A year too soon
It's a shame that this is not an election year. Right now, the Village Idiot is floundering in the vat of bile, fear and lies that he created. The American people are FINALLY waking up and realizeing that the boogy man does not live in our closet. The boogy man, in fact, does not live in (or at least didn't before March 2003) Iraq. As any child of 10 will tell you: the boogy man does not exist, and saying he does does not make it so. Eventually, people figure this out.
Unfortunately for the United States, the general public is figuring this out either a year too late, if you consider we could have voted out the Village Idiot 12 months ago, or a year too soon, if you consider that the controling party of the government would have been susceptible to losing one of the chambers of Congress were we in an even numbered year. People have officially tired of being affraid and lied to. People also have very short memories, and I fear that 12 months might give the liars and criminals that run the White House and the Republican Party in general just enough time to find something else new and flashy to distract our attention.
There's hope now, though, and that's a good thing. A year ago today, I would have wondered if people would have ever woken up and recognized the monumental snow job the White House was giving them. Has there ever been a more fitting presidency to be run out of the White House: an administration that White Washes every thing to the point that they haven't said anything of substance since shortly after our initial foray into Afghanistan? But the people don't want that any more. They're starting to want the truth. And it's because the Village Idiot and his handlers have lied about soooo many other things, the people are starting to wonder just how far they'd go - how many lies they'd tell - to push their agenda of greed and wealth for a select few.
Finally, folks are taking a moment's break from shoveling down the daily dose of Fear and Loathing that the White House continually shoves down their throats to realizes they should be doing a lot more loathing and their fear may be misdirected. Don't get me wrong: there are bad people out there that would like nothing more than to do a major US city a whole lotta harm. But there are just as many people - white "Christian" people - here in our borders that can do just as much harm to the entire country. And they're running it. One of my favorite Village Idiot quotes came out this week. On the subject of torture he said something along the lines of, "We're detaining people that have knowledge of known terrorist attacks and we will do whatever we can to get that information out of them. And whatever we do, it is not torture." Essentially, he is saying that the United States military and Intelligence sets the moral agenda and definition of torture. Rape room = torture. Rape room, but with broom handles = not torture. Held captive in a small room with a pillowcase over your head in bullet riddled building in the Middle East by Muslims = torture. Held captive in a small room with a pillowcase over your head while forming naked man pyramids in the Middle East by Christians = not torture. You get the idea.
If the Village Idiot's controllers are dumb enough to think they will be able to get away with continuing to double talk and lie to teh people of the United States for the next 12 months, then there just may be a chance that Democrats can force out some of the rubber-stamp Bushbots in Congress. Unfortunately, they managed to dress up the pig once before and got him re-elected. If people were blinded by the flashiness of "Global War on Terror" and "Christian Values" once before, I fear they might be able to be similarly distracted once again. Today, no. But in 12 months, we can only hope not.
