Schoolyard Bully, Bush, and his Buddies...

[Stuart G]

He hate him so much because he is the schoolyard bully. He pushes the helpless kid to the ground, and he turns around and blames you for the push. He lies so much that we get sick.
Yet, we all know that the teachers and the principal will someday catch up with him, and he will pay the penalty. And that has not happened. In fact, he has become the principal and he makes many of the rules and lies about them too.
As bad as this is, there is something that is just as bad. His friends and associates lie too. They lie to support his lies. Good people we thought, have lied to make sure he remains the school yard bully. Perhaps we thought that some of his friends would someday say, there goes the bully, he lies, he is bad.
As we watch, we stare in disbelief. People we have admired. People we liked. They all support the school yard bully. People who often sound good. Yet, they are no good. They support the bully and his lies. And they know better, and that is why we hate them too.

1. I posed this question on another thread..... If Bush (and buddies)

are such bullies, why would 300 million plus people sit by for almost 8 years and let them both bully and destroy their country?

3. Some, never stood by, but most did because.....

we did not believe that he was what he is. How could the bully be elected President?. We did not want to believe that he had nothing on. No clothes. Some knew from the beginning, some came on slowly, then quickly, now most of us know..
200 million of those 300 million know. Still he totally supported by his buddies. All of them. Even people that we thought would lead us out, have in the end supported him because they say, "The fight is not worth it. He will be gone soon." I am not sure they are right. Let us hope so.

2. Everything you need to know you learned early on in school

Bullies, and "the beautiful people," wouldn't exist if not for being perversely admired by those who enable them, who respect the cruelty and superficiality they represent, giving them their social status power through their obedient servitude and devout admiration ... always willing to downplay and trivialize their tyranny.

It's like when George Carlin speaks of politics and the grim state of America; he doesn't blame the politicians as they're usually just people who come from American belief systems and institutions - garbage in, garbage out. It's the public that sucks, not the politicians.
