Bush's hijacking of the country in eloquent words

The following appears in the June 18th, 2007 issue of THE NATION

First he hijacked our emotions
To attack his own inferiorities
And provoke what his father did not;

But expect that
Of an ex-alcoholic-
A weaning from frat-braus
To flight jackets of testosterone.

Next he hijacked our generation
And flushed our few fading fantasies
With impeachable deceit;

But this is our offense
Though we stood up to
One generation
We did not to our own.

But now he has hijacked America's soul
And land-mined our constitution
And a bi-centennial of good will;

This we will not forgive,
And shall hence detain and torture him
In the Guantanamo prison
Of conscientiousness.

2. Well said. However, I question the ex-alcoholic part.

3. I wonder if that isn't the point.....they try to make him appear

as an ex-alcoholic but I think our suspicions are probably more accurate.

4. Hijacked America's soul?

Self-deception is an insult to reason and the soul.
