War, Gay Marriage, Flag Burning and They're All A Bunch of Crooks
The occupation of Iraq continues to be an ugly bloody mess. Things are not getting any better in Afghanistan. Parts of Africa sink farther into chaos. At home, the gasoline price games continue to the delight of the oil companies. It’s becoming apparent that the 2004 presidential election was stolen just like the 2000 election. Corruption continues unabated in D.C..
And what are the Republicans doing to straighten out the various messes? They’re having their propaganda wing jack us up with b.s. about gay marriage (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2003051934_krauthammer12.html), flag burning, and so on and so forth. Anything but reality and resolution. Why would they want to actually deal with problems? They know they can rig the voting machines and hustle the theocrats into believing anything. The election, even if the Democrats continue to shoot themselves in the feet, is in the Republicans’ pockets. Even if the Dems should win, will things change? Nah.
The Dems are as crooked as the Republicans—been that way for years. The Republicans used to buy politicians while the Democrats bought urban votes. The money, though, the ongoing big big money, is what makes the difference in policies. Where the money is the government policies are sure to follow. I have no doubt that if the Dems were running the show, and they’d messed up as badly as the Republicans have, they’d be out promising to tar and feather any same-sex couples they came across. Or declare war against Bananastan.
Both parties answer to the same masters.
Makes you proud to be an American, doesn’t it?
