1/23/06: President Bush is still convinced that by destroying our rights to privacy, by disregarding the Bill of Rights, and by assuming all Americans are guilty of conspiring to commit terrorism he is actually protecting us and preserving our freedoms. Torture is now openly regarded by President Bush as not only necessary in his worldwide war, IT IS TO be HAPPILY ENGAGED. Human rights do not apply to anyone. All are assumed to be lying, in agreement with terrorists, or plotting to commit acts of terrorism. NO one is safe. We are not safe. We are not to be trusted.
“The government knows best,” that seems to be George W. Bush’s interpretation of America. If you agree with George Bush, Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, Pat Robertson, etc., then that is cool. But if you disagree with President Bush’s policies, guess what?? YOU CAN BE LABLED AS GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY AND YOU MAY BE IMPRISONED WITHOUT WARNING, TRIAL, OR PHYSICAL CAUSE.
And who gave the President this “power” that he claims is within the scope of the “law?” WE DID! We are all to blame for this mess. If we do not stand up to this horrifying encroachment upon our liberties, we may end up as those in the (once democratic—yes, the Soviet Union started out as a practicing democracy!) Soviet Union ended up when Joseph Stalin began his war on terrorism. As Stalin was reported to have said, “Those who VOTE decide nothing. Those who COUNT the votes decide everything.”
If George Bush is to fully succeed in (what appears to be) a well-planned offensive against the US Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights, he will have to have the continued support of the US Congress. And don’t be fooled. The US Congress overwhelmingly approved Bush’s usurpation of the people’s power in this country shortly after September 11, 2001. And now those (mainly Democrats) who voted FOR Bush’s plan to shut We The People out of the debate have decided that they don’t like what they did. Yet they continue to support the President by not calling him into account for his crimes against humanity, his crimes against the US Constitution, and his crimes against common sense.
Today, in America, it is legal for agents of the US government to invade our privacy, search our belongings, seize whatever they like and not be accountable to anyone for their actions. That is right: they never have to tell you about what they have done or what they are planning to do to you. IT HAS BECOME ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO EVEN TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY MAY HAVE DONE TO YOU. Man, is this crazy or what? Please—PLEASE!—call your local elected representative and tell that person to investigate President Bush for his obvious disregard for human life, and for his outrageous attacks against the people of America.
On second thought, we could be totally wrong, and George W. Bush could be the Anointed One, sent by God, to set us free from evil. Whatever.
Seriously, please get involved by informing yourselves about the issues and by voting for candidates who oppose the policies of George Bush. If Bush and his allies (this includes political cowards like Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle, and others like them) are allowed to stay in power, it may not be too long before even our right to vote will be taken away in the name of more “security.” Though, even “American” democracy seems to be no more than a tepidly defended, crumbling façade that has never been allowed to fully take affect in our “land of the free.”
Do something. Refuse to accept society’s decrees. What has society done for us so far besides give us a world of wars based on lies, hatred and intolerance toward anyone different than us, religious bigotry, induced poverty, greed-driven movements to destroy our health, etc?
Bullsh*t.
Do something.
OLD NEWS…Terrorist Bush is in for another four years. But does that mean we have to get used to it?? So now we have a Secretary of State whose primary mission is telling our President that he’s always right? Yeah. Our new Attorney General wrote the book (almost literally) on use of torture and disregard for the protection of human rights. Our returning Secretary of War is still convinced that killing and murder are pro-life. And Dick Cheney is still running the show. HA! Please contact your congressional representative and tell that person to defy the BushCo regime. NO MORE KILLING AND MURDER FOR PROFITS! No more PATRIOT Act! No more war on freedom! No more Theocracy!
America has gone from at least pretending to be a shining lamp of life and liberty to blatantly trampling on human rights for corporatist capital gain. And in the meantime, so-called pro-life activist (concerned rightly with the fate of unborn children) blindly support George Bush, because Bush claims to be a Christian. It’s time to see and say the truth: Bush is liar and murderer, and he needs to be impeached. When will it end? Will it end? Or maybe God (if there is a God) has indeed chosen GW BUSH—to punish the United States for its sinfulness and greed. C’mon, people. Please write and tell us what you think about our current political situation. Or just write us to tell us that we suck!
Call us--we will play for free!! See details below!!
“Trust your government...” And what does that mean, exactly? Well for starters, if they don’t like the way you walk—YOU’RE UNDER ARREST! If they don’t like the way you are moving your eyes—YOU’RE UNDER ARREST! If they don’t like the way you are holding your hands—YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!! If they don’t like the way you voted...
You get the idea. Yeah, they tried this once (and it worked pretty well for a while)—in the USSR. A guy by the name of Joseph Stalin used fear and intimidation widely in his Soviet police state. People were daily captured and arrested—civilians, military personnel, judges, poets, intellectuals, workers—all were under arrest if the “Boss” willed it. Terror is quiet an effective tool in the hands of a dictator. Just ask another dictator (er, former dictator, that is) named Saddam Hussein. All the while the subjects of their terror were told that they were being protected. That’s right: it was for their good.
We are arresting you or your own good. Now, come quietly. That’s right. Shut up now! Put this on. Yes, that is right—it’s for your own good. Now tell us what you’ve done. Oh, what’s that? Need a little persuasion, eh? Very well, we can and will be happy top accommodate you. After all, torture IS legal now in the USA; thanks to our Pro-life Mr. Bush. Hey, honey, what’s that? Knock at the door? But it’s only 3 AM. Hey!! NO!! WAIT!! I am a loyalist Republican!! YEEEAAAHHHH!!! N-N-NOOOOOOOOO-O-O-O!! Yeah. You’re right. It could never happen here. Or could it...
2,000 Murdered U.S. soldiers, 20,000 U.S. soldiers injured and maimed—thanks to George W. Bush’s religious war on freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. No wonder Bush totally opposed the International Criminal Court—he is terrified he will be indicted as war criminal. Help defend America by helping to depose Bush!
1.7 million U.S. vets with NO health insurance. This the America defended by George W. Bush. Bring ‘em on, huh? Mission accomplished, ya’ll.
Do NOT repeal the USA PATRIOT Act!! That way we don’t have to think; we can just leave it all up to our loving, benevolent government... Or, on second thought—we can fight to stop the racist prison industrial complex in California and nationwide!
Please call us we will play for free. As long as the show is free to the public we will play for free at parties, house, special events, social demonstrations, and rallies!! But you gotta call us. Call us at (909) 557-7982.
DO NOT LET BUSHCO DO ANY MORE DAMAGE TO OUR DEMOCRACY!! Hooray, America. Wave your flags on Memorial Day--that's all the help our selfless and exploited troops are gonna get, thanks to BUSHCO's wartime tax cuts. Our One-Party system rules! wheeeeeeeeeee!!
Call your congressional REP. or Senator and tell that person to fight the BushCo. Administration’s fascist terrorism in IRAQ and its destruction of peace and security worldwide!
Contact President Bush and remind him that though the people of the United States didn’t elect him, he still must answer to the People of the United States. Tell President Bush to stop the lies in Iraq and Afghanistan and worldwide and here in the USA.
You can contact President Bush at www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Email: President@whitehouse.gov Tel. Comments: 202-456-1111; Switchboard: 202-456-1414; FAX: 202-456-2461
