Rant # One

I need to Rant, so here is Part One of I don't know how many. We are running out of time, funny things are happening to computers and sites these days. (right RP?) So, let's go.

George W. Boosh

I hate George W. Boosh. This likely comes as no surprise to regular readers of the Real Deal, but I don’t know that I have come right out and said it before. Now, I have. Hate is probably not a good thing to direct at another human being, but after much soul searching, I can come to no other feeling. I despise the man. I despise him from the bottom of my heart, and can feel no empathy for him whatsoever.

I have often compared Boosh to my former Death Row clients. I’ve tried to determine if he is any more stable than the majority of them, and I have concluded that, No, he is absolutely not. In fact, he has more anti-social personality traits than the vast majority of them. That is not a good thing for the leader of the free world. Understand, “anti-social” is the preferred buzz diagnosis of prosecutorial mental health experts. While a person may suffer from schizophrenia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or mental retardation, all of these can be mitigated by an “expert” who simply states that one is “anti-social.” You see, there is no cure for one who suffers from an anti-social personality disorder. They are simply bad people, with no fix in sight. They are also generally dangerous, and are incapable of feeling or showing remorse for any misdeeds that they may have committed. Unfortunately, and probably rightly so, it scares jurors to death. So, Death Rows all over the United States are filled with people who have rightly or wrongly been labeled “anti-social,” when another diagnosis may much more accurately portray their true condition. With the Booshman, anti-social fits him to a T.

Another thing about Boosh that I find problematic is that he is simply not very smart. Not very smart is much too kind. He is a dumbass. And actually, that is not problematic, more like pathetic and embarrassing. His little “cowboy shtick” is so tiresome that it would gag a maggot. That anyone, especially Americans, could fall for the BS that spews from this mans mouth, is simply mind boggling. Just yesterday, he received a letter from the leader of Iran. He was “briefed” on what the letter had to say. Briefed? How can you be briefed on a letter? How long does it take for Ahmadinejad to say “Up Yours, Mr. Boosh?" I know that Boosh does not like to read, except when planes are being flown into buildings and he has a 1st grade Primary Reader in his hand, but surely someone could translate it to English and he could read it himself. Well, on second thought, maybe not.

Iraq

During the State of the Union address, when Boosh uttered the now famous “sixteen words,” dramatically referring to “in the form of a mushroom cloud,” I nearly choked on my food. No one in their right mind could possibly believe that Saddam Hussein could have fired a “nucuulur weapon” weapon at the United States of America, nor loaned one to any terrorist organization to use. Absurd. Speaking of “nucuulur weapons,” how many years in the White House does it take before the President learns how to pronounce the word nuclear? It seems to me that before one accuses another of possessing something, he should at least know how to properly pronounce it. But hey, that’s just me. Maybe he’ll get it before the next “physical year” is up in September. I digress, and for that you have my deepest apologies. To this day, Boosh justifies the debacle in Iraq by stating that Hussein failed “over twenty times” to comply with UN Resolutions. Well, did he really? As I recall, the big resolution was an order to disarm. Since we have not found, nor will we find any weapons of mass destruction, be they chemical, biological or nuclear, one can logically assume that he did comply after all. Hmmm. What to say now? Well, Boosh is fond of saying that he invaded his neighbors a while back, and gassed his own people. The problem with using that line is that Daddy already had a war over those issues. So, how far back can we go and maintain any semblance of credibility? Not that far, I would say. Once someone has done something and we have a war over it, I think it’s a little late to use the same reasons as before to have another war. The only legitimate complaint that Booshco has about Hussein is that he fired at US Aircraft protecting the no fly zones. Not that any of their outdated weaponry got within a mile and a half of our planes, but hey, it’s something. I seem to recall that during the Clinton years this was a rather regular occurrence, and we didn’t blow Iraq to hell and back to deal with it. We simply used targeted air strikes and kept Saddam under reasonable control. And, we didn’t lose nearly 3,000 American kids in the process. But, maybe Clinton didn’t suffer from being an anti-social dumbass taking orders from God; orders to create a regime change and “win the hearts and minds” of people who don’t begin to understand our minds or our hearts. It is insanity, all of it.

