AmeriKKKa Has spoken!

We, on the Left, need to keep a close eye on the latest GOP linguistic

twist--the deadly word: MANDATE. Bush announced at the so called

election victory: “America has spokenâ€. Hidden translation: Now

that Rove n' Co. has manipulated the necessary voting numbers behind

them, they will go a step further to say THE PEOPLE are asking for and

further legitimizing their neo-con agenda. Bush says, " It's like, I

have gained political capital, and I intend to spend it. " Well...what

else is new? Bush spends, and spends and spends beyond anything to

spend in the first place. Bush says, " I look forward to working with

everyone who supports my goals. " This is his best answer to unifying a

divided nation? In other words, we are hearing a second term of: " You

are either with us or against us. "

 

 

Let us pause and breath...First of all, the People have spoken

alright. And at least 53+ million, half of the population of

registered voters are saying: We the People fire George W. Bush for

despicable incompetence. And out of that 53 million+ another sizable

group with years of research and study is yelling†" You stole the

first election and committed so many crimes while in office that

regardless of how you think you “earned capital†by the people,

YOU HAVE NO FURTHER BUSINESS AS IMPOSTOR-IN-CHIEF.

 

 

A “Mandateâ€, George W. Bush insists. What MANDATE might that be?

PNAC? Privatization of everything and corporate ownership by the elite

who have had most of life handed to them on a platter? What else might

that MANDATE be? Writing discrimination against gay and lesbian

citizens into the Constitution? Taking away a women's right to choose?

Only a mere oxymoron to the core of American Independence always won

by dissent, but never mind, because the Moral Majority cannot fathom

what that means. Let's keep going. MANDATE: Spreading

" Democracy " --that is, American Right-Winged Imperialism all over the

world by preemptive war after war. And this is what the Right Wingers

brags about as their sacred MORALS AND VALUES? Just like the gentleman

of MORALITY from Ohio, who said tonight on NPR, " I voted for Bush

because he stands for values and morals: he opposes partial birth

abortion and the ban on gay marriage. I mean, I don't care if people

choose to be homosexuals, but I don't want their business in my face,

especially since it's against the Will of God. " Well...so much for

awareness and education. I guess this MORAL gentleman is incapable of

learning that most homosexuals do NOT choose to be gay or

lesbian--because they are perfectly born that way BY GOD'S WILL.

 

So, Bush and rabid right-wingers once again, want to sweep aside the

other 53 million PLUS people as a silent minority, in a country that

founded its principles on the aspiration to tolerating diversity,

lifestyles, choice of belief systems, and the _expression of that, for

MINORITY voice as well. This is what " freedom and justice for all "

meant in the days of intellectual development. For those who exclude

the intellect as " something unholy, lacking in values and morals " ,

perhaps they could use some serious tutoring to realize that the

critical origin of our Declaration of Independence took a lot of

combined intellectual and heart wisdom consideration. One would be

required to study pre-American history and contemplate WHY rule by LAW

was set up by our Constitutional framers. And, of course, that takes a

certain but basic capacity to begin with, which I fear is missing in a

lot of Americans today.

 

Under the past four years of a toxic, oppressive atmosphere of fear

and intimidation of “the war on terrorismâ€; under Karl Rove’s

subversive merging of church and state to rally the brainwashed

populations, one has to ask, WHO out of that other 50+ million who

voted for Bush actually voted, not only with their hearts, but with

their minds? Who voted with an educated voice that was free of fear,

free of misalignment with their perceived Messiah or Messenger of God?

