Does anyone know what the 'Bush Vision' is? |
|
For the next 4 years and beyond? I've been wondering what the hell it is. He's neglected the environment, the poor, children, education and the middle class. All i hear is more tax cuts.
I hear nothing on the environment. Nothing on real health care. Nothing to solve the budget problem, Medicare or social security. Has everything taken a back sit for his 'war on terror"?

The US, circa 1890?
Germany, circa 1935?
Hell, I don't know.
I fear that the average voter would say:
"I don't know either.
"But I just love to pump my fist in the air and yell "USA! USA!" when we blow shit up.
"And I don't mind not having a job, or health care, so long as I'm sure a colored person or a faggot doesn't have one either.
"And I don't think I'm going to live long enough to collect Medicare or social security because terrorists are going to kill me at the mall.
"And I can't really complain abouth the environment, because Jesus is coming before it gets really bad."
Brain-stem politics.
Hey -- it works.

...that your post answers your question!
More of the same BS we've seen for the last 4+ years. Hopefully, the Democratic party has found it's voice and there won't be another 4 years. If the worst were to happen and he got reselected, I think he & his cronies would do their best to continue to run the country into the ground and make it look like 1900 again for the working people.
The primary motivation of the halliburton administration is, first and always, profit for their contributors and let somebody else clean the mess up! Remember, cheney said that defeceits don't matter.

9. The US mission is to bring freedom to every single person in the world. |
|
For all Americans, the last three years have brought tests we didn't ask for, and for achievements shared by all. And by our actions we have shown what kind of nation we are. We're a nation with a mission, and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We believe that freedom is the right of every single person in the world. By the unselfish dedication of Americans in uniform, people in our own country and in lands far away, people can live in freedom and know the peace that freedom brings. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/02/20040217-5.html

13. Does freedom come from the full belly of a B-52 and the murderous coups? |

Condoleezza's nonsense about democracy and freedom
"The United States could make a genuine contribution to the spread of democracy were it to focus attention on the economies of the world's more backward places. It might start with some generosity in foreign aid. The United States is the stingiest of all advanced countries in giving economic assistance to poor countries, giving at an annual rate of 1/10 of one percent of its GDP."
Condoleezza Rice wants to bring democracy to the Middle East. Rice, an expert on what is now an obsolete subject, the Soviet Union, believes this can be done the way the United States brought democracy to Chile or Iran or Afghanistan - by violently overthrowing governments.
Does democracy come from the full belly of a B-52 and the murderous aftermath of coups?
Apparently not. Virtually none of the countries that America's freedom-loving army of enlightenment has bombed and shot-up over the last sixty years is today a democracy.
Rice displays little understanding of the history of democracy or of the circumstances which make it possible. She is not alone in this. Madeleine Albright's efforts on "democracy initiatives" displayed a similar lack of understanding, although it must be said in Ms. Albright's favor, she was less inclined than the ever-hysterical Ms. Rice to classify unprovoked attack by a great power as an initiative for democracy.

17. I sometimes ask shittoheads why Bush didn't just give Saddam a tax cut. |
|
This question seems to make shittoheads angry, however given that they are perpetually pissed and hate filled, it is difficult to be sure.

19. Freedom to every person in the world? |
|
500lbs at a time
I loved Jon Stewart's remark during the Iraqi war when the MOAB's were trotted out for the TV viewers back home. On describing the crater left by the MOAB jon said
" . . . or as we like to call them, Freedom Holes."

18. It depends on if he has been doing cocaine or tequila. |
|
Coke makes him aggressive, so he looks for shit to blow up. Tequila just turns him into your garden-variety, mean, drunk, Texas asshole; so if he can't find a queer to stomp, he'll start babbling about the defense of marriage or some other such horseshit.

20. It Involves him wearing a crown and sitting on a throne! |

This guy* sees himself as king of the world, one country at a time. If Iraq is any example, he had better re-think his dictatorial plan!
