The election results are in and 'Dubya' will be your president for another four years.
Look for:
A truly sad day in America. I'm embarassed for us. We've re-elected a goon and a bully, not by mistake or default or due to screwy ballot counting seemingly, but on purpose. Half you seem to want to be ruled by such a man. You long for a dictator, you got one. What were you thinking? It was fear and ignorance. That is the only possible explanation, unless you just like to be on the winning side. The side of the sly, greased down, smiling bastards.
Bush lied about the war and half of you don't care. He fumbled the war once we were embroiled in it and half of you don't care. He has hypnotized us with half founded fears and half of you don't notice.
Americans by and large side with the bully, with the stupid, with the charming, with the vapid. Might makes right. Money equals power equals virtue. A few simple vocabulay words like 'values, 'terror' and 'security' ,oft repeated, though devoid of meaning seem to have a narcotic effect on half of you. We are a nation of mean-spirited sheep, isolationsts sheep, reactive elitist sheep.
Look for the election (should we even need to have one, perhaps Bush will simply appoint his successor, why not?) to be more expensive intrusive and divisive in four more years. We Americans, it seems, no longer have much in common with each other. How can we stand as one people? I can't even talk to half of you. We lack a common vocabulary and mutual respect. America is united no more.
The likes of me should be put on reservations or internment camps, we don't beleong in America proper any longer. Not as citizens anyway. Possibly we should separate folks into citizens and the service class. That makes sense.
One funny thing though. I saw Ted Kennedy on TV last night and was struck by the physical similarities between he and Bush -- over sized head, somewhat exaggerated features, virtually the same hair --and I thought, that is what you get when you set out to breed politicians. Ponnochios that look good on TV.
Look for:
- an increase in pointless,or at least duplicitedly pointed, American aggression in the name of safety and security.
- A eroding of the economic security of the middle class and a subsequent dropping out of the middle class.
- An accompanying rise in the new middle class also known as the working poor.
- A more divisive America combined with even less attention being paid to those of us on the losing side.
- An increase in the growing gap between the rich (the winners! yea!) and everyone else ( the losers, boo!).
- decreased engagement in education both public and private
- An erosion of our civil liberties in the name of security.
- Flag waving and war mongering marketed as patriotism.
- A sharp jump in Haliburton stock.
- Bush to exact revenge of some kind on those that opposed him.
