I'm sick of it, Bush Bashing Options

[*kryogenix*]

I'm really getting tired of all this crap about George Bush. Lately, I've heard the word "evil" attributed to him rather than to Saddam, Bin Laden, Kim Il Jong, etc. He's been called a liar and a traitor by some dems, when they had no proof to back up their claims. I hate how people are saying that he's the reason why we're not so tight with the French anymore, when in fact, there's evidence to show that Saddam bribed the French with oil, meaning it was them who were the corrupt backstabbers. Why is this man hated so much when he's just trying to protect the United States of America?

something is wrong with the nazis.

Yes, I agree, but they have a point -- Bush is running a very corrupt administration. "No-bid" contracts effectively combine state and business -- creating corrupt fascism. I don't have a problem with private business -- but when a business uses its clout like Halliburton does to get no-bid contracts, subsidies, and special tax breaks (note that I support cutting business taxes FOR ALL BUSINESSES -- not just the ones with political power), it becomes PART OF THE GOVERNMENT, and is no longer a private business.

The Polisci terminology for this is State-Capitalism -- as practiced by Augusto Pinochet of Chile, Benito Mussolini of Italy, etc. State-Capitalism is just as bad as State-Socialism, and since we seem to have both in the United States, we can simply call it Statism -- a term we usually use to describe, say, Stalin or Saddam Hussein.

Bush has also hired 40,000 "Civilian Contractors" to go to Iraq and build weapons and aid US troops -- in the olden days, before we corrupted the English language, people like those were called "Mercenaries", and it was NOT considered a war crime to kill one -- after all, they are part of the occupying force, and in a state of martial law, crime does not exist.
