Republican Arrogance Will Destroy That Party
February 20, 2008
Those who called themselves "Conservatives" have gone beyond the line of moral turpitude. While they profess to be "righteous" God-fearing people, and the only ones who know how to govern, they continue to deny righteousness, and have gone so far as to hope that the people forget the "wickedness" and return them to power.
Consistently refusing to admit that the invasion of Iraq was based on a lie and for the interests of a few, Republicans have blocked every attempt to uncover the truth. Numerous investigations have been allowed to die, and every attempt to sully the name of God-fearing truth-loving Democrats have been used.
These conservative, compassionate, truth-loving moral Americans, hope that the American people forget about a number of issues, which call into question both the honesty and integrity of the leaders of the Republican Party:
(1) They hope that Americans will forget the scandal of Abramhoff and his Republican cronies.
(2) They hope that the people forget the promise of President Bush to send to jail whoever it was that "outed" Valerie Plame. This he didn't. In fact, the Republicans did just the opposite.
(3) They hope that the people would forget about the missing billions air-marked for the rebuilding of Iraq that just disappeared with no record or accounting. But these are moral people, the only ones in America who are honest and full of integrity.
(4) They hope that the American people will forget that Haliburton (whose headquarters have now been removed from the United States to somewhere near Bahrain) originally over-charged the public treasury by hundreds of millions, and in order to end the scandal they settled out of court and returned just over 1 million dollars in out-of-court settlement. But the truth is that if they were willing to settle at all proves that there was something wrong in the contract and use of public funds.
(5) They hope that a continuing war in Afghanistan will keep Americans so scared that they elect a war hero who is content to prosecute a war for a hundred years rather than work to bring about a "peace" which could last that long. But these are moral people, the only ones who knows what's best for America.
(6) These moral people, by their actions, continue to manipulate the economy and the stock market ( like JP Morgan did during the Great Depression) in order to keep hard-working Americans in "fear" of hunger and starvation. They do this in order to force the election of a President who is supposed to have "more experience" than anyone else. But these intelligent ones fail to recognize that no-one has any experience "as President" except one who has served a first term. Even a Vice-President may have some related experience, but he or she can never claim to have experience being President until s/he has spent at least one day in the office. Nevertheless, pundits will argue that this is only a technicality.
(7) The morality of the Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, is such that he deliberately distorts Senator Obama's words about bombing Pakistan in the hope that ignorant Americans will buy that rhetoric without examining the context of those words. But this is the High Road of integrity. This is the morality of these "Compassionate Conservatives" who are the only ones who knows how to "keep Americans safe, propserous, and proud." These are very good words, and if they are original with John McCain (you do the research and tell us what you find) then we are blessed to have such a man as our leader. But since the morality of the Republican Party leads them to insist that they are the only ones with impeccable morality, the question is: "Did John McCain plaigiarize Obama when he said in a very loud voice as he ended his stump speech: "I'm fired up and ready to go." Americans did not hear him cite that he was using the words of Barack Obama. So when he infers that Obama has a "confused" and base morality of "empty words," should he not be speaking about himself as well. But this is the morality of the Republican Party and its sycophants, this is the Party on the "High Road."
Perhaps, those who have Divine connections to the God, who created all men to be equal, should find out if God is behind the phenomenal rise of a reform movement led by Barak Obama. But in their arrogance, they could never imagine such a thing could be happening in America. They not only read the Scriptures, their halls are jammed to capacity with experienced politicians, experienced theologians, plus the blessings of the ruling family. In short, why shouldn't they be arrogant? Everyone knows that the Republicans will reduce spending. And everyone knows that they will not acknowledge that the financial condition of the country was due to the War in Iraq, the Haliburton dishonesty, and the waste of billions of tax-payer dollars. Besides, its the bumbling Democrats. We Republicans have been in total control of Congress for 6 years of the Clinton Administration plus 6 years of Bush 43, but its Democrats who did this in the 1 year they controlled the Senate by one vote plurality. Oh, one of those Democrats was really a Republican in disguise, and the Americans are no astute enough to count Joe Leiberman on the other side.
Republican arrogance is long and deep, and maybe God is tired of it all. Please God, rise up and lead a movement for us poor people, and please Sir, defend that side which is right.
