This is why George Bush remains in charge: |
|
Because he is very selective about who gets access to information and this is why he can lie about terror threats in order to bully Congresspeople into making stupid decisions with their votes. As long as the information is for his eyes only, no one can effectively challenge him. But also, and more importantly, because, deep down inside, everyone suspects that Bush is insane enough to kill Americans in order to create a crisis that will increase the fear in all Americans, and make them malleable to his will.
So, the obvious conclusion is that even if there is no terror information coming from our true enemies, we believe there are enough right-wing nutjobs who think it's their duty to "Pat Tillman" the rest of us.
And the saddest thing of all, is that, like Muslim suicide bombers who are promised they'll find 40 virgins waiting for them in heaven when they do the unthinkable, the right-wing believe that no court in the country would convict them because Bush has gone way beyond the edge, and look, nothing is happening to him. He's not only in charge, he's asking for more power.

5. Well, isn't MIHOP, LIHOP, Pat Tillman, anthrax and Kelly all signs |
|
that it's already happened?
I don't see the right-wing, average Joe, going postal. I think they'll continue to make threats that they're ready for revolution, but they'll leave the real job to the professionals.

MIHOP/LIHOP are mutually exclusive. Also MIHOP and LIHOP are both fairy tales.

12. MIHOP and LI HOP are both fairy tales?Do you at least believe that he was HAPPY it happened? |
|
IT is a fairy tail to believe that the WTC collapsed into its' own footprint by itself.

13. I'll let you take over. |
|
I did a poll a year or so ago and found out that the majority of DUers believed that one of the other is true, so I know where this is headed.

4. Y'ever notice how no-one seems too concerned about what the virgins LOOK like? |
|
I mean, maybe there's a bloody good reason they're still virgins...:scared:

3. Our true enemies are in the White House -- and that's no secret. |

Too many Dem pols still lack spines -- also no secret.
