Fearmongering


The hype begins, and P.T. Dick just can't resist:

The thing that's partly disturbing about it is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task. And when we see the Democratic Party reject one of its own, a man they selected to be their vice presidential nominee just a few short years ago, it would seem to say a lot about the state the party is in today if that's becoming the dominant view of the Democratic Party, the basic, fundamental notion that somehow we can retreat behind our oceans and not be actively engaged in this conflict and be safe here at home, which clearly we know we won't -- we can't be....

What...an...asshole. That they'd play politics with something like this is, on its face, appalling...that they'd IGNORE their prior rhetoric about how their splendid little clusterfuck war was supposed to prevent these things, which itself is a lie, of course, but...makes it even worse.

Maybe Big Time and Tony Snow crack open a cold one and share a hearty laugh at the end of the day, provided Dick's shotgun is securely stored. Maybe they chuckle about how they pulled one over on the public, who, for the most part just don't have the time to follow, much less comprehend, the global political economy...because they're trying to keep the bills paid, the car fueled, the kids fed and clothed (those along the Gulf Coast have the added bonus of HOURS on the phone arguing with insurance companies, or FEMA, while also doing their best to locate licensed, reliable contractors, and so on).

And maybe, deep down, they actually have a small measure of remorse--well, no, I doubt that--but perhaps they justify their sheer assholery by thinking to themselves that they're really just doing what they have to so for the sale of their own families, and, after all, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and the grandkids need a college fund, and...

Well, it's STILL BULLSHIT, Messrs. Snow and Cheney--and all you other assclowns participating in this VERY, VERY SICK GAME. If the Gulf Coast in 2005 proved NOTHING else, it's that the public is generally safe IN SPITE OF, NOT BECAUSE OF you and your policies. Today's news and the cynical election season ramping up of the terror color nonsense code is, to reiterate, BULLSHIT. And you know it is.

Actually, I doubt souless fucks like youselves lose even a millisecond of sleep--if the death count from your useless wars overseas, the same from the Gulf Coast while you sat with a finger firmly planted up your backside...hell, and your being asleep at the wheel on 9/11...2001... hasn't shamed you into at the very least resigning from office and begging for forgiveness, well, I guess nothing will.

But don't think you've fooled everyone, and don't think you'll get away with it forever.

Fuckers.
