Harsh and to the point?...yes!
That is what I like about this rant.

Right Wing Americans are Getting What They Deserve

If there has ever been a case where people have lost the right to complain it is now. The blind faith and catatonic loyalty given to George W. Bush by what has to be the most uninformed political base in human history serves as justification for those of us in the “we told you so” crowd to tell them to shut up and take it like a man. As the average American drowns in the wake of the Bush tsunami I don’t want to hear so much as a peep from the millions who ridiculed the “intellectuals” who tried to warn them about this intellectually inert puppet and his fascist handlers.

As American soldiers and innocent Iraqis die by the hundreds each day, as the true costs of the Bush tax cuts and Medicare overhaul come destroy one family after another, as each child dies from asthma due to relaxed environmental laws, when an accident at a germ warfare facility wipes out a city, when our coastal cities end up under water because we ignored and exacerbated global warming, as new cancers and horrors arise because our food supply has been genetically modified without our permission and when we have to go to war with other nations because the global food chain broke and our seas no longer provide oxygen to breath and there is not enough food and air to support life on earth because our god damn president does not believe in science, every Fox News watching, Limbaugh listening, Hannitized, flag wearing, gay hating right wing Constitution bashing false patriot Bush supporter better shut up and take it because they made it happen! Bush supporters have nobody to blame but themselves and guess what, the rest of us should blame them too.

All I can say is that this is what you get for believing even for a moment what the US corporate media wants you to believe. The rest of us Bush haters are Bush haters for one reason and one reason only; we pay attention! So to my new former Bush supporting friends who seem to be suddenly surrounding me and telling me that I have been right all along: you can tell me I was right but after that shut the hell up because it is too late for forgiveness. From now on, just shut up and listen. Think about it!

1. Forgiveness in not in my heart

They still don't listen when you tell them the truth

[Liberal Veteran]

Much like the Dixie Chicks, I'm not ready to make nice.

I am disgusted by this evil administration in the White House and those who supported it.

[tridim]

8. I can vouch for that, this xmas with the family proved it

I was going to forgive them this year but they're still Bushbots, now I just feel sad for them. Bush supporters are pathetic.

[hfojvt]

45. which truth?

because things like this do not sound very much like truth

"when an accident at a germ warfare facility wipes out a city, when our coastal cities end up under water because we ignored and exacerbated global warming, as new cancers and horrors arise because our food supply has been genetically modified without our permission and when we have to go to war with other nations because the global food chain broke and our seas no longer provide oxygen to breath and there is not enough food and air to support life on earth because our god damn president does not believe in science"

Sounds like the same kind of "wishful thinking?" that fundies are looking forward to, except they expect to be raptured before this.

[MichiganVote]

2. Anyone who doesn't make multi-multi millions and voted for * is just plain stupid

I'm sick of stupid people.

[beam me up scottie]

3. I absolutely LOVE that second paragraph!

every Fox News watching, Limbaugh listening, Hannitized, flag wearing, gay hating right wing Constitution bashing false patriot Bush supporter better shut up and take it because they made it happen! Bush supporters have nobody to blame but themselves and guess what, the rest of us should blame them too.

:applause: :patriot::applause:

[bobbolink]

4. Why do the rest of us have to suffer along?

Yes, I'm old enough to realize that so many people have to learn the hard way. They have to suffer before they "get it".

But, damn! It's always poor folk who suffer first!

[Steven_S]

6. I was thinking like that also....

Many of us are getting what THEY deserve.

[Jcrowley]

12. Yes

The suffering does not get doled out in a wing specific manner.

Hi bobbo

[bobbolink]

15. Yeah, I never did get that "what goes around comes around"

In too many cases, things just come back to folks like me, and skip over those who caused the crap.

:mad:

:hi: Jcrowley!

[TahitiNut]

29. From those who "know better," better is required.

If we're honest with ourselves, we know of many times we might have done more and for many of us it's much more. The time we kept quiet instead of defending a scapegoat (at the office or at school or in the 'hood) or the times we didn't attend a town coucil, board of education or other meeting of the "best government money could buy" and speak up against the petty abuses.

I say "we" ... I never exclude myself when I speak of 'people,' since I am one.

[bobbolink]

39. As a poor person, I don't get why I should suffer, even though I "know better"

I've done my part and more, and am still doing it.

Yet, I'm on the firing line.

Maybe that seems fair to you, but it isn't from my vantage point.

