Does Papa Bush really think his son George is an honest man?
Advertisements [?]
I believe he does. This may be a little puzzling when most of us believe he is a liar and cheat. And since I also believe Papa Bush isn’t stupid then how can he make such a mistake?

I believe the reason is that the Bush family belong to a class of people that honestly believe that their s*** doesn’t stink. These people, raised in a wealthy environment don’t have the same moral principles as those of us in the lower classes. They have never had to do an honest day’s work, never had to sweat or worry about whether they will make the rent payment or whether their children will go to college. Their children go to the best schools and get jobs guaranteed by friends of the family or friendly companies. This gives these people a distorted view of life. They can not at all relate to the trials and tribulations of the masses. George didn’t even blink when he turned down well over a hundred pleas for clemency while governor of Texas. He didn’t care if they got a fair trial or not because his class believes they were scum anyway. Momma Bush showed her contempt also when she visited the New Orleans dome and told the people made homeless by Katrina that they should look at it as an adventure like camping.

These wealthy elite can’t relate to those of the lower classes losing loved ones in war. It never happens to them. Their children are safe. They have no feelings for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi’s that have died or the millions fleeing Iraq. They are numb to these conditions.
The wealthy elite believe that lying to the lower classes is not wrong, not dishonest, so when George told us we needed to invade Iraq because of WMD, it wasn’t a lie in their warped principles because it was the best thing for them and therefore the best for all of us. They will look you directly in the eye and tell you they believe in the Constitution while passing laws counter to the Constitution. They can rationalize that this is honest because the Constitution applies only to them not the lower classes. They know what is best for us. The rule of law only applies to us not them, they are the ruling class.

The sad thing is that most of Congress is made up of individuals from this elitist class and they have a hard time relating to the lower classes. Also, many in the media come from this class. What a good job for a child of a wealthy family.

I apologize for rambling but until we in the middle class and lower can take back our government away from the wealthy elitist they will continue to kill our loved ones, ruin the environment and steal our money.
