The New Road

Politics

You might have noticed that I'm not talking about politics as much lately. It's not that I have had a change of heart, far from, it's just that I have tired of all of the partisan bullshit that seems to go nowhere. Instead of trying to move the country in some positive direction the Republicans in power seem bent on simply appealing to their Total Fucking Moron (TFM) base. How does trying to ban flag burning, which happened all of four times last year, help solve the Iraq crisis? How does spending weeks failing to get a marriage ammendment help find and kill Osama bin Laden.

Everything the do-nothing Republicans have pretended to do this year has been to placate their knuckle dragging mouth breathing base who have been pissed off at every change in American since segregation was abolished.

What we need to do is attack Al Qaeda at it's heart. We need to get out of Iraq and let the locals squash the local insurgency. We need to get back into Afghanistan and wrap that situation up. We need to tell the Pakistani government that it can go fuck itself, then take a strike team in there to kill Osama bin Laden.

That would be my 2008 campaing promise, by the way. Osama won't be dead by 2008. He is too valuable to Bush to kill. That's why Bush disbanded the CIA group looking for him. So my campaign promise would be; in the first hundred days we will find and kill Osama bin Laden. No bullshit. Just situation handled. 

At the same time we need to get serious about reconstructing the Gulf coast, and get back into the Kyoto accords so that we can start to put an end to the global warming crisis.

About global warming, I gotta be honest with you, I can't understand the denier position at all. There are other moronic Republican positions that at least make some semblance of sense. But to deny global warming? You  have to be a total fucking idiot. But even so, to deny it, and then insist on buying a gas guzzler as a "spit in the face of those commie tree huggers", is idiot cubed. 

This country is going so far in the wrong direction it's more work than it's worth to point out every stupid thing that Bush, his cronies, or the do-nothing Congress pretends to do. If Bush does it, you can assume I'm 100% to 5000% against it, just on it's face. I can't think of a single thing Bush has done since Afghanistan that I have agreed with, and even then, I thought the execution of the Afghanistan campaign was seriously flawed.
