I Can't Help It

I've been trying to avoid the political discussion. It's been so stupid that I figger there's no need to add my remarks. But this one really gets my goat. Cheney actually said that the war is escalating and Americans are getting killed in Iraq because of the election. He either thinks we are very very stupid, or he is very very stupid. I'm betting it's the first. But then again, it's very very stupid to assume all Americans are very very stupid. Iraquis are killing Americans simply because they hate what we are doing there. Pure and simple. They've been killing Americans since America tried to take it over, and they will continue to kill Americans as long as America continues to try to make them come over to "the right way of thinking". Emphasis on "the right".

It cracked me up to hear Bush calling the Muslims "fascists" again. Earlier this year his speech writers promised to stop using a term that is so obviously untrue to even the least educated American. I guess people like Bush don't feel like they need to look up the meaning of words before they use them. Too weird. Guess he figured if he used it out loud again people would stop calling him that word even though it fits our country much more than the Islamic country. Look at our poor voter turn-out. Americans simply do not believe in democracy anymore - which is the condition necessary to allow fascism to thrive. Don't try to read between the lines. I'm not calling Bush a fascist. Although, I do recall him saying once that he'd prefer to be a dictator over being President. I like to believe he was kidding, but one never knows about people who spent a few years in Texas. Humor seems to elude many here.
