I guess a citizen of any country cannot really get angry at their leader for plunging their homeland into a state of war. In all honesty leaders of nations send their countries off to war all of the time, and sometimes it is actually for the greater good of the nation in question, or even they nation they plan to attack. Although, a citizen of a country can get angry, and has valid reason to protest when their leader sends their country off to war on the basis of a lie, on fabricated fears and gigantic miscalculations. When a leader starts a conflict with a foreign nation for their own financial and political gain, and to help mat the pockets of their corporate allies a citizen has not just the right but also the duty to protest this action. It was these types of atrocities, and tyrannical actions that led to the American Revolution so many years ago. George W. Bush and his entire administration have done just that, they have taken America to war on a variety of lies, and for their own personal and political benefit. They have allowed for the deaths of over three thousand American soldiers, and over one hundred thousand Iraqi civilians in the pursuit of their own mindless ideals, and they hide these ideals by saying that they are spreading freedom throughout the world.

On his inauguration day George W. Bush delivered a speech that was filled to the brim with biblical references and rhetoric. He tried to look like a man that spoke directly to god and was answering a call from the Father himself to set the many oppressed nations of the world free. My suggestion to Mr. Bush is that if he is so keen on setting oppressed nations free he starts right on home soil, here in the United States. The U.S. Patriotic Act signed into law by Mr. Bush restricts many of the freedoms we as Americans once had. It has allowed different branches to U.S. government to tap phone calls, emails, and more all without notifying the person in question that they are doing it. While our government says that this is used for the prevention of terrorist attacks, it is being used as a tool against the American people.

As Bush delivered that speech he was also spending over fifty million dollars on ceremonies for his inauguration. His tailored suits and his wife Laura’s gowns alone could have put armor on hundreds of vehicles and U.S. troops, and while the theme of the inauguration was to honor those who serve, they thought it more important that the president and Washington socialite’s party then U.S. troops be properly equipped. When asked my MSNBC why these millions of dollars were not being used to equip U.S. troops a Bush Inauguration official has the nerve to say – “We feel it important to celebrate the troop’s fine work that is why we are honoring them with this theme.” I would not think any less of any American solider if after hearing that they laid down their weapon and refused to fire one more shot for George W. Bush. In fact I would respect that action much more then mindlessly following the orders given by a corrupt neo-conservative madman.

Fifty million for the grandest party ever held. Fifty million when over one hundred thousand Asian citizens desperately need vaccinations to combat post tsunami illnesses. Fifty million when American soldiers need equipment, American citizens need health care, and our economy is in near ruin. All I can say to that action is how dare you Mr. Bush – HOW DARE YOU! George W. Bush who claims he knows Jesus the Christ so well forgets so many of Jesus’ most important teachings. He forgets that Jesus advised that a man sell everything he owns and gives the money he makes to the poor. He forgets that Jesus said if someone strikes you on one cheek that you turn the other to them. He forgets that Jesus supported peace and love, was humble and generous, and opposed killing and murder. The man Mr. Bush claims that he takes after was in fact nothing like George W. Bush, he was in reality everything that Bush is not. He stood for honesty and morals, compassion and freedom, concepts that George W. Bush is too meek and corrupt to even fathom. Bush who stood during his inauguration speech talking about liberty and freedom, just years earlier made the comment – “There should be limitations to freedom.” Those are the words of a dictator not a president; a madman not a follower of Christ.

Even Bush’s friends and associates leave a lot to be desired as far as morals are concerned. For a man like Bush, who spends over thirty percent of his time on vacation at his ranch in Austin, Texas it seems odd that he cannot find the time to attend at least one funeral for one of the soldiers he recklessly threw into harms way. Odd, that for Donald Rumsfeld who seems to have plenty of spare time for the things he desires cannot take the time to sign the death notices sent to families of killed U.S. soldiers from Iraq, and must have a machine that screens in his signature. I guess hearing about the death of a young person – a death an order you signed caused is a downer when you are President of the world’s last super power. I guess the fine wine, champagne, and prepared food does not taste quite as good after hearing about someone who’s live you stole by waging a war on false pretences. Then again a recovering alcoholic should not be drinking wine or champagne anyway…

Things though instead of getting better, seem only to be getting worse. Recently the Michigan State Police issued a video to Americans telling them how to spot a terrorist using seven signs. Some of those signs were everyday events that take place in nearly anyone’s life – using binoculars, reading and taking notes, visiting a public place, looking suspicious. I would like to know how someone “looks suspicious.” I guess if they are any other color than white in Bush’s terms they are out of the ordinary. If you follow this video as a guide every student, minority, and avid bird watcher or reader becomes an international terrorist. Scary.

What worries me most is that there are actually Americans who are in support of George W. Bush and his administration. There are American citizens, and immigrants alike that feel the war in Iraq is necessary, and as long as they are not the ones asked to do the fighting don’t mind seeing thirty or more Americans killed daily. Although the most heart breaking of all is the fact that there are still American citizens that believe Saddam Hussein was linked with Al-Queda and September 11^th 2001. This must be a real feather in the cap of Bush and Cheney when it comes to distorting the public, to actually plant false information in some one’s head using mass media brain wash.

Bush lied to those who lost family members on September 11^th. He lied to the people of Afghanistan when he claimed to be liberating them. He misled the country into a reckless war, and he sent a complete and utter asshole (Donald Rumsfeld) with no respect for human life to manage it. Without a doubt Bush is by far the worst President in the history of this country. In the words of Pittsburgh, PA based band Anti-Flag (http://www.antiflag.com) A TURNCOAT, KILLER, and THIEF. He stole his way into the white house in 2000, and again in 2004. For now those of us who are aware of the Bush conspiracies and wrong doings must digest another four year term. We watch as the GOP bashes political heroes like Barbara Boxer for speaking out against insane money driven politicians like Condoleezza Rice.

Sad it is, frustrating and scary.
