To Those In Denial
This is a missive I recently sent to a Bush supporter in response to yet another scattershot and random defense of the president/attack on democrats. (Why are they so fascinated with Clinton's dick?) I'm weary of the unfocused, irrelevant and illogical rhetoric that passes for debate with these people. Please, if you aren't willing to acknowledge that Bush has ever made a mistake then there's no point in our even having a discussion. I'd no more waste my breath on you than I would trying to convince a schizophrenic he wasn't hearing the voice of God. Anyway, here it is.
Let me put it this way,
If George Bush were the CEO of a company, any company, he'd have been fired already. Period.
I find it astounding that there are those that continue to apologize for him, when many true conservatives and even his close Republican bedfellows are finally speaking out about his closemindedness, shallowness and incompetence as a leader. They're writing whole books on the subject. Finally they're beginning to see what half the country already knew: that this man, while being a fine gentleman and a swell guy, is no more a conservative than Teddy Kennedy. He has, since attaining office, promoted all the worst forms of big government, granting pork-barrel handouts to anyone who has the balls enough to ask, while also driving the government deeper and deeper into the everyday lives of ordinary Americans, in the form of regressive social agendas and intrusive and rights-abusing police activities.
Anyone I've met who continues to uncritically support him has an agenda. For most, it's generally a concern about abortion, often confounded with a need to "stop judges from legislating from the bench", sometimes followed by a desire to return America to it's origins as a "Christian nation." Others, of course, have a pure business or political motive, in that his activities are filling their coffers or providing them jobs.
I'm not here to pass judgement on your agenda. That's your business and you're welcome to it. But either way, it's clearer now, more than ever, that you are wrong about the man. You have every right to continue to be wrong, I suppose. Godspeed and good luck with that. But, for your sake, my sake and our children's sake, please open your eyes and take a look at what's really going on with the world.
