Republican ideas

These compassionate Republicans are just full of really good ideas. They just don't carry them far enough. Republican Steve King (IA - although I don't know what state that actually is at the moment) has designed an electric fence for our border with Mexico. He says why not, we do it for cattle all the time. It is pretty obvious that his opinion of Mexicans (and others from South and Central America) is not very flattering. I think an electric fence is a really good idea. But better yet, we could brand them. Well, maybe the Supreme Court would not go for that (don't bet on it). Well, shucks, if we can't brand them we ought to be at least able to put tags in their ears. That wouldn't hurt too much and then we'd know who was who and who belonged to which corporation and etc. I love Republicans. They are so creative.

Valerie Plame is going to sue Cheney, Libby and Rove for conspiring to destroy her career. What a great development. She ought to have a really good case. Except for the fact that the Republicans have managed to load the courts with a majority of Republican toadies who will probably conclude that it was all Bill Clinton's fault. I love Republicans. They are so fair-minded and democratic.

Our poor, pathetic, helpless, marginally retarded and pretty much thoughtless and disinterested chief executive has come out strongly in favor of Israel's attack on Lebanon. "They have a right to defend themselves," he says. I guess by defending themselves he means imposing terrible hardships of one and a half million innocent Palestinians who cannot realistically defend themselves. After all, what do they need electricity and water for anyway? And food, who needs food, especially children? And medical supplies and attention? They should have thought of that before they kidnapped an Israel soldier. Disgusting towelheads, they just don't think ahead. We (the U.S., that is) couldn't possibly do anything to stop this genocidal behavior. We might upset the Israeli lobby. You want to know why they don't attack Iran? Because they are going to get us to do it for them. After all, we are nothing but an extension of the Israeli army. This is compassionate conservatism at its finest. Happily, I don't believe in heaven and hell. If I did there is no doubt in my mind where we are all going to end up. Never forget, we are good and they are bad. That's all you need to know. If you're not with us you're against us. Black is white. Up is down. Right is wrong and vice-versa. It's the Republican way. The concept of war crimes is just "quaint." The President is always right. If he seems to be breaking a law let's just change the law. Anything to stay in power - who cares about either the nation or its citizens? Full speed ahead. Profit before people. Corporations rule. Let's hear it for greed, greed is good. You think we should have universal health care? You stupid socialist bastards! You think people should have a decent wage? Communist finks! You think Congress should have an annual raise? Of course. This is a system in which the more useless you are the more you should be rewarded. I used to love America, and then I grew up.
