Damn Liberals Cost Us The War!
---

"...the utter lack of smile or nod, the narrow eyes looking at me like I was from some planet where pagan pervert yoga teachers grow Toyota Priuses on the backs of organic chickens."

~snip~

"Perhaps, I think to myself, he did not understand the humor? The rich and sickening irony? I decide to reiterate: Isn't that hilarious? Isn't it amazing how, despite nearly six full years of unchecked Republican power, despite a brutal and scandal-ridden rule over both houses of Congress, despite a stunning gutting of the treasury and a war that is costing us $100,000 per second, despite a lapdog media that was terrified as a Chihuahua in a hurricane of Karl Rove's appalling disinformation machine -- a supposedly liberal media that, for more than five years, didn't dare question anything about Dubya's rush to war for fear of upsetting the wailing evangelical neocon "majority" that ruled the schoolyard with a bloody iron Bible, is it not amazing that the GOP's historic national disgrace is, of course, all the liberal's fault?"

This Morford article is a real hoot.
The above passages were 2 of my favorites.

Here is the article:

Damn Liberals Cost Us The War
At the dinner table in a very red state, little room for obvious truths. But can you try

1. I love this paragraph...
I smiled, I sighed, the nubile S.F. bubble present over my head like a hum of cosmic lubricant as I mentioned the general feeling of a wary sense of renewed hope, a feeling among the attuned and the informed that maybe there can now be a slight return to balanced humanitarian progress in the nation, alongside a blessed reduction in all sorts of brutal, dehumanizing, embarrassing scandals and BushCo atrocities and environmental devastations, et cetera and so on and pass the wine.


the boy can write! :)

3. Bush had plenty of time and the will of the American people
If he didn't "win" it is no one's fault but his own.

4. everyone has lost this war
for even those who acquired thier riches and power, will soon be left on thier deathbed's with no spiritual knowledge, no true connections of compassion to this world or beings in it, and so they shall die alone like the last match in the deep of night.

And despite all our sorrows.. in the face of opression, adversity and downright conspiracy and lies, it is us who will be left this earth.. The people. Nothing is permanent, but so long as there are people to live on this earth, so shall they inherit it.

the real problem, is what kind of earth is beng handed down to our children? one full of blood, and money, hate and confusion. something must be done
