Sunday, March 20 The Right Wing Anti Poster Girl
Often when it comes to things political He’s sorta my own personal …google on a lotta issues Another think I love about Gus is that he is willing to lash out at things he hates about the Dems as well as the Republicans…which makes his opinions all the more valuable.. Now…of course, it’s no secret how I feel about this administration, just read the preceding post or a whole bunch of other ones.. but I’ve also been extremely curious to see what it is that so many people like about George Junior…because every single person I talk to on any kind of regular basis, including about 90% of my clients just hates the guy... full on hate, but then I’m a New Yorker… Reading thru the many comments on my “George Bush Challenge” post I was first struck with the same thing that always happens whenever I post anything against Bush…a wave of anger. That is not to say liberals are not capable of angry ranting as well. I've experienced that first hand in response to my 100% pro-Israel position...but it sure has happened that every time I have ever had the Chutzpah to come out and say exactly how I feel about the baby bush, the back lash is pretty friggen rude. Let me tell you ...the ones I deleted weren’t even human. So here’s what I’m willing to concede about the baby bush…no one person can ever be held accountable for the economy…but certainly the tax cuts for the rich and the service cuts for the poor did not fair well, nor did the billions he has spent in Iraq and if you scroll back to my war time rants, you will see that I was not exactly against going to war, but I was totally against going to war on a lie and without the U.N. and without proving why and without having a plan and so on and so on. As to the Patriot Act, a good pal just told me that her library records had come back to haunt her …Then I got to thinking of how my life is affected on a daily basis by this. Just last night, I waited in line an hour to go into the Holland Tunnel because no one in my van wanted to get the Easy Pass which would get us thru the tunnel in 10 minutes but put our goings on in the easy to track files.for the CIA or whoever else.. Gus had this to day on the subject of the patriot act.. I also quoted a few posts back from Matrixland on the subject of loss of privacy which is pretty much what the Patriot Act means to me. “Loss of privacy.” As to the subject of social security… I am not saying social security doesn’t need help…I’m saying I certainly haven’t heard George Bush say anything that shows me he knows what he’s talking about or how to help Social Security and having been someone who has privately invested with the supposed best advisors and lost my shirt..I have some very real and justifiable fear in what will happen to this money.. I know Republicans are not fond of anything that reeks of socialism and maybe they feel social security is just that and needs to be privatized. but what happens if everyone loses their shirt like really, most green folks do in the stock market…and then come crying to the government when they’re old and broke…we certainly will not be able to let them starve on the street… Gus’s point on this subject was.. “He (bush) grossly overstates the problems and his proposed solution doesn’t even address those problems. He wants to borrow money to set up a parallel system, so folks won’t mind so much when the old one gets busted up.” And Mike…as always you crack me up…The Right Wing anti-poster girl…..sure seems so…but you know I’d rather be that, then The Right Wing poster girl..or worse yet. The girl afraid to voice her opinion.. Anyway..as always, I invited diversity here on Rossirant..so leave your comments below…but I do ask you to try and get your point across with some amount of good behavior because if you don’t I will delete you and then no one will read whatever it was you were trying to say. Oh as to church and state…What we’ve got is a real deal born again boy in the white house I’ve definitely had the feeling, as have a whole lotta others that the baby bush thinks he’s being divinely inspired… Forget about the environment! Just out of curiosity has there ever been a president worse for the environment?? I’d really like to know on that one. There was one comment I really have to mention and speaking of comments JR…when you do comment in English and in a space that can be read in a few paragraphs, not the mile long scroll down of the last post..I often find what you have to say interesting. I rarely agree with you, are most often annoyed by you but you do often manage to get your point across which I would imagine is really the purpose of these forums isn’t it? Since only a few of you touched on the environment..
