BUsh AgAIN!!

So let's tally it up:
He's admitted to spying on us all and isn't the least bit ashamed or concerned by it.
Countless American & Iraqi lives have been sacrificed to this pointless war, with no end in sight, to say nothing of the financial cost: Bush has just asked for more billions to fund it.
His lieutenant, Dick Cheney, just demonstrated that he is the ultimate redneck, shooting a friend in the course of a bloodthirsty hunt for poor defenseless wild animals:- surely a metaphor for the goals of this misguided administration.
Bin Laden, the head "evildoer", has managed to successfully evade one of the largest and deadliest arsenals of men and machines ever launched.
Acknowledged, longstanding civil liberties (abortion, birth control) are being eroded, while fundamentalist Christian ideology spreads like a wave across the land.
I wonder how long red-state America is going to keep making excuses for this man? I feel the times have taken on a Brigadoon-like cast: the arms of the country, buffeted by the fresk salt air, are alert and alive, the inner core lulled to inertia.I refuse to believe that people can be that herd-like... or perhaps the evil Karl Rove has really hit upon what men of power have searched for for centuries: the ability to truly control minds.
I have to say it: you must realize, redstaters, that criticizing America doesn't make her weak or you disloyal. It's our freedon to question without fear that makes this country wonderful, that forces the type of change that will make for an even better America.

That's certainly the America I came here for, and a vision I will fight to keep.
