Experience or Empire ... Cleaning Up Our Act

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant [is] alone enough to upset Darwin." -- Henry Adams, Education, 1907

I think we could add a few more names to that quote and it would still ring true today. All of a sudden we keep hearing how people are concerned about how they want experience in the White House. What kind of experience? The kind that supported this illegal and criminal Bush GOP regime, without fail, for eight years? Bush, regardless of how much blood he has spilled or how much fraud he has allowed to go on, or the legislative war on the American people, was always supported by almost every Republican in Congress.

About Those Analgesic, News Numbing Affairs

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"Newspaper: A device for amusing one half of the world with the other half's troubles." -- Leonard Levinson.
 
No, not Edwards' affaire de coeur -- matter of the heart. We all know the cruelty and dishonor to this country that was done by the Bush GOP towards President Clinton, the stupidity of such was that the legislative branch of this country wanted to impeach him. That should have been proof to the American people, at the time, just how scant the intellectual gray matter that was involved in this happening, and was taking hold of our government. A giant clue of what was to come, the complete disappearance of gray matter within the Bush administration.

Fleecing the Flag

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through." -- Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745

When I saw the video of Bush playing with the small flag in his hand, my first thought was not of how he was desecrating the American flag as many were calling it, but wondering how many thousands of people did it take to put him in that crowd of people and make it look as if he was sitting there alone like any other person enjoying the surrounding events, and what is the bottom line that will be charged to US taxpayers.

Another picture came to mind. Does it occur to Bush that he is sitting in the country that bought all of the red ink that he and his criminal administration could supply? Has Bush or any of his minions given any thought as to what we could use for collateral, I wonder?

Sick, Sick, Sick Society ... Where's the Cure?

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

The cure can be found in a small cubicle called a cell.

"Public money is like holy water; everybody helps himself to it." -- Italian proverb.

... But as investigators began to unravel the incident, they say they found something far different: a massive scheme to defraud taxpayer-funded healthcare programs of millions of dollars by recruiting homeless patients for unnecessary medical services.

Hate Talk and Its Infectious Spittle ...The New Pandemic Pestilence?

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human." -- Aldous Huxley, The Olive Tree, 1937

How is hate talk different from brainwashing? According to Wikipedia, the CIA coined the word "brainwashing" in 1950, and it is the instilling of certain attitudes and beliefs into a person's mind that weren't originally there. Indirectly, the hate talk that comes out of the Bush Republican Party, if not stopped, will eventually not only play a part in the destruction of US democracy, but in the destruction of our planet as well.

Conservatism is usually thought of as a belief by those who want to cling to the past, to traditions. What is traditional about hate talk?

Bush and the GOP's Effect Has Become Their Cause

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"An effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so indefinitely." -- George Orwell, Why I Write

When we think about Bush's original invasion into Iraq supposedly to find Saddam's WMD and the effect it has had on Iraq and after five years of occupation, Orwell's words ring true today. The Bush GOP's cause and effect in Iraq has become their cause and has intensified through the years. Today, we keep hearing from Bush and his Republican supporters, such as McCain, Cheney, Rice, that we have to win in Iraq, as if we Americans are all fools enough not to understand that winning an invasion/occupation is impossible, and that this political GOP official-ese is merely to take the public's eyes and ears off of the many reasons for acts of treason.

Rove's Flying the Coop and On the Lam

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
BuzzFlash,
"Society prepares the crime; the criminal commits it."
-- The New Dictionary of Thoughts 1966
Why do most criminals think they are so much smarter than the law? For the Bush GOP, that hasn't been the case. US law has been trampled on, skirted, and flaunted for eight long years, and used harshly other times on American citizens. All the Bush GOP have to do to keep from 'facing the real music,' is to skip town, or, to mimic Bush, take [loud laughter] executive privilege. We Americans haven't had executives in this government for so long, we wouldn't recognize them even if they happened to show up with an oversized brass flag pin, a big wheel, and their briefcase in hand. (Not a joke.)

Independence Day ... What Does It Really Mean ... It's All In The Language

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigrees of nations." -- Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, September 18, 1773.

Gunning Down the US Constitution and Bill of Rights - Straight-Shooting Supremes

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

I guess the Supreme Court isn't interested in how many deaths we have every month around this gun totin' country. They get plenty of security, no doubt, as do the war mongers who travel with Bush. All any American has to do is just pick up any paper, on any day of the week, and somebody is getting shot, killed, DOA, and lately, three members last Sunday, in SF, were killed because of road rage by some gang member because they couldn't make a turn onto another street. Life has become to mean nothing in this country ... and that careless meaning for life, other than their own, has filtered down from the Bush Republican regime's violent policies and their legislative war on American citizens.

Bush and the GOP: McCain Is "Our Man In Arizona"

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

"We must build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just." -- John F. Kennedy, America Back on Track, Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

It's being said that Obama is ahead of McCain by 12 points. One has to wonder where. Where are those who want this country back as a democracy again. A great place to raise families again. Americans who would want the US to be respected as a country of leadership around the world again. Twelve points? Why is it not 88 points? Why does Bush still have 23% approval rate, unless it comes from those whose dollar signs kinda, sorta blind?
