Patriotic Americans?

Morialekafa is back from a few days in paradise. British Columbia, western Alberta, and the Rocky Mountains have to be among the most beautiful parts of the entire world. But, back to grim reality.

Wouldn’t you think that any normal patriotic American would want to have a President the world would admire, trust, and look up to? And wouldn’t that same American want a President who would unite the country behind him? And wouldn’t he want a President who would tell the truth about what was happening in the country and the world? Perhaps I am wrong but that is the kind of President I would like to have.

It is quite obviously the case that George W. Bush is not such a President. He and his administration are hated and reviled by virtually the entire world. He has divided our country to an extent not seen since the Civil War or at least the Vietnam era. He has lied to us repeatedly and continues to do so on a daily basis. The hatred of Bush is palpable in both Canada and the United States, and also in most nations of the world. Republicans have commented on this, expressing surprise that it should be so. But why should it not be so?

But as it is so, and quite obviously so, what does this say for Republicans who continue to support Bush/Cheney and their evil empire? Apparently their thirst for money and power outweigh any patriotism they feel. The attitude seems to be, we've got ours and want more and more and to hell with the rest of you.

They rail against so-called tax and spend Democrats while they themselves have become simply spend and spend Republicans and leave the bill to our kids and grandkids If this is the kind of Presidency you want, vote for Bush/Cheney. If not, vote for John Kerry. There is at the moment no other viable choice.