[TahitiNut]

42. If life were fair, we wouldn't have to work to make it fairer.

It's something I've had to remind myself of many times - that the doctor didn't promise me 'fair' when he pulled me out, drained the fluid, slapped me on the ass, and cut the umbilical cord. I've had (maybe more than) my 'fair' share of wrong-headedness ... and call them "learning experiences." At the same time, I've never had a glass that was so much emptiness that I couldn't locate the fullness. Furthermore, I'm not so sure I'd be the Universal Arbiter of Fairness ... so the most I can do is work for the version I think is closest. The only things I have control over are my thoughts, words, and actions ... and I'm sure not perfect with that. It's clear, therefore, I've still got work that needs doing.

[bobbolink]

52. I can only do what I can do.

Beyond that, I just want to remind people who are into "paybacks" that it's always poor folk who pay the highest price.

[mediaman007]

5. Many of us didn't give him the time of day after 9-11.

We knew then that he was a thief and an incompetent leader. We were in the 12% that always questioned, and never trusted.

[stansnark]

27. unbelievable. you didn't know BEFORE 911 ?

[mediaman007]

30. I hope that your question is rhetorical...

Just commenting that DU members at that time were not swept up in the patriotic fervor. With his poll numbers in the upper 40's or low 50's prior to 9-11, I don't think that anyone here would have been a Bush* supporter.

Prior to 9-11 this board was wrapped up in the election theft and the fraud of "No Child Left Behind."

P.S. Welcome to DU!

[BlooInBloo]

7. Unfortunately, ALL Americans are enduring the suffering that only....

... republican voters truly deserve...

[SHRED]

9. good point

[Monkeyman]

10. Now We the People have got to make it better

[Quantess]

11. It's as though the USA got carjacked by repukelians,

they let G.W. Bush take the wheel because they thought he could drive, and they were surprised that W crashed us all into a tree.

[BlooInBloo]

23. I think of it in terms of idiot Americans willingly handing the keys over...

... but whatever...

[Quantess]

28. either way, the result is the same,

and we're all in the same boat -- uh- crashed car.

[BlooInBloo]

36. True - the difference comes out primarily in regards to the future.

[Quantess]

44. I rolled out the window in time .

[rpannier]

13. agreed

[Mind_your_head]

14. Somehow I hope that their 'blind loyalty' will come back to bite

them in their comfortable asses.

As in...."weren't the rich jumping out of windows when the stock market tanked in 1929?" What happens when it's cheaper to burn dollars than to buy heating oil?

I'm mad as hell! And I believe in Justice (not punishment).

I believe Justice will win out eventually. I hope that I'm alive to see it....if not, In truth and justice I will trust.

[Cleita]

16. They don't care. I've talked to many of them and they just say

that they aren't going to be around when the chickens come home to roost for everyone.

[roamer65]

17. I wouldn't be so sure of that if I were them...

'enuff said.

[CrispyQ]

18. Forgiveness is the hardest thing.

It is.


I'm not that good a person yet.
Possibly never.

[JohnnyLib2]

19. "Grab them by the balls and hearts and minds will follow"

--Don't remember who said this, but Bush's (dis)approval polls seem to prove it, again. As to the remaining koolaid drinkers--we gotta squeeze harder!

[Greg Helmsley]

20. We are at civil war

[Fovea]

46. Got a gun?

Could be a good thing to own for the next few years, as climate change and blowback come round to visit.
Buy Black Powder weapons with cash, if you dont want to have to fill out paperwork.

[Greg Helmsley]

53. If the frustration is growing?

maybe

[newyawker99]

47. Hi Greg Helmsley!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[muntrv]

21. I never understood how working stiffs could actually think Bush is like them.

Dubya is a 3rd generation politician, yet these conservatives call John Kerry an elitist.

[CurtEastPoint]

26. OMIGOD Exactly! I don't get that! You see those crappy ...

cars and pickups and you just know they are scraping by and there are those GD W stickers. As someone said recently "GB doesn't care about white people, either!"

How on God's green earth they think that this administration care for anything other than their own ilk (is that how you use that?).. i.e., their snotty little peers?

Morans! I'm SERIES!!!111!!

[muntrv]

33. Up here in Michigan, many of these same Bush supporters scream

buy American.

[nicknameless]

22. Nom. #5

:thumbsup:

[illinoisprogressive]

24. As much as I hate Shrub, I wonder...

if he would have gotten as bad as he has without the total lay down of the republican congress and lapdog press.
Congress is there to put the brakes on and they did not.
The press, as the 4th estate, did not do the job of being skeptical and questioning
And when you have a president who acts like a spoiled brat and is given a mile and a mile, ect...where were the so=called grown ups???

