"Oderint dum metuant" - Let them hate, provided they fear. -- Motto of Emperor Tiberius
Yes, it's time for the fashion police, when hate is worn with pride and considered to be the smart, current, in-vogue style, as seen in the Bush GOP Party of No, nothing for no one (all negative) . . . this is more than just the use of freedom of speech, it's our members of Congress refusing to do their jobs for this country . . . refusing to do their jobs after being a part of the destruction by the criminal Bush regime . . . if they can't do their jobs, then make them accountable for the jobs they did during the last eight years.

Bush and His Minions Were Sharpshooting US Government Policies

BuzzFlash,
Ask any American with an ounce of common sense and they will tell you what torture is and always has been in our laws and in the American mind. Why do we not do this . . . because such vicious acts as torture, imprisonment without counsel, invasion/occupation of a country, are all acts of terrorism and aggression and they breed the kind of hate that takes generations to change. And, who always suffers from such hate, the innocent citizens of every country that's being terrorized as well as those who are doing the terrorizing due to orders they must follow, such as our citizens serving in the US military, who were sent to invade and occupy Iraq.

What We Americans See of the Bush GOP and Bagged Tea - Is What We Get

BuzzFlash,
I have to say to many fellow Americans, "I think I know how you must feel." I haven't been too proud of the Democratic Party in government during the Bush regime either, but at least we Democrats can talk about it without reprisals, investigations, and arrests. Not so during the Bush GOP regime.
Many of us Americans have to wonder where were these people (Fox News, Bush GOP tea baggers) when Bush decided to invade Iraq and use and abuse the precious lives of our military and of our National Guard by putting them in danger unnecessarily, because this nation was not attacked, and many Americans protested this amid testimonies by those who would know that Saddam had no WMD. Where were these people then? Plus, the fact, who do we think we are to invade and occupy other countries?
The Bush GOP's Latest Threat Aimed At Americans Is "Socialism"? No, Much Worse.

"Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
-- Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village, 1770
We Americans must know by now that the Republican Party today is not only a Party of few ideas, but also a Party of few words. Socialism, terrorism, voodoo economics, and tax cuts are a few words we hear over and over again in their limited political lingo. Tax cuts are a Republican's idea of a frugal government, frugal only for them. The only spending a Republican is against is spending money on the American people. What we should cut out of US government are the salaries, unlimited benefits, and perks for those who think they represent main street America, or want us to think that they do.
Why should we Americans expect multimillionaires to have any idea of what most Americans are facing today? They can't, and what's worse, many don't care. If they cared, we wouldn't be in this financial mess we find ourselves in today, and we wouldn't be owned by China. If we Americans thought their (GOP) idea for a budget was a big laugh, we should hold our sides in, whenever we hear the word "socialism," coming from any member of the Bush GOP.

BuzzFlash,
Don't misunderstand me, fellow Americans, I have always believed in a two-party system of checks and balances in government. Put the best minds together, BUT, that is not how US government has worked for over thirty years. It's been in print many times how Reagan was chosen by a small group in California, and, even though he has been treated like a hero, the downfall of US economics started then and continued when the Supreme Court broke the law and put their man, Bush, who was clearly incompetent and a loser, even at that time, into the White House. Bush number two and his followers ruled with a dictatorial system of government, until we Americans were no longer of any use to these people, and they sold us to China.
At a fish fry years ago, probably one of the most outspoken politicians running for a ticket said that he wanted to be in DC for the "connections." It's been the love of money, not brains, nor the love of country, that has been the ruling factor in US government for the last thirty years, and it would still be going on, except there's only so much pilfering any one group can do before the US hits bottom, and here we are today, on our knees, looking up at China, instead of digging down.
Take a look at a typical Blue Dog Democrat before they came out of the closet. Ralph Hall is a perfect example of a Blue Dog, and he is a cofounder. Representative Hall is also the oldest serving member of the House. He endorsed George Bush, and voted for three out of four articles of impeachment against President Clinton. Enough said?

BuzzFlash,
It's good to see Americans getting angry, and the word "bonuses" probably did it. When Americans get fed up and angry, then they start to look deeper into US government and want all of the covers thrown off, leaving US government bare to the bones. Naked and ugly.
It took a 100% of the Republican Party in Congress backing the Bush - Cheney - Rove administration, to complete the final unhealthy blow to this country, after the transfusions we received by many of those same Republicans pushing through Reaganomics. So, many of us Americans want to think that, after being part of the demise of US government, that those same members of the Bush GOP would rally around the Obama administration in trying to bring some sort of balance back into the US economy for the American people. After all, the US government "is" the people, right?
Bush GOP Political Birds of Prey and Their Pecking Order

BuzzFlash,
Eight years of debt, death, and destruction by the Bush GOP and this is how the Republican Party feels about solving the problems that were brought about by the Bush administration and their supporters, namely, themselves.
"So who are Republican leaders listening to?," the announcer asks before the 30-second ad cuts abruptly to footage of Limbaugh saying, "I want him [Obama] to fail."(snip) Limbaugh used his self-described "first national address," which ran more than hour longer than his allotted 20 minutes, to criticize President Barack Obama for inspiring fear in Americans in order to push a liberal agenda of "big government."
Of course, these last eight years are not the only years that the Bush led Republican Party has brought debt and military destruction and charged it all to the taxpayers of the US. It's been going on since Nixon. We Americans would like to think that they could take responsibility for their (cough) mistakes, and try to help out those who want to bring this country back into solvency. That's what most of the American people would think.

BuzzFlash,
In reference to The New York Post, Mark Karlin, you are too kind. As a young adult in Kansas, maybe I've told this story before, how my grandfather, as a young boy, would tell us about seeing those night riders all dressed in white, and they were scary to him. They evidently rode in from Missouri, because he lived close to the state lines. Before I ever saw the costumes those bigots wore back then, when I was in country school, the teacher would always threaten us students when acting out, with putting us in a corner wearing a "dunce" hat before the class. As I grew older and saw the costumes worn by single-minded simpletons, these racists, I laughed and laughed, because I thought, how appropriate that these people, who think they are so politically correct, not only hide behind white sheets, but also wear dunce hats. Their costume couldn't have been more perfect for who they were and what they represented. They did the American people a favor by separating themselves from the rest of us.

BATON ROUGE, La. – A handful of Republican governors are considering turning down some money from the federal stimulus package, a move opponents say puts conservative ideology ahead of the needs of constituents struggling with record foreclosures and soaring unemployment.Though none has outright rejected the money available for education, health care and infrastructure, the governors of Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina and Idaho have all questioned whether the $787 billion bill signed into law this week will even help the economy.
