George W. Bush

The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to clean up the country and get it back on course again. I will start this discussion by arguing that it would be grossly premature for Pres. George W. Bush to claim final victory. Then, I will present evidence that Pres. Bush pompously claims that society is supposed to be lenient towards churlish ex-cons. That sort of nonsense impresses many people, unfortunately. Granted, he treats people as objects. But his criticisms of my letters have never successfully disproved a single fact I ever presented. Instead, Pres. Bush's criticisms are based solely on his emotions and gut reactions. Well, I refuse to get caught up in his "I think … I believe … I feel" game. Pres. Bush says that he is beyond reproach. This is noxious falsehood. The truth is that no one has a higher opinion of him than I, and I think he's an unscrupulous hacker.

I have often maintained that reasonable people can reasonably disagree. Unfortunately, when dealing with Pres. Bush and his deputies, that claim assumes facts not in evidence. So let me claim instead that Pres. Bush truly believes that going through the motions of working is the same as working. It is just such lousy megalomania, venal egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs Pres. Bush to perpetuate the nonsense known technically as the analytic/synthetic dichotomy. Maybe he just can't handle harsh reality. I could be wrong about any or all of this, but at the moment, the above fits what I know of history, people, and current conditions. If anyone sees anything wrong or has some new facts or theories on this, I'd love to hear about them.

        Why don't you say something that somebody cares about.  Nobody here ever said that all politicians aren't assholes(although I tend to believe many low-level local politicans have the best of intentions before they get higher in offices).  This argument is what all political arguments are about:  "Your politican is more of an asshole than mine is".  Your position is obvious because the only two politicans you decided to specifically curse were Bush and Shwarzenegger, so argue that position.  Bush was simply the best person who's application appeared at the poll when I went, If I had to name the person in the country I thought would do the best it wouldn't be him, but I voted on his application over the other ones handed to me.  Schwarzenegger never should have been elected, he ran on bullshit holywood credit and had no qualifications to be a politician.  However in many(not all) cases he did a respectable job on important decisions(unlike the gay marriage thing where he just hid under his desk).  If you don't like him vote for someone else next year and be glad that he can't become president.
