The Deception of a Nation

During the Bush Era we have had our fill of misguiding and misrepresentations with WMD’s, Al Qaeda’s existence in Iraq prior to our invasion there of, Halliburton’s ability to fulfill our requirements for services in Iraq, “Good Job Brownie’s” ability to coordinate American services in the wake of Katrina, Rummy Dummy’s ability to manage our armed forces in Iraq, Gonzales’s ability to lead our Judiciary system, and Dick Cheney’s ability to aim a gun. All of this and still we haven’t gotten our fill of being misguided, Lied to, and abused by those we have put in power. If you think the above aren’t all that bad, I don’t know what it takes to piss you off but let’s discuss the latest and see if it moves you a little?

Our great decider, you know the one, has decided that we would have a “Surge” in Iraq to stop the violence. He has sentenced our young people to 15 months of duty now instead of the previous 12 and all of this is alleged to stop the Violence in Iraq.

Here’s the kicker….. Get ready, it’s a douse!!!!!! …..

In order that his “surge” will prove to be beneficial to the people of Iraq, and can be used to create an illusion to the Americans paying for it, the deaths that are caused by IUD’s and Car bombs will no longer be included in the death toll statistics given to the public!

Wow, what a brilliant Idea!!!!! How utterly fabulous!!!! I’ll bet he didn’t sleep for a week to come up with that brain FART! Oh come on, you don’t think he came up with that all by himself do you? Well I don’t…. I would guess it’s some more of his appointments, which ultimately become our disappointments, that assisted with that little ‘lead the American people around like lemmings’ because ‘they are so stupid they won’t know what hit them’ revelation.

I got one more that I will forewarn you about…. And you can mark my words; our economic indicators are being played with in the same way. Those unemployment numbers we keep hearing touted about are bogus!!!! BOGUS!!!!! As the working class has been laid off and collected unemployment they have depleted that benefit and then started taking money out of the values of their real estate to live on. Now they still have no job but they are out of equity or their equity lines of credit that have become so expensive they can’t pay the mortgage. Forecloses are at an all time high currently 2.28 million homes, 22% rise of people over age 55 are filing bankruptcy. Yet, because these people have fallen off the unemployment roles our unemployment indicators are a bright spot in this economy…. Take that a step farther and you will see that the spending levels in the USA have stared to slow. Is it any wonder….. Americans are taped out! But by damn Bush has this fabulous economy!!!! Aren’t you just a little pissed of yet?????
