Bad American

Robert Weissman in CommonDreams lays it out beautifully, so please read his article.

Yes, I watched our little war criminal and enemy of the people blow through his state of the union, exhibiting his little smirk that I would pay very good money to see someone roundhouse kick it right off his face.

I lost track of how many times I yelled “LIAR!!” at the screen but by the end of the speech, my blood pressure had to be racing. And I especially loved how the members of the Fascist Party (what I will henceforth call the GOP until I think of something better), leapt to their feet as Der Fuhrer shouted that the big telecoms must be protected at all costs from lawsuits arising from helping the government spy on American citizens.

If you encapsulate on of the biggest problems with this country today, that repugnant and nauseating scene perfectly captured it. A Parliament of Whores jumps like little monkeys on strings to protect their corporate masters and the American people and the Constitution be damned.

It seems that in light of the State of the Union speech, fascism (corporatism) among the right is clearly out in the open now.

One thing I know for sure - the bastards in Washington have no idea of the pain on Main Street.

It’s something I see every day lately right in front of my eyes.

We’re starting to hurt very badly out here. I know - I talk to everyone - the small business owners, the ad sales reps from local media outlets and even the postal carries. They all tell me the same thing. And I can see it in the lack of foot traffic in my own business the last few weeks.

We’re dying out here - slowly, painfully, and that bastard in the White House just stands there and smirks and thinks about helping AT&T.

Yes I hate George W. Bush. But its not an unnatural or unfounded hate.

I hate this man for what he has done to my country and what he has done to the Middle East.

I hate him for his lies and his casual decisions that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

I hate him for what his policies have done from Main Street to New Orleans.

I hate him for debasing the United States in the eyes of the world.

I hate him for who he is - a pampered prince of privilege who had everything handed to him from day one who seems to believe that God anointed him for his life.

He is a murderer, a liar and a master thief.

And his last State of the Union, with all its lies, its smirks and its Reichstag like fawning adulation from the traitors in the audience made me sick for my country and my children’s future.

May this man rot in whatever Hell awaits people like him and Dick Cheney and all of the neocons and assorted Satan’s little helpers that enabled him.
