"We've got a war that we're fighting against extremists, radicals who would do us harm. We're in a major battle in that war in Iraq. And it's -- it's unsettling times when you're at war. War's -- war's hard. War's difficult. It's negative."
If you didn't watch Bush on Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto yesterday, it might not have occurred to you that war was "negative" or "unsettling." At least someone like George thinks so and he thinks that you've forgotten that the tens of thousands of lives ruined or lost were supposed to be all about Freedom and that the "radicals" against whom we launched a thousand sorties posed no danger to us at all.
It's unsettling times when you have an executive who awards himself ever more dictatorial powers and more so when the explanations and justifications and rationalizations are twisted in terms of cause and effect and facts shift their shapes like a werewolf under the full moon. It's negative.
So when George of the borrowed trillions calls Democrats big spenders, when he insists that raising Cheney's tax bracket would hurt small business owners, I get unsettling and negative feelings. It's negative to think the man who still sends people to drive through minefields in unarmored vehicles in this fourth year of his war would accuse war critics of not allowing enough funding to do "what it takes to do the jobs that we've -- that I've asked them to do."
And yes, one really could call it unsettling when Bush sneeringly opines that "I don't think the government should be deciding salaries of CEOs or anybody else that works for corporate America" unless of course it's to keep the minimum wage for those who work for corporate America as low as possible.
But yes, it's hard. It's hard living under the expanding dictatorial power of a delusional dimwit and crony of pirates . It's hard not to worry that his "sprint to the finish" won't finish off what used to be a great nation and it's hard not to wish that the parents of this misbegotten miscreant had used the birth control they oppose or the abstinence they advocate for others.

Man, I wish I could get a handle on GWB, but I can't. Of all the people I've known in my life, I can't think of anyone more clueless. Seriously. And the notion that this person could become President of the U.S., in our time, is something I don't think I'll ever be able to intellectually sort out in my remaining living years on this planet. How could that happen, here? It doesn't fit within the constricts or limits of my reasoning.
What it says about America to have him as president - and a revered president to many millions of people is the most nauseating part. To me it proves that we are simply irrational apes who use our unique talents as a platform for our ape instincts and our ape passions.
Democracy depends on things that these ape-men reject and suppress and that's why we're losing it.
