putting it all together

August 28, 2007 by Betmo 

Corruptionthe blogosphere has been pretty busy of late- what with all of the corruption oozing out of the government and whatnot. ever wonder why it is only just seeping out now? i do- but then again i tend to be suspicious in nature. so- a recent recap has seen at least 14 folks ‘resign’ from the executive branch within the last 6-8 months and several folks in the congress leave for a variety of reasons- mostly, if not exclusively, rethuglican. why? what do they know that we don’t? i would love to say it’s because they are quaking in their boots that they are going to be hauled under oath before congress and whatnot- but let’s get real. so, why now?

don’t ya wonder why so many upper management rethugs buy property elsewhere in the world? paraguay and dubai jump to mind. i mean i have posted myself recently on the billions and trillions of american dollars flying free hither and yon- mostly because i have been interested to know where exactly my tax dollars have been going since it has become painfully obvious that it isn’t to infrastructure here– or iraq apparently. so- i have read and posted about mercenary companies and troops; christian mercenaries and pulpit schemes to get folks to obey and fight for jesus against the heathen infidels abroad- and domestic. i have read about paying off foreign heads of state and paying for their legal bills- and bribing folks for information in muslim countries. bailing out hedge funds and sub prime mortgage companies also.

oh- and lest i forget- taking tax payer money to pay for our own demise- corrupt voting machines and people who run them- and rovie paying to keep the rethugs in office. huh- almost let that gem fly by. must be slipping. what was my point? oh right. americans stealing from other americans in order to put those americans under dictatorship. yes. that’s it. amazing isn’t it? we actually have fellow americans in and out of the country- gleeful at the thought of rounding us dissenters up and torturing us in internment camps. so- please tell me- who are the terrorists again? i lost track. are they our allies since most of the 9/11 hijackers were saudis? are they iraqis because we have bombed the shit out of and ruined their country for no other reason than greed? is it the iranians because they don’t want to see us bomb the shit out of their country for no other reason than greed?

or is it our fellow americans who want to destroy this country- and the planet- for no other reason than greed? you tell me. i lost track.

    Its about greed and self-absorbed folks with no humanity left in them.

    They will bail out the damn hedge funds but not the folks losing their homes.

    Its become a country of “by the Corporations and for the Corporations.”

    And the idiots that still drink the koolaid think this is just fine.

    you said… so- please tell me- who are the terrorists again? i lost track. are they our allies since most of the 9/11 hijackers were saudis? are they iraqis because we have bombed the shit out of and ruined their country for no other reason than greed? is it the iranians because they don’t want to see us bomb the shit out of their country for no other reason than greed?

    or is it our fellow americans who want to destroy this country- and the planet- for no other reason than greed? you tell me. i lost track
    Answer- it is all of the above. It was quietly passed around a month ago giving Bush the okay to cancel elections and declare martial law if Bush thinks the Government was in danger. 9/11 allowed the Patriot act to be passed giving Bush most of his powers to be used to prosecute his new middle east and world order This latest is the absolute final dangerous right you can put in the chief idiots hands because he will abuse and miduse every right he has. Everyone against Bush and his new disorder is the enemy, bar none. That is why your house, your mail, your phone, your computer, nothing is secure or safe from Bush.

    You are right, Betmo, because these people are not concerned about their country. They are concerned about their own interests. They will gladly sell out America- while yapping about liberal traitors.

    i think what we’re seeing is a culmination of 30+ years of work within the far right wing of the rethuglican party. it’s taken a while, but the coopting of the media, the brainwashing of the american people to think that liberal values are insane, the lures thrown out to the craziest of the crazy religious wingnuts (as opposed to people of faith) . . . it’s taken a while but we are now reaping the ~ well, rewards isn’t the right word, but we are now experiencing the result of what they have been doing all of this time.

    it’s not paranoid if it’s the truth. what is happening in this country is frightening. we are teetering on the edge of losing any semblance of being a democracy. if we do not elect a democrat for the next president and we do not take another big jump in congress members, we’ll be sunk. and i’ll move to canada, if canada will have me.

    Canada is becoming very selective now…you can’t get in there like you once were able to do. You’ve got to have proof that you have a job there already…and some money. They don’t want you to go on welfare for starters. And my “you” is generalizing here…Lynette they may just absolutely love to have you come live with them. Canada is a very beautiful country…what I’ve seen of it anyway. Bush is soon going to have it where nobody will want any of us…bummer man!
