when the republic became an empire

But the Shrub sure ain’t no Julius Caesar. For that matter, look what happened to Julius Caesar.

JustMe, I love your rants: “…am I the only one sick of paying his way to USE the troops to make a speech?”

You can’t imagine how sick I got when he defiled the USS Abraham Lincoln to do his flyboy “Mission Accomplished” stunt. My jaw dropped, and continues to drop after each brazen act. And that was just the start.

When the history of this country is written, it will be shown that it was during this administration, more than any other, when the republic became an empire, when the mindset of the president changed from being an employee of the people to being their ruler.

Getting a Democrat (or somebody sane) into office won’t change things much if the country is bankrupted, and everyone is then dependent on the rich for survival. That’s their plan. That’s what aristocracy has always wanted.

The thing I noticed about hardball were simpson’s comments about Bush’s speech today.When I watched bush, I thought it was “justme” but after listening to simpson I felt it even more: That speech was meant to tell us”Now look here, I am the boss and we are doing things my way”….like a parent would talk to children who were daring to question him…some think it was cute to see “leadership” and they give him approval because he scolded us none believers!
Well ,,,that pisses me off ,,,as cheney would say”what a major league asshole”….How dare he address his employers like that??Did no one tell the little dictator he is suppose to be working FOR US??He wasn’t even man enough to admit he screwed up…he danced around the issue ,,and the had the nerve to blast the public for not sitting still in the waiting room..
I would love to tell you where he can shove that 38 page load of crap the tax payers funded..have you read this rubbish? It is utter bullshit!
We will stay until Iraq has a democracy???Are you friggin kidding me??IS HE PLANNING TO FUND THIS OUT OF HIS POCKET???Why didn’t he just say we are staying until pigs fly,,or hell freezes over?
Then Simpson has the gull to say”He’s in it for the long haul,, this kid means business” …What the hell? Bush is on vacation all the damn time,,riding his bike like a child..he can’t be bothered to attend funerals or think about the people who will suffer so he can feel like a tough man who means business.
And am I the only one sick of paying his way to USE the troops to make a speech?Is it not enough for these troops to be risking their life,? now they have to be used as propaganda tools?What next?, maybe he will have them clearing brush on his ranch?He uses troops because he KNOWS none will dare to step out of line lest they be punished..it is harder to punish regular people…
If george bush is so friggin worried about democracy in Iraq I forone would be glad to excuse him from his duties here to go to Iraq and work on his pipe dream……..

Until the American public is made to understand that our troops are fighting against the former Iraqi military and not against terrorists the admin can get away saying the same bullshit over and over. Saddam had about 200K well trained soldiers and about that many not so very well trained. Their former intelligence services provide the logistics and they know where all the ammo dumps are. It really will take years before the new Iraqi army can deal with the old one. And we should never forget it was that medal wearing idiot Bremmer who fired the old army and put them all out of work and paychecks. Possibly the worst decision made, after the one the idiots made deciding to invade in the first place.

I’m thinking a political undersea earthquake is about to hit which will be followed by one big-ass tsunami.There is a limit to the amount of truth which can be hidden from the masses, thanks to cyberspace. And the Lord said” Fasten thy seatbelts…..”
