"Bush To Grads: Be Responsible".
Is that George ''the CIA''s bad intelligence made me do it!'' Bush?

Nevertheless, I think people should pay respects, if not to the man, than to the office. I say this, of course, knowing that Bush is gonna be HISTORY in a few short months (Please god make it pass quickly!). Time for the nation to heal.

What a sad joke that they let this lying war criminal give any advice to the young people. I thought that college was supposed to make people smart so they could judge for themselves when there is a traitor in their midst. Maybe they didn''t study history or political science.

An ironic message of responsibilty from a man who blames everyone but himself for his utter incompetence, idiocy, hyprocisy and criminal malfeasance. Yeah, he''s truly (not) got the right to lecture other people or countries on their lack of democracy when he has done everything he can to destroy democracy in this country including: (1) choosing the most partisan, vindictive and/or incompetent persons for powerful positions -- e.g. Libby, Gonzalez, Rove, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld; (2) wiretapping without warrant or probable cause (3) advocating and practicing torture and kidnapping, illegal, indefinite detentions without probable cause and rejecting their rights to legal counsel and hearings; (d) packing the Supreme Court with neocons extremists who agree with these practices; (e) destroying the Justice Department and the rest of our government with the appointment of partisan hacks; (g) stealing elections repeatedly; (h) attempting to legislate neocon nut policies in contradiction to Congress'' legislation with signing statements and so, so much more. Germany had its Nazi Party and fortunately survived. Hopefully we can survive GW''s Republican Party.

"Bush To Grads: Be Responsible". Perhaps the message should have been the other way around: "Grads to Bush: Be Responsible". The world might be a better place if the moron-in-chief were to follow his own (pat) advice.

Quite, if you accept the deception of the Bush administration and the Republican party deserves the same degree of interest as your laundry.

You want proof that there really isn''t a god? If there WAS a god, he would have hit Bush with lightening when he said this:

"That who you are is more important than what you have. And that you have responsibilities to your fellow citizens, your country, your family, and yourself."

Coming from the ******-In-Chief, I''m sure that means a lot to these young people. Now, go out, get stumble-bum drunk and do some blow, like George the Dodger used to do.

BushCo: An Umpteenth Evaluation


Posted April 9, 2008 | 09:53 PM (EST)


If one were to evaluate -- for the umpteenth time -- George Bush''s presidency over the last eight years, it would most likely be graded with a colossal, red, angrily scrawled F, the presidency along with an overarching American policy having been remade in Bush''s own fatally imperfect, inconceivably incurious and maddeningly mediocre image.

And -- for the umpteenth time -- any critique of Bush and his illegitimate legacy is not necessarily an attack on Republicans or conservatism or rampant, unchecked capitalism. However, due to their complicity in his ruinous and divisive two terms it comes *** close.

In fact, any and all appraisals that conclude with BushCo having critically devalued America and all it ever stood for are in actuality well-documented and fact-based assessments. They recount the tale of a country which allowed its essential morality to be wrested away by a series of vainglorious, smooth-talking hucksters, its national identity enslaved and ignominiously pimped out. With billions of dollars made, millions of people shackled to erosive economic policies and thousands of innocents crippled or killed in an illegal war, it could probably be viewed as the largest and, given that prosecution of those involved is improbable, most successful criminal operation in history, and not merely a series of tendentious rants spewed from liberal pantywaists.

Of the situation in Iraq alone, throwing up a smokescreen comprised of young, principled conscripts engaged to fight an enemy forged as if out of a child''s night terrors, all to conceal his tumescent, neocon machinations, qualifies him for a life sentence of clearing brush on the grounds of a federal penitentiary.

Of its all-consuming "war" on terrorism, BushCo huffs out its chest and flourishes the flag, bamboozling the sentimental suckers with Three Trillion Card Monte, scrambling their senses and blunting their intuition, forcing them to behave in such a way that proves once and for all that reckless patriotism is nothing if not Pavlovian.

Of its overtly oligarchic economic policies, BushCo has thrown prudence, balance and caution to the winds and left the remaining non-millionaires in the United States to forage among the outsourced and underfunded scraps for fiscal stability.

Of its brazen disregard for science and reason, BushCo stalled for as long as it could to acknowledge what anyone possessed of sense already knows: human beings, beguiled by seemingly unlimited wealth, with all their greed and lack of both foresight and care, are crapping up the planet. And that the Earth is not the one that will suffer, it is her inhabitants.

Of its universal arrogance and disrespect not only for the Constitution, for our natural resources, for patience, for wisdom, for liberty, for its clear disdain for citizens everywhere and its use of them as fodder for their profiteering, no penalty would be too severe.
Of its highjacking of the Republican party and conservative philosophy thereby rendering any future champion falling under those respective banners suspect, the memberships of those institutions should appoint ombudsmen faithful to the foundation of a free, democratic society to help ensure that BushCo and its ilk will never find purchase among them again.
And lastly, of its smearing of the American legacy as a bulwark of liberty, a country that is not merely a symbol or an idea but a living, breathing example of the highest in human endeavors, of this is BushCo most egregiously offensive. Its unchecked power has been an affront to every one of the original founders who lent their signatures to the document declaring independence from a tyrannical monarchy and as such should be labeled as the greatest act of treason in America''s history.
It''s almost time for the final evaluation. BushCo has failed. Will we?

News you have to go to blogs to find out:

SYDNEY, Australia %u2014 Australia, a staunch U.S. ally and one of the first countries to commit troops to the Iraq war five years ago, ended combat operations there Sunday, a Defense Department official said.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was swept into office in November largely on the promise that he would bring home the country''s 550 combat troops by the middle of 2008.

Rudd has said the Iraq deployment has made Australia more of a target for terrorism.

The combat troops are expected to return home over the next few weeks. Local media reports said the first of the soldiers had already landed in Australia on Sunday afternoon.

"Our soldiers have worked tirelessly to ensure that local people in southern Iraq have the best possible chance to move on from their suffering under Saddam''s regime and, as a government we are extremely proud of their service," Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said.

Several hundred other troops will remain in Iraq to act as security and headquarters liaisons and to guard diplomats. Australia will also leave behind two maritime surveillance aircraft and a warship to help patrol oil platforms in the Gulf.

Bush To Grads: Be Responsible

Don''t try the Below unless you have a Republican President who is a constant LIAR!

WOW - Then make Kangaroo Courts to bring yourselves closer to Stalin then any other United States President in 230+ years!



The Defense Department was mum Friday on the reasons for the abrupt removal of a Guantanamo war court judge who had threatened to suspend the trial of Canadian captive Omar Khadr in a showdown with the controversial prison camp.

%u2014

Military prosecutors had been pressing Brownback to set a trial date, but he has repeatedly directed them first to satisfy defense requests for access to potential evidence. At a hearing earlier this month, he threatened to suspend the proceedings altogether unless the detention center provided records of Khadr%u2019s confinement%u2026
