Descent into hell
Yeah, bitch, another civil war would be nice!
This post is from Blogs for Bush from today. It's credited to some wingnut named Mark Noonan and is titled, "Do the Democrats Want a Civil War?"
As our Sister Toldjah noted earlier, the "indictment" of Tom Delay is entirely bogus - from what I've read, Tom Delay didn't know about the perfectly legal transaction he is accused of conspiring to make. We have now left entirely the field of normal political conflict and entered a twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact and the only standard of conduct is "will it work?". [The Repugnican Party is not the party of correct punctuation.] This is not the actions of a political Party [nor is it the party of correct capitalization] engaged in seeking a majority - it is the action of a Party determined to destroy its opponents entirely and sieze [nope -- not the party of correct spelling, either] all power for itself...it is, in short, the stuff from which civil wars are made.
In a normal democratic society, the political parties argue it out, resort to the voters and abide by the results - in our very abnormal society, there is no argument. There is accusation and innuendo, and the count of the voters is considered null and void unless it comes to the "correct" conclusion as determined by one Party. The Democrats do not like Tom Delay - and that is natural and normal given that Delay is a senior leader of the other side, and a damned effective one at that. But this quest to destroy Delay goes beyond the pale - it is an outrage; a negation of all that America is about...a betrayal of American political institutions.
I really do urge our Democrats to step back from the edge - you are sitting in a lake of gasoline and you are playing with fire. We on our side will only put up with so much before we start to pay back with usury what we have received. If you can't defeat Tom Delay in the electoral field, then you will simply have to accept him as Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives - and you'd better start accepting political reality before things get really bad.
Where to start? This is wrong on so many levels and I have to get to bed eventually.
First of all, Tom DeLay was indicted. It was not an "indictment," but an indictment. Now, when I write "President" Bush, that's because the evil, fascist motherfucker never was elected in the first place; he is illegitimate. Thus, the quotation marks. But there is no reason to put quotation marks around the word "indictment." Whether Tricky Tom is guilty or not (he is), it's still a real indictment, not an imaginary one. He did not step down from his high position of political power because of a make-believe indictment.
At any rate, although I think he's guilty and should be traded for cigarettes in federal prison, DeLay's guilt or innocence ultimately will be determined by the criminal justice system -- not by us moonbloggers or wingbloggers. A jury will decide whether or not DeLay "didn't know about the perfectly legal transaction he is accused of conspiring to make." I suspect that DeLay is guilty of conspiracy, that he knew exactly what was going on: money laundering. However, I have no more definitive evidence of his guilt than the wingbloggers have of his innocence.
"A twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact"?
Let's see: Bush lost the 2000 presidential election by more than half a million popular votes but "won" the pivotal state of Florida -- of which his brother conveniently was governor, of which the Repugnican secretary of state, Katherine Harris, also sat on the state's committee to elect Bush (conveniently), and which the five U.S. Supreme Court justices who conveniently had been appointed by Repugnican presidents awarded to Bush. Bush "won" Florida by fewer than 550 votes. Again, Al Gore got more than 500,000 more popular votes than Bush did. The winner of the election was declared, by the Repugnican-controlled U.S. Supreme Court, to be the loser.
Just using the words "President Bush" (without quotation marks around "President") is presenting fantasy as fact. And if stealing a presidential election isn't grounds for a civil war, I don't know what the fuck is.
But more on that "twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact": Iraq never possessed weapons of mass destruction. Nor did Iraq have anyfuckingthing to do with 9/11. Having invaded and now occupying a Muslim nation that did absofuckinglutely nothing to us -- and didn't even have the capability to do anything to us -- and having slaughtered thousands of innocent Muslim civilians in the process is asserted by the Repugs to somehow help prevent future acts of terrorism. That's like saying that "pre-emptively" breaking into your neighbor's house and slaughtering his family is going to improve your relations with your neighbor.
"A twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact" -- that would be the down-the-rabbit-hole world of the Repugnicans.
"The only standard of conduct is 'will it work?'" Hmmm. Wasn't that the Bush Repugnicans' standard when they stole the 2000 election?: "Gee, can we get away with this?" When they discovered that they could steal the election by pitching the bigger fit, by throwing a temper tantrum, by screaming louder and longer than the Democrats did, they felt emboldened to start a war with Iraq based upon a pack of fucking lies so that Dick Cheney's Halliburton and other war-profiteering subsidiaries of BushCheneyCorp could profit obscenely from the blood of thousands of innocent Iraqis and from the blood of our soldiers (almost 2,000 of them so far).
