Good morning.
Let’s say when I was kid I lied to my parents about something. That’s not too much of a stretch. Let’s say it concerned where I was going or what I was doing. Maybe I told them I was going to church but in reality I was going somewhere I shouldn’t. As a result of my going somewhere I shouldn’t have I ended up saving someone’s life. Even though some good indirectly came out of my lying, I still lied. I got in trouble, not for saving someone’s life but rather for lying. That was a juvenile indiscretion though. You would expect that from a sixteen year old punk kid. You shouldn’t expect that of the fifty-nine year old leader of the free world. You shouldn’t have to.
You know that feeling you get when you know someone is lying to you? I got that feeling last night watching the president. The man is a liar. I mean he didn’t lie about cheating on his wife but he did lie about something that has resulted in a whole bunch of innocent people dying. “Oh really ya left-wing commie pig? How about Osama Bin Laden?” Actually Osama Bin Laden and President Bush have quite a lot in common. Let’s look at some similarities.
They both use their religious beliefs as justification for murder.
They both use terror as a way to get their point across to the entire world.
They both underestimate the intelligence of the people they try to manipulate.
They both use a ‘for us or against us’ doctrine of mentality. Either you agree with me and you’re my friend or you disagree with me and you’re my enemy. That’s pretty illogical. I disagree with a lot of my friends on some things but I don’t go killing people over it. Well not recently anyway.
They both adore long walks on the beach and Phil Collins’ No Jacket Required album. Not many people know that one.
They both want the world to side with their point of view because neither one of them is willing to even entertain the possibility that they might be wrong.
I really want people to understand that I am not some liberal Democrat who is just blasting the guy because he’s Republican. I just wish people would finally realize what a horrible person he is. It’s not a Republican or Democrat thing. This isn’t a conservative or liberal issue. This is an American issue. As Americans we should stop defending our personal beliefs at the cost of being willfully ignorant. Let’s put aside the fact he is a Republican. Let’s put aside the fact he is a Christian. If you look at him as a leader he has failed miserably.
Someone has to stand up and tell everyone that the emperor has no clothes on.
