The den of thieves back East are looting the country and we are supposed to celebrate Thanksgiving? Troops home by Christmas would be something to celebrate; too bad that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mike Mullen says there are so many men and so much materiel in Iraq that a pullout would take years. And eviction of the Bush administration, so hoped for, is yet no cause to celebrate because Bush has planted stink bombs in every crevice of the crumbling bureaucracy of government.
Thanks to Bush climate change has passed the threshold of instability with as yet no corrective measures taken, even some measures taken to speed up change. Coal burning could stop today yet not prevent the abrupt culmination of positive feedback that will occur within ten years. Ask James Hanson. Thanks to Bush morbid programs like No Child Left Behind, the Patriot act and Homeland Security are in place with no uninstall software available. And those are merely the tip of the smelly iceberg. In fact, Bush has instituted so many morbid changes that the combined momentum toward a police state will roll over Obama like that Caterpillar bulldozer rolled over Rachel Corrie. In all, the holiday season is being ushered in by four unstoppable pressures:
War-sown instability in Asia.
Delayed action of 380 ppm
Worldwide bankruptcy
Bush foundation for police state
Instead of outrage in Congress we have the spectacle of a shining light like Sherrod Brown trying to prop up automakers. Why doesn’t he ask for money to switch to “green” products? We need more cars like we need constipation. Even so what is perhaps more painful to witness is the multitude of us giving thanks next Thursday
It’s high time for a general strike.
