The Emperor Bush

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-Joseph Goebbels-


President by the Grace of God Bush told us today that "We’re at war, and we must protect America’s secrets, and I presume the Justice Department will proceed forward with an investigation," thus lamely attempting to counter the investigation of illegal leaks that had no other purpose but to punish the tellers of truth.

"It is a shameful act," said the Tyrant Bush, whose many shameful secrets are his own and not the country’s.

Of the grossly unconstitutional spying which exceeds the authority of any President, he could only say: "The fact that we're discussing this program is helping the enemy." The fact that he authorizes unconstitutional acts which harm the foundations of liberty was not mentioned – at least by Bush.

Thus the Nixonian blackmail routine returns along with the imperial ambitions of a would-be king and tyrant.
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders . . . All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism."
-Herrman Goering-

Appropriate quotes.

Our current leadership knows about as much about democracy as those two practiced: nil.

How otherwise patriotic Americans can buy into this crap is beyond me... Have people gotten that intellectually lazy that all they can see is their own self-interest? What about the principles we're supposed to stand for?

Lazy, stupid, bigoted, ignorant - all those things that predispose people to like Bush.

Actually there are many quotes by top Nazis that make my skin crawl when compared to the statements and actions of this government.
