<< How she puts up with me
Geese flying over Portland afraid to ask directions >>

Just passing along a tidbit I read on blurbomat.com this morning.  The entry, titled It's Called Denial, basically describes it.  Why do Mormons like this administration?  Don't they question what is going on over in Iraq?  Or how the president is going to pay for things like the Katrina disaster without raising taxes and doing nothing but cutting taxes for corporations and the rich alike?

Sometimes though, you have to question things, like where the so-called weapons of mass destruction are?... or what an insurgent really is? (in Iraqi terms its nothing more than a citizen of that country who's had enough and wants us out)  Listen, I'm not an idiot.  I know that terrorists are NOT flocking to Iraq, as the president would like you to think.  By calling the insurgency a "terrorist uprising" shifts the view that if you are against us, you are a terrorist.  Sound familiar?  We have that going on over here in America right now.  If you are against the war in Iraq, you're un-American -that's bullshit, propaganda bordering on McCarthyism.  

We're no longer liberators, we've become invaders, occupiers -unwelcome guests who wont leave and don't get that they are no longer wanted, no longer a help!

Utah, wake up!  President Bush and his cabinet are doing this country a great disservice.  As Richard Cohen of the Washington Post says in his article Hold Bush Accountable (not his choice of titles by the way), we need to "Impeach George Bush" but even he knows, just as I do, that congress won't let that happen.

This is all like a bad dream that I can't wait to wake up from.