[Melynn]

25. They ARE NOT getting what they deserve

They deserve to throw in prison for aiding and abetting the crimes of Bush. Ain't going to happen.

[illinoisprogressive]

31. White House hiring Lawyers

to deal with all the investigations coming up. Something to look forward to.

[Monkeyman]

35. I know I look forward to it

We have to make sure its done right under oath

[madokie]

37. I remember nixon like it was yesterday

bunches of the same crowd now

[Monkeyman]

38. You better believe that

But some of these are worse that give me the cold chills

[Mind_your_head]

32. "ain't going to happen"?

Many unexpected turns have happend throughout history.....don't be so "sure". History has to play itself out on this one too.....

[ClassWarrior]

34. I agree with the sentiment... but I WANT more people to complain...

...because a groundswell is what it's going to take to defeat Radical RW authoritarianism once and for all.

NGU.

[calimary]

40. Dammit, why can't I recommend this one more than ONCE???

I'm thinking more like 100 times or so. Dear God, this is SO close to my heart. It truly has colored the way I regard some of the people I know. Irreparably. Anybody who was pro-bush, AND THEN STAYED THAT WAY, even while the evidence started to break out into the open, well, let's just say this tells me more about them as people than I had ever wished to know - and all of it is BAD. Hell, WE all knew the truth. WE found it, virtually alone and unassisted, by studying, researching, scouring the internet, refusing to swallow the 15-second soundbites and agenda-driven spinmanship. And if WE could dig it out, WHY COULDN'T THEY??? And I'm talking about EVERYBODY who didn't. Both inside and outside the media. The media, of course, has no excuse whatsoever. All they had to do was keep asking questions and keep trying to think independently. That's ALL they had to do. Everyone else who was dependent, for the most part, on what the information brokers produced, has some excuse (not a lot, but some), but only for awhile. It was OBVIOUS. It was OBVIOUS to me, and to everyone here on DU, and to everyone else in the progressive underground, not to mention the vast majority of people around the world.

We TRIED it their way. We let them have their say-so. We had to sit there and take their abuse and their snide remarks and their insults and their bullying. So FUCK 'EM, then. NO PITY. NONE. The blood is on THEIR hands as much as it's on bush's and cheney's. The carnage is on THEIR hands as much as it's on bush's and cheney's. The looting and so many other kinds of fraud and theft are all on THEIR hands as much as it's all on bush's and cheney's. The violence and chaos and disruption and horror is ALL on THEIR hands as much as ALL of it is on bush's and cheney's. They do not get a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card. They no longer can hide behind the "but, but, but, I just didn't know..." bullshit. Well, then, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TRY TO FIND OUT??? NO MORE. Not by now. They could have listened. They SHOULD have listened. The blame falls COMPLETELY on them, every bit as much as it does on bush and cheney. They're as much to blame as those two evil architects are, because they were ALL in position to stop it. They could have stopped it and didn't. REFUSED to stop it. REFUSED to see reason or truth or ANY counter-argument. So FUCK 'em.

41. They will *never* get what they deserve.

They deserve to live in Baghdad for the rest of their short lives.

[Gloria]

43. I agree totally

[Neecy]

48. whenever I'm tempted to forgive a Bush supporter...

...despite their enabling of the most anti-democratic, brainless and incomptent thug ever to hold the office I think of one simple phrase and I know there will never be room enough in my heart to forgive them, ever.

"Get over it." That's the money phrase.

[blue cat]

49. I'm very happy to recommend

because I have been right all along! Thank you - just sent to my right wing sisters.

[MamaBear]

50. Recommendation #17

I regret that I have but one recommendation to give to this thread.

Cheap oil is suicide.

[unpossibles]

51. I had one moran [sic] tell me that the reason the Repukes lost this year

is because "they ran as Republicans and governed as Democrats"

lol. I then asked him if that's why he supported and defended them so strongly, and reminded him that even if it were true (which it's not), then it just shows that I was right that they were liars and that people who voted for them were fools.

[lonestarnot]

54. Hell yeah, damn right on!

[Vyan]

55. I can only say one thing...

Tell them to join the club, we're ready for 'em!

Rejoin the Reality-Based Community and Escape the Addiction to Bullshit at...



Warning:Unabashed Plug!

[Morgana LaFey]

56. intellectually inert puppet and his fascist handlers

and my other favorite line:

The rest of us Bush haters are Bush haters for one reason and one reason only; we pay attention!

LOVE that.
