Get Ready Boys and Girls, Here it Comes...

I apologize in advance for the length of this post. This has been festerin' for a while, so I figured I'd make the inaugural rant a long one.

So, I'm readin' the news today and discover that our Dear Leader aka The One aka The Messiah aka BO Boy (I prefer the last, therefore that is what I shall call him. Don't like it, too frigging bad.) has taken it upon himself to create a "terrorism interrogation unit" answerable only to the White House.

Now, if I remember right, those on the left spent the years since 9/11 (Remember that one.. that time those terrorists attacked us and killed nearly 3,000 Americans.. I know that you do, despite the best efforts of the left and our utterly ethical media) going completely bugshit every time the Bush administration attempted to keep an eye on terrorist activity. "He's taking too much power!" they hollered. "How DARE he spy on Americans! How DARE he interrogate terror suspects in such a mean, EVIL manner!"

While the Attorney General appointed by BO Boy busily lays plans to prosecute Bush era CIA operatives who, just for the record, managed to glean information which kept this frigging country safe since 9/11, BO Boy himself creates a unit all his own to "interrogate" suspected terrorists. Huh. How times have changed.

This is just another example of the left and its never-ending two-faced view of the world.

During the Bush years, there was NOTHING the president could do that was right. Despite the fact that there have been NO OTHER attacks on this country, Bush was seen as evil because he made it clear to his government that terrorism was to be stopped, no matter the cost. If it meant that people with ties to questionable organizations or individuals over seas would have their phones tapped, then that's what would have to happen.

The New York Times outted that program with no concern for how badly it would hamstring anti-terror efforts because, they claimed, no administration should have the right to spy on the American people. Never mind that the program was NOT spying on just anyone. It was spying on those who clearly had ties where they shouldn't.

Now, I don't agree with the former president on a variety of subjects. I think amnesty sucks. I think he left us wide open for the unfettered spending we're seeing by BO Boy and his Gang of merry idiots by allowing Congress to spend like crazy during his terms.

But on this subject, I believe President Bush did a great job. He kept this country safe. And he took the War on Terror (I know, I know ... this term isn't used any more. Terrorism is nothing more than "man caused disaster.") TO the terrorists and kept it from our shores. No president can ever claim to have done more for his people on that score.

All of his efforts, however, have gone for naught. Because BO Boy and the Gang have not only decided that to fight back is wrong, they're busily making it impossible for this country to be safe. In fact, the ONLY folks this administration seems comfortable targeting are those who don't agree with whatever half-assed policies they determine are necessary for the "public good."

For those of you who are graduates of public schools, here is a little lesson of history:

Despite Madam Blathermouth Pelosi's assertions that Americans who oppose BO Boy's health care reform are "Nazis," the only folks in this country acting in a Nazi-like manner are those on the left. Don't get what I'm saying? Let me explain. You see, Hitler did not look like a monster to the German people. He looked like a guy who wanted to "change" things. He wanted to bring "hope" to the German people. It just so happens that he used hatred of the Jews to give the people that "hope." While I realize this is a very, VERY Cliff Notes look at how Hitler came to power and millions of Jews and others who disagreed with him came to die, I feel it gives some insight into how this country, right now, is headed down the same very slippery, dangerous slope upon which the German people found themselves.

Despite the fact that many of the ideas put forth by Hitler and his guys were blatantly socialist in nature, Hitler used the country's fear of communism and the fact that there were attempts at revolution in Germany led by Jewish communists to convince the people that, among other things, Jews were the cause of the people's trouble. By demonizing the Jews, Hitler managed to find a scapegoat upon which to blame every thing that had gone wrong for Germany. Instead of bringing all sides to the table, Hitler, like the dictator he was, used his charisma and presence to rid the country of anyone who disagreed with him. Those who came to meetings where he was speaking were removed forcibly. Once he gained office no one was allowed to disagree with anything he proposed.

