This President is acting more and more like a dictator, and we should be very, very concerned about it. He is like a head of household who talks about doing things in the best interest of those he is supposed to take care of and constantly screws them to his own benefit.
August 6, 2001 he gets a presidential daily briefing titled Osama bin Laden intent on attacking within the U.S. Prior to that we now know that at a G-8 meeting there was a threat of planes flying into buildings prompting the meeting to be relocated.
9/11/2001 the World Trade Centers are attacked and he sits like a dear in the headlights in an elementary school classroom. At this point he's screwed up way more than we realize. After the attacks we are embraced by the world.
We then found out that it was Osama responsible for the attacks, He makes the right move and goes after him in Afghanistan. As he is about to catch him at Tora Bora. He decides to take our troops and attack Iraq. This administration stated that they needed another 'Pearl Harbor' to carry out their agenda and they got it. The 'Downing Street Memos' were thesmoking gun that showed they were intent on attacking Iraq long before 9/11.
In their new world order our kids die for their blunders not their's. We lose good paying jobs and get Walmart jobs in their place. Economy looks good because the stock market is up and corporate profits are up as well. But the wage of the middle class keeps going down. When unemplayment statistic are given they are so misleading. Example -- you work for a manufacturing company making a reasonably good wage with benefits. The company cuts back and you lose your job. You go on unemployment and look for another job with similar benefits. You can't find one. You're unemployment benefits run out and you are no longer included as the unemployed. With no other option you take that Walmart job with low pay and no benefits. That counts as a job creation. Hence unemployment goes down and corporate profits go up giving the appearance of a growing economy.
Now they spy on us, take away our civil liberties all in the name of protecting us. Yet Katrina was a disaster, the Dubai Ports deal backfired, tax cuts in the time of war go to the wealthy with no trickle down effect. Bush says that if he breaks the law, because he's the President it is not breaking the law. This is the way countries slowly fall into a dictatorship.
Ben Franklin said something to the affect -- anyone who is willing to give up any amount of freedom for safety doesn't deserve either freedom or safety. We are only getting a thin illusion of safety and are expected to give up our freedoms for it.
When is it going to be time to hit the streets and fight to get our freedoms back and stop these guys from taking any more. We are heading down a bad road and we better get off of it before we reach the quicksand!!!
