of State
They want Hillary's head on a stick and the ignorant sons of bitches can't even say why.
"I don't like her hair."
"I don't like her pantsuits."
"I don't like her laugh."
"I don't like her walk.
"Mena Airport and Vince Foster."
Hillary's Iraq vote was with 76 other senators but to the closed-minded
fools,
Bush never wanted to invade and "Hillary the Bitch" forced him to.
Maybe being quarantined isn't a strong enough measure...
