Where Bush's Arrogance Has Taken Us
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/082306E.shtml


An illegal war, a long list of eroded rights, and a country run by and for the benefit of corporate campaign donors - all courtesy of the imperial presidency.
During his gubernatorial days in Texas, George W let slip a one-sentence thought that unintentionally gave us a peek into his political soul. In hindsight, it should've been loudly broadcast all across our land so people could've absorbed it, contemplated its portent - and roundly rejected the guy's bid for the presidency. On May 21, 1999, reacting to some satirical criticism of him, Bush snapped: "There ought to be limits to freedom."

Gosh, so many freedoms to limit, so little time! But in five short years, the BushCheneyRummy regime has made remarkable strides toward dismembering the genius of the Founders, going at our Constitution and Bill of Rights like famished alligators chasing a couple of poodles.

1. "Alligators chasing Poodles"
I'm very familiar with that visual down here in Bayou Country. It isn't a pretty sight, extremely nasty and ugly. Just like bush and his kind.

2. I say the sooner we separate Bush from America, the better.
The man doesn't have the intelligence, the morals, the integrity, the knowledge, the vocabulary, the personality, the appearance, the ethics, or the humility to be President of the United States of America.

In short, George Bush barely qualifies as a human being. That's why Bush is the Worst. President. Ever. And we will spend years and years undoing the damage he's done.