The Economy

If I hear Boosh say one more time that Congress must make “his” tax cuts permanent I may throw something through my television set. He says he’s putting more money in the pockets of the American people. Well, he can keep the extra $5 per week that I receive from his tax cuts if he will make the top 1% of wage earners in America pay some taxes. Any taxes. What I receive from the Boosh tax cuts will barely fill my lawnmower with gasoline for a month. I think that is true for the majority of Americans. Meanwhile, his oil buddies are getting filthy rich and paying no taxes while becoming that way, along with most ALL other members of corporate America. He sells this package by saying that small business will be hurt by rolling back his tax cuts. This may be true, but what kinds of jobs are these people providing? I don’t know of any decent sized company that is not looking at relocating to someplace like, say, Mexico or China. The jobs being created by this administration are nearly all service jobs, and low paying ones at that. Health insurance is nearly extinct, along with the amazing disappearing act of pension plans. When the largest corporations in the country are reneging on pension plans, we are in serious trouble. And it is happening with the full backing of Boosh and the geniuses he has surrounded himself with. They all suffer from a bad case of tunnel vision, and that tunnel leads straight to WAR. We are building the society that I warned of many months ago, the great Industrial Military Complex. Let Hayden be confirmed as the Director of the CIA and we will have the military running every branch of government, thus bringing us one huge step closer to that prediction becoming a reality.

At the same time, our budget deficit is reaching such proportions that even the far right is having trouble sleeping at night. Don’t worry boys, take some Ambien, it will all be over soon. This economy is about to crash in a way that has never been seen before. Don’t believe it? Try selling a house about now, especially if you live near a coast. You can’t do it, and it is rapidly becoming the same all over America. The housing bubble has burst, yet we remain in denial. Why? Because the stock market says that all is well. In fact, it is nearing record highs. How can this be? Simply because it is being artificially propped up by the Fed and Wall Street, places where you could not possibly duplicate the numbers of buffoons involved if you recruited employees from the World Wrestling Federation. These people have bought the package, the total package, and are unknowingly taking Middle America with them. I say unknowingly because they refuse to face reality, the reality that the stars are perfectly aligned for a crash of monstrous proportions. Need a tip? Watch the price of gold. As the average American is sucked into the “rockin’ and rollin’ stock market,” watch what people with a clue are doing. They are bailing from the market faster than a sump pump in a flooded basement. The dollar is diving at a rate unseen since the Great Depression, and the Derivatives Market is at a place that has never been approached, teetering to the point of bringing the house down. And it will bring it down, sooner than anyone wants to believe. I have told you that we have reached the point of no return with our economy, and we have. You will not see this by watching daily trends, they mean nothing. Daily numbers are smoke and mirrors; (see the stock market numbers) the long term trends spell doom. All I can say is get ready, it will soon be over.

The End of Part 1

I see that this is getting long, and I have a lot more to talk about. I have no idea how many parts there will be to this Rant Series, but there could be many. I’m going to cover it all, at least while the “internets” still work. So, Fort Huachuca and usaaisc, hang in there, I’ll get to you eventually. Until then, I will leave today with a partial explanation, going back to where I started.

I hate George W. Boosh. I hate him because he is a simple minded moron who has advanced the failure of America by 25-50 years. He has done this by sheer ignorance, and unmitigated arrogance. What is soon to happen to America was inevitable; had to happen eventually, but not now. We could have played this game at least for the rest of my lifetime, maybe even my daughter’s lifetime. And, if we had somehow managed to get some competent people in power, some things could possibly have been done to change the course of the future. Unfortunately, it is now too late. The horse has left the barn, and it is not coming back.

In Rant # 2 I will address a couple of issues that should be the real reasons for the failure of America and perhaps the world, Global Warming and Peak Oil. Following that, Freedom of Speech, Education, Health Care, Religion, and many other topics need to be covered. But, for Part One, I will leave you with this.

Due to the actions of George W. Boosh, none of these other issues will likely come into play. It won’t stop me from talking about them, though. I’m certain that we will be history long before we run out of oil, drown in salt water, or, as a nation, die a self imposed death caused by ignorance.