"Will it work?" is the Repugnicans' fucking motto.
This wingblogger calls the Democratic Party "a Party determined to destroy its opponents entirely and sieze all power for itself..."
Um, in case you didn't notice, moron, the Repugnicans control all three fucking branches of government. As your own wingblog celebrates, the Repugs just got one of their henchmen to head the U.S. Supreme Court -- because rich, conservative, (presumably) straight, white "Christian" males are just so underfuckingrepresented in this country! Yet it's the Democratic Party that wants to destroy its opponents entirely and seize all power for itself?
"This quest to destroy Delay [wingdude, if you love him so fucking much, show him your love by fucking learning how to spell his name, mmmmmmmmK?] goes beyond the pale - it is an outrage; a negation of all that America is about...a betrayal of American political institutions."
Hmmm. I would assert that the quest to destroy Bill Clinton went beyond the pale, that it was an outrage, a negation of all that America is about -- a betrayal of American political institutions. I would assert that the theft of the 2000 presidential election went beyond the pale, that it was an outrage, a negation of all that America is about -- a betrayal of American political institutions. I would assert that taking our nation to war based upon lies went beyond the pale, that it was an outrage, a negation of -- well, you get the idea.
And the Repugs' attempt to politically kill Bill Clinton was just in the late 1990s, not even that long ago.
Wingdude: Is what happened in the 1990s ancient fucking history to you? Or do you lie by omission? When you rant about Democrats going after DeLay -- a vast left-wing conspiracy that has not been proved (DeLay's prosecutor, in fact, asserts that he has prosecuted four times as many Democrats as Republicans) -- do you not think of what the Repugnicans did to Bill Clinton? Or do you think of it but intentionally omit any mention of it?
Wingdude, in a wingnutshell, you slam the Democrats for exactly those things of which the Repugnicans are guilty. You're either a fucking liar or you're mentally ill, accusing those whom you hate of exactly the same traits and of the same crimes of your side, the wrong side. (Well, actually, you strike me as both a liar and a nutcase.)
"I really do urge our Democrats to step back from the edge."
First of all, the Repugs are more vulnerable right now than they've been in at least five years: Bush's approval ratings are lower than they've ever been since he stole the White House, and more than half of Americans say that invading Iraq in March 2003 was a big fucking mistake (go to pollingreport.com and take a look around at the several national polls taken by different polling organizations that all say the same thing -- that the Repugnicans are in deep, deep shit). House Majority Leader Tom "I Am Not a Crook" DeLay -- well, former House majority leader -- just got indicted (no quotation marks) and Senate Majority Leader Bill "Martha Stewart Is My Idol" Frist is next -- unless Bush puppeteer Karl Rove goes down before Frist does for having illegally revealed the identity of a CIA agent (whose job, by the way, was to help prevent us from being attacked with weapons of mass destruction -- no, Karl Rove is no traitor!).
Wingdude, it's the Repugs who are teetering on the edge. Shit, there's so much that I haven't even gone into, like the Hurricane Katrina fiasco, the Repugnicans' unpopular attempt to destroy Social Security, the record federal budget deficit (Gee Dubya beat the previous record, which had been set by his daddy), the sluggish economy (including the increase in poverty every year since Gee Dubya stole office [this from the U.S. Census Bureau, not from some other moonblogger]) -- I could go on and on. It's the Repugs who are teetering on the edge of a cliff, and I and millions of other real Americans intend to push the Repugs off of that cliff.
We "are sitting in a lake of gasoline and ... are playing with fire"?
Oo, sounds like a threat!
You know what? I called for a second Civil War before you did, bitch.
"We on our side will only put up with so much before we start to pay back with usury what we have received ... and you'd better start accepting political reality before things get really bad."
Funny! -- that's exactly how we blue-staters feel about you red-staters. Only we actually are in a position to tell you that you need to start accepting political reality, because it's your side that's crashing and burning right now, not ours. You motherfuckers have made sure that we have nothing to lose; it's you who have everything to lose, not us. We have nowhere to go but up, and you have nowhere to go but down.
And after five years of eating your bullshit, we're a helluva lot more pissed off than you are, so I say: Bring the civil war on, bitches! We'll kick your defective red-state asses -- again.
