Are We Down to Just One Boss Hog in the USA-----who is it???? |
|
Just realized this a.m. why I innately feard this "regime" but never felt that way about other "administrations". I looked back through politics in this nation (including my 58 years) and, of course, it was always about greed, power and money---gosh, what's new!! We had some real bastard Boss Hogs in this nation. Some of them are an infamous part of our history. Their actions were criminal, to say, the least, in the way in which they delivered the vote (wink, wink)for their candidates and ruled in their realm. That's why American democratic voting is a borderline farce. We have had the Joe Kennedy machine of MA, or Daley machine of Chicago, the robber barrons had their fifedoms, our forefathers use to kick and fight each other. Every big city has had it's Boss Hog and every rural county. We had them all fighting each other for the biggest share of that money/power hog. It was one of the renegade Texas Senators on Washington Journal this a.m. that finally made all those "sick" feelings I have had come together.
She was stressing to callers that this ISN'T just politics as usual---i.e., state Boss Hogs and their minions have gerrymandered states since Shep was a pup. This time it was directed straight from Washington, D.C. Of course, she pointed out the CA recall, etc. and a long list of other things that, too, are being directed right out of D.C. It was then I realized that these repukes no longer have "Boss Hogs" out there----they have field marshalls doing their bidding whom they take care of; but the "Boss Hog" is only ONE entity. That's what this regime has introduced to American politics and that's why it's the type of power that can literally destroy our entire foundations and build it up again as an alter to the "ONE".
Of course the knuckle-dragging idiot is not "the ONE" (they just tell the fool that so he can think he's a big man). The most visible face of "the ONE" is Cheney. But this entity really is a congolmerate and is not simply made up of filthy little American boys. That's what makes if very terrifying. Isn't it an ironic laugh that they do all their "work" under the guise of convincing the people that the big federal government is the enemy while pushing for "state's rights". This entity is bigger than our federal government could ever hope to be and it is no democracy.

1. My guess is Poppy Bush |
|
He has the most incredible connections: CIA, including Black Ops, Carlyle (defense gigabucke, mid-eastern money bags) domestic big oil, legions of politicians bought and paid for, right wing pseudo-religionists, media moguls, etc., etc.
He gets my vote as the ultimate master criminal of all time. Dante would have to create a tenth circle of hell to properly reward that man.

2. Hogg, thy name is Halliburton. |

Seriously. You look at the crazy shit this administration has done and you ask "Cui bono?" and it always comes back to them, somehow.