Who out of this Bush-voter population understood that election night

is a civil event for the benefit of all, not a prayer meeting of

weak-willed, God-blaming interest groups who pray for close-minded

specifics at their wish-fulfilling tree? But, do some Americans know

the difference anymore? The demolished Ralph Nader was actually given

a moment of air time on CNN yesterday to say: “Americans are NOT

doing their homework if they are voting for this miserable George Bush

who turns his back on the middle class and feeds the corporate-owned

machine.†Now, I don’t have much sympathy for Ralph these days,

after he had no problem accepting the backing of the GOP to get on

state ballots. However, he is still an expert in regards to corporate

scandal, and he is correct in saying: Americans are not doing their

homework. That is a polite way of putting it, Mr. Nader. And, this

point of failure on civic homework has been a critical part left out

of the ongoing media discussions of “What did the Democrats do

wrong?†While there are definite errors to contemplate and discuss

from the recent Democratic campaign, Democrats and Progressives have

NOTHING to apologize for. We also did a lot of things right. However,

there is a huge wild card factor which Democrats, liberals,

progressives, and even Republicans against Bush tried to address:

Getting the facts and resources out to encourage voters to become

informed. How does one update and educate the uneducated, the stubborn

and brainwashed? It cannot be done over night, if done at all. So, if

voters are uninformed, basing their vote on propagandized perceptions

that a presidential leader is “moral and principled because he

appears to have good family values and prays to Jesusâ€, or, if

because he is the kind of guy, they say, you want to sit down and have

a beer with, then I don’t accept that as America speaking with any

sort of presence of mind that deserves serious consideration, less

interpreted into a MANDATE of all things. Rather, it is AmeriKKKa, in

all of its foolishness speaking.

 

Yet, this mandate business is already posing a huge threat. I found it

quite unsettling today, to hear one of the screeching Dem haters, Bay

Buchanan, be given waaaay too much air time for an unbalanced person

to argue that this election is a mandate. And the mandate, she says,

is one that the people of this country are overwhelmingly asking for a

return to tradition-- " liberals are being rejected...We don’t want

anymore of that (immoral) Hollywood stuffâ€, she barks with a boiling

scowl of hatred on her face. Good God, she must be a cousin to the

other vile Fascist, Ann Coulter.

 

Hollywood stuff? Hello? Hey, hand Ms. Bay a gun from the cold dead

hands of her Hollywood star, Carlton Heston, and she’d probably not

even blink while pulling a cold, metal trigger on any nasty

“Liberal or Democratâ€. But of course, she would consider her

actions only MORAL and DECENT. My response to her and her clones: If

you think you represent MORAL models, for Bush’s MORALLY unjustified

war, and MORALLY reckless, record-breaking fiscal spending, and MORAL

AND DECENT no-bid contracting and profiteering off of war, the MORAL

outsourcing of American jobs, the MORAL AND DECENT tax breaks for the

wealthiest 1%, the MORAL and DECENT roll back for overtime pay which

further shrinks the middle class pay check, the MORAL raping and

pillaging of our National Wildlife Reserves, the MORALITY of breaking

promise after promise to delivering an allocated funding to homeland

security, health care, child care and education, the MORALITY of

telling our troops: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED before over-extending their

war assignments and sending our national guard and reserves out with

them, not trained or equipped well enough to fight the worst of the

insurgency†" then, lady, YOU go put on a combat suit, board a plane

and go fight your MORAL HOLY JIHAD yourself. Don’t send the IMMORAL

liberals to fight your MORAL wars for you. YOU and your MORAL friends

can continue to do the MORAL pro-life work of bombing, raiding and

massacring villages and cities of innocent men, women and children on

your own. We have never wanted any part of it, because in our kind of

America, NOT YOUR AmeriKKKa, we believe that Democracy can only

truly come from within, by example of a well cared for homeland that

is the top priority of a well-earned leadership. We therefore VALUE

debate, diplomacy, open society, and tolerance towards diversity. We

value the morality of a national defense that is based on global

treaties of nuclear and WMD NON-proliferation, adequately safe border

and cargo monitoring into our own country, environmental protection,

public health and safety. We value our police and fire forces, our

public libraries, our education system, family planning, child &

health care. We especially value watching out for neighbors who may

have been dealt too many blows and need a helping hand. But, this kind

of neighborliness and care for ourselves seems to be getting a very

bad rap under your Right-Wing MORAL mandates.
