Insulting someone's children is wrong! Insulting this administration and everything it stands for well I can think of nothing more right!!! GW is a horrible man and no amount of scarring the public., preaching about the lord, or smiling like a monkey on roller skates is going to change that!
There are so many horrible things that he is done aside from the war I do not even know where to begin, but I guess I will list a little sampling of my favorites:
(1) October 2003 Bush declares national marriage protection week, a whole week to openly bash and discriminate against our countrymen. Is the institution of marriage in danger? Because as far as I can tell, people are still getting married. But President Bush apparently thinks marriage is in dire need of protection, and hops into action by declaring "Marriage Protection Week." Bush, of course, thinks that marriage needs protection from gay couples, who want to attack marriage by, uh, getting married. I'm not quite sure how that works, but Bush must know what he's doing, right?
(2) September 2003 he dicloses the identity of a CIA agent to get back at her husband: When Joseph Wilson revealed that the Bush administration had used false intelligence to justify the war in Iraq, a smear campaign against him was predictable. But it was impossible to predict that the White House would reveal that Wilson's wife was an undercover CIA agent who worked on weapons of mass destruction -- supposedly the reason we went to war in the first place -- just to get back at Wilson.
(3) To afford his precious war Bush cut the combat pay of the soldiers actually fighting it as far back as August of 2003: Bush constantly expresses gratitute to these young men & women, people my age, my friends, dying everyday for nothing. He sure has a funny way of showing his gratitute Under Bush, the Pentagon cuts imminent danger pay as soldiers die every day in Iraq and family separation pay as soldiers are separated from their families for months.
(4) In 2002 Bush asks the court to seal the record on research and cases of children that developed autism as a result of vaccinations. After making sure the drug companies had protection from these suits built into the homeland security bill (see 11-19-2002 below), President Bush undermines those lawsuits again by fighting to make sure that important information connecting vaccinations to autism never sees the light of day. Again and again, we see that Bush considers an uninformed public to be his greatest asset.
(5) In 2002 he backed off an important population treaty: Imagine being so enslaved to an ideology that avoiding the slightest offense to your beliefs is more important to you than the health of poor women all over the world. If you can imagine what that's like, then you have an insight into the mind of President Bush, who has removed U.S. support for an international agreement to curb population growth, because the agreement's support for reproductive services for women implies that some of them might get abortions. Because the phrase "reproductive services" reminds Bush of "abortion," poor women worldwide won't have access to the kinds of services that actually prevent abortions, like adequate health care and birth control.
I could name at least 300 more things he has done that have a real impact on the daily lives of real people all over the world that are morally indefensible. I am not particularly interested in arguing about it, but what I really cannot comprehend is how in light of things like this he represents the so-called "moral-majority." If this country's collective morality is one that says it is okay to turn our backs to people in need, it is okay to use of law the very thing that is supposed to ensure equality to discriminate against entire classes of citizens, and it is okay to diregard world health because a small fraction of this country have religious beliefs that dictate such a course of action, well then I am ashamed! |
