This is for America's right wing politicians who are so bitter now that they are out of power. First off, let me say: Go fuck yourselves, you lying, arrogant and traitorous pieces of dog shit. Secondly, good riddance. And thirdly, don't make any plans for the immediate future to get back in power. Your abysmal record while in power speaks for itself, and your behavior when voted out of power reveals you to be the very worst sort of people that America has produced. You have no honor, no integrity and no courage, and you take pride in your ignorance and stupidity.
The American right wing in recent years has been playing by the Joseph Goebbel's playbook. Yes, that Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Party Minister of Propaganda. He was the guy who put forth the proposition that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. That theory didn't exactly work out all that well for himself, his boss Adolph, for Germany or the world. No matter how many times he called the sky green, it persisted in remaining blue, and only complete assholes took anything he said seriously.
But there were enough assholes to do the whole world a lot of harm, to the tune of 50 to 60 million people killed, countless cities destroyed, wiping out the work of centuries, and a hostile world divided in a Cold War for the next 45 years. It was called World War 2 and it was started by lying right wing sacks of shit who had to be defeated at horrendous cost by sane people. Maybe today's lying right wing sacks of shit feel that enough time has passed that people will forget the tactics that gave rise to Naziism and opened the floodgates to World War. Not a chance.
Repeating lies over and over just makes them monotonous lies, never the truth. Saying things like "everybody knows" and "it's as plain as day" doesn't mean a thing when there are no facts and figures to back up such broad statements. For example, all of a sudden a whole bunch of right wingers claim to be experts on military courts, as narrow and rare a specialty as there is. They claim that military courts are a better and cheaper forum for the trials of accused terrorists, when the fact is that our regular court system has tried and convicted hundreds of accused terrorists while military courts have convicted fewer than a dozen.
Why the interest in subverting open and fair American justice? This is the sort of thinking that led to the traitorous legislation called The Patriot Act, as blatant an attack on The Bill of Rights as has ever been perpetrated. The subsequent spying upon American citizens and the interception of their mail was sold by fear mongers as a necessary measure, handing another victory to the terrorists to go along with 9/11. Here's what these right wing anti-American assholes did while they held power:
Allowed America's first and only dictator to rule for 8 years: By installing George Bush the Younger, a man who couldn't beat a 10 year-old at Tic-Tac-Toe, as the nominal "President," Shotgun Dick Cheney ruled America with an iron fist for 8 years from the office of the Vice Presidency. Representing the wealthy corporate and ruling elite, Shotgun Dick helped transfer trillions of dollars from the pockets of the working classes to the pocket of the super wealthy through a series of tax cuts. By the time he left office, the wealthiest among us, fewer than 1% of Americans owned more wealth and assets than the bottom 95% combined.
Gutted our regulatory agencies: By underfunding and short-staffing the agencies that oversee the people who handle everybody's money, the right wing politicians allowed the Greed Fest on Wall Street that nearly resulted in the collapse of our economy in 2008. There's a reason why every 7-Eleven has a camera trained on the cash register - money is a powerful temptation. By turning off the security cameras, so to speak, on those who handle trillions of dollars, people who were already fabulously wealthy proceeded to steal untold billions for themselves and did damage to our economy that will take years to straighten out.
Attacked the wrong country: By attacking Iraq based on a pack of lies, The Cheney Administration committed a war crime and cost America almost 4,400 of our precious sons and daughters in an unnecessary and illegal war.
Allowed New Orleans to drown: When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area, the Federal Government's response was slow and insufficient, and yet the puppet president Bush The Younger was instructed to praise the head of FEMA, the agency charged with responding to natural disasters. Hell of a job, indeed.
Violated the Geneva convention by torturing prisoners: By introducing Illegal and immoral Gestapo-type torture by Americans, The Cheney Administration put our own soldiers at risk of the same treatment in the event of their capture, and robbed this nation of whatever moral high ground we held and the global support we enjoyed in the aftermath of 9/11.
Betrayed an American spy for political reasons: The Cheney Administration was directly responsible for exposing Valerie Plame as a spy because her husband had been openly critical of his administration's crimes and tactics. This traitorous act not only put Ms. Plame's life at risk, but likely was a death warrant to anyone with whom she had dealings in the foreign nations where she operated. She had been engaged in tracking down and securing contraband nuclear material that could be used to make weapons of mass destruction, so the Cheney Administration's exposure of this operation also put the whole world at risk of a bootleg nuclear device landing in the hands of terrorists or unstable dictators. Cheney sacrificed a minor aide to pay for the crime, a grown man named (!) Scooter, and he got off with a minor offense, and then Cheney had the Puppet Bush commute his sentence.
Tampered with 9/11 evidence and helped material witnesses escape: After the 9/11 attacks, masterminded by Osama bin Laden, the Cheney Administration removed all the security tapes from the Pentagon, never to be found. Less than two weeks later, when the rest of the nation was still not allowed to fly so much as a kite, members of bin Laden's family were secretly flown out of America under protection of the United States Air Force. American investigators would consider the immediate family of the perpetrator of the most devastating attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor to be "persons of interest" to be interviewed, whether or not they had any information on the attack or the whereabouts of bin Laden. It is no small coincidence that the bin Laden family had for decades been business associates of the family of the puppet President Bush. What didn't Cheney want the FBI to find out?
The list of criminal acts and outrages against the civil liberties of American citizens goes on and on. These people inherited a land of peace and prosperity with a sizable budget surplus and left it 8 years later an economic wreck, bogged down in 2 long wars, the gap between rich and poor wider than ever. It will take decades to undo the damage they did, to replace the money they stole and rebuild the economy they wrecked through greed and criminality. Is there any reason why anyone one would vote them back in power again? They have done quite enough damage already, thank you. Fuck them and their feeble lies and sour grapes whining. Their days of spreading fear and lies in order to divide, conquer and plunder are over. On the outside looking in is the place they earned, and it is where they belong. Fuck 'em.