Sound familiar? Despite the fact that the left absolutely LOVES to draw parallels between Nazis and anyone who disagrees with them, especially those with conservative beliefs, the truth of the matter is, the Nazis had much more in common with the left of this nation and its "Democrat" party. That's why it's become wrong to disagree with BO Boy on ANYTHING unless you want to be declared "racist" among other nasty little labels the left likes to apply.

It's frightening, depressing and downright disturbing how far we've gone down the road to tyranny in just a short time.

Never did I believe I would see an American president act in the manner that BO Boy has in the few months he's been in office. I was shocked when the man used his office to attack an American citizen by name simply for disagreeing with him as BO Boy did Rush Limbaugh. But that shock was NOTHING compared to the absolute amazement I felt when I heard that this administration was asking American citizens to rat each other out for "fishy" opinions on health care reform. And then came the town halls wherein BO Boy and his Gang found that people didn't agree with their plans. Instead of listening, these people decided that those who were protesting their "change" were Nazis, astroturfers, racists with no brains. These couldn't be real Americans, the Gang said, because they were too well-dressed. They had to be angry because BO Boy was black. There was no WAY these people could be angry because the president and his Gang were shoving this legislation down their throats with nary a glance at what the actual legislation contained. Hell no. They're just idiots who don't know any better.

My, how a few months changes things. In January the American people had finally gotten a brain. They'd elected a black man to office. A smart, educated, well-spoken black man who was going to fix things in this fucked-up country. After eight years of hell under that dictator in training Bush, America was finally free!!!! Yippee!!!!

You're kiddin' me, right? Oh wait. The American people are only stupid and fucked in the head when they disagree with what the left and the media tell them is right.

Huh. Wait a minute. I call bullshit, boys and girls. To me, it looks like the only fucked up thing about America was its belief in a man with no experience in anything other than running for office. A man with little or no respect for the office to which he was elected. A man with very little class when it comes right down to it.

The man that got himself elected to the presidency looks to me like the man who may well be overseeing the most corrupt administration and Congress in U.S. history. A man who will stop at nothing to gain more and more power for himself. Too bad he's throwing the entire welfare of this country under the bus while he he does it.

Never before in this history of this country have more people had more on the line than we have now. We have our very freedom at stake. And this latest action by BO Boy and his Gang just goes to show how very dangerous things have become. You see, once Hitler gained control of every single aspect of the German government, no one was safe. And the German people LET him get that control.

Today, a sitting American president has created his own terrorist interrogation unit, answerable ONLY to the White House, in the guise of "protecting the people."

My question is: just what is this man's definition of a "terrorist." Because not too long ago, the Department of Homeland Security named anyone with a variety of conservative values to be possible terrorists right along with returning military and others.

Does this mean that anyone who disagrees with this president and his Gang could find themselves visiting with the officials from this new "unit?"

Wake up, America. Your president has just created his own gang of thugs answerable only to him. You think he won't use them? Just what do you think this man has called out the unions for? They sure as hell ain't filling up these town halls with thugs just to keep dialogue going!

You'd better stop this man before the people they haul in to "interrogate" turns out to be you.

P.S. I heard this quote during a television show today:

"Dictators always start out saying they're gonna help the little guy. It's the "Big Daddy." Here is this powerful person and he is committed to taking care of me. And these powerful men who represent oppression, dictatorship do have do have a charisma about them, the charisma of power about them. Saddam Hussein had terrific what the military calls "command presence." He walked tall, upright, tended to dominate any landscape he occupied. His message was: "Follow me and I'll take care of you. One can see the attraction. "

The man who said this was a dyed in the wool leftist. Though this comment was part of a show about the evil Empire in Star Wars, I think it applies to the BO Boy administration very VERY well. After all, wasn't he such a charismatic feller that everyone forgot to check the bullshit meter when he spoke? I'm sure he'd disagree with how I've used it, but I've gotta thank ol' Dan Rather for the quote. He hit the nail right on the frickin' head. Thanks, Mr. Rather, even though I'm sure you figured we'd all see President Bush in your words rather than your Dear Leader.
