George Gets A New Hat

The cover of Rolling Stone shows Bush in a dunce cap. Alternet.org has a string of postings responding to the "Bush is a Moron" piece they recently posted. My response: tell me something I don't know.

Yes, George W. Bush is a moron. Unfortunately, the group who trained and positioned him as president is comprised of very clever (albeit amoral) men who have propped him up and created a plausible deniability scenario aimed at fooling the American public into thinking Bush means well but just doesn't always understand the finer points.

In reality, he's been deliberately kept ignorant so his "honest" protestations of well-meaning actions that have somehow inadvertently resulted in horrific failures can be made palatable to religious right, who are so busy trying to be gracious that they have forgotten how to be conscious. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it is not statistically possible to fail 100% of the time, by accident.
This mess we're in now isn't due to Bush's moronic nature, it's the result of calculated decisions aimed at failing in ways that ultimately serve the neocons running the show. The more Iraq becomes a cesspool, the greater our need to employ the war profiteers in bed with Bush/Cheney, et al. The more we live in fear for our own safety, the less we will concern ourselves with the unconscionable acts our government supports in other countries.

Our government, largely due to complacency and failure to apply critical thinking skills on the part of the American people, is no longer taking care of us; they are simply using fear tactics to justify taking over the world--one step at a time. The only question now is what are we going to do about it?
