The American Dream: Dead or Just a Nightmare?

Can you impeach a President and all of his awful cabinet for gross negligence causing an unspecified but largish number of deaths?

Will we ever forget the Apocalyptic scenes down South? I think maybe we have already, or most of us anyway...

Nobody could believe it was the "good old" U.S of A. The scene, the people, the garbage and refuse, the dead bodies, the tragedy of it all. The 'supposed' most powerful and wealthy country in the world lookin' like some poor Carribean country, ravaged by Nature and too poor to save its own citizens. But these were/are Americans! American citizens! The richest fucking nation on earth! Or at least it was.

Can't believe it's the US of A but at the same time...I can. Every 'People' policy that gets cut in favor of Big Business has real-life ramifications, a Human cost. Katrina proved that and nobody can EVER say different.

America doesn't pull an immediate about-face and there is much more coming down the pipelines, more human cost for poor legislation, bad decisions, GREEDHEADISM.

Is the American Dream dead, or just a nightmare?

"It will never be the same again." We all said that after 9-11, but the politicians just used the attack for its own purposes. This one is hard to spin, to twist. You can't "us versus them" a hurricane unless it's "us versus you",
and it's more obvious than it's ever been -at least in this particular incarnation of Capitalism run amok.

It is a government's job to protect its people. Disasters happen, all the time and all over the world. It is what happens after the disaster that defines what type of society, populace and country you have and will have. This is when you step up. You mobilize. And if you don't SOMEONE ELSE WILL!

How long has the American Dream been full of shit? It's over. America's poor except for the richest of the Rich, who get richer by cleaning up their own messes and charging their own masses. And the whole world knows it. Nature revealed the American cards, and all it's got is a lousy pair of threes. It changes everything. The red, white and blue pants are down and it's not a particularily impressive view.

Mean time, China softly chuckles to herself, has her 'Peaceful Rise,'using much the same Orwellian lingo as Dubya, or Chairman Mao, for that matter.

POINT IS: the response was a failure and cost much in human life. Dubya appointed a loser with no experience in disaster -or even terrorism- management. Bad decision. Then, when he finally got his ass down there and told Brownie -who we now know is looking like he's gonna end up being the big fall guy on all this- that he's "doin' a heckuva job!"

Worst President ever and probably the stupidest figure in history. GWB. The most dangerous of losers and the most hopeless of fuck-ups.

Incompetance. Or rather, criminal negligence in the maintenance of office. Impeach him AND ANYBODY NEAR HIM! If this particular round of pirates doesn't get roundly punished by the People, what message does that send to the next round? How much do you want to swallow, Citizens? Enough till you're the one choking?

This is untrue. I went to your blog. The first one I viewed the source for, it was your Publisher ID, not Blogger Party's. Perhaps you are checking incorrectly.

Like does Maverick want me to go to Hell or whoever, whatever this spamming thing is, or does he /she/it want bloggerparty to go to hell? What the hell's going on?

Sorry, I did not realize this was somebody else's blog. arvindkatoch1 is right, all the ads on this blog are Blogger Party's!

SenseChange, you need to put in your AdSense Publisher ID to get your ads showing up.

Interesting blog, though. ;)

Go to Canada, Liberal

If you have a problem with President Bush and this country, why don't you just leave? I'm sure that Canada will happy to have you. It's so funny how the liberals are always pissing and moaning about the President, but they couldn't get their cowardly candidate elected.

Not Right Vs Left

Yes, yes, liberal/republican partisan politicization...deal with what I'm saying, you shmuck! Would you say Dubya and his flunkies did a GREAT JOB in their handling of Katrina? Or did they fuck it up?

This ain't a political thing! People died, and if it doesn't get fixed, more people die. That's how it works! Keep waving that flag until its your own family that gets fucked over because inexperienced losers are in charge of the stuff that actually matters.

I still don't understand how

I still don't understand how you all can blame Bush for the hurricane? Oh wait, I forgot. Bush hates black people.

I can blame him for putting

I can blame him for putting a person who's only management experience was for an Arabian horse farm in charge of of the Nation's security. For starters.

I can blame him (and them) for not taking charge -like a president is supposed to- in a time of NATIONAL PERIL!

I can blame him for not recognizing that a bunch of organizations were disorganized and fucked up.

I can blame him for saying "doin' a heckuva Brownie," when Brownie was doing a shitty job.

Who do you blame for it taking so long for the people to get help, for the woeful disorganization etc...? I'm curious, Johnny, who? ANybody? Or are government organizations that you and I pay for out of our pockets with our tax dollars just supposed to be fucked up?

It was all over the news

It was all over the news that a hurricane was coming. If the idiots wanted to stay, it is their own fault. Sorry, no sympathy from me if you choose to stay in the path of a deadly storm. Don't come to me with your hand out because you made a stupid decision.

Just so I understand:

Just so I understand: Katrina victims are idiots and Dubya's a purty smart fella?

I hate Bush. He is a

I hate Bush. He is a self-centered jerk who has started a war to further his political agenda.

However, before telling people "if you hate America, just leave," consider the plausibility that a single person would have the financial, social or familial way to actually do that.

I would be glad to leave, you see, but I'm not employed, and don't have a degree yet. It's not that easy.

Fight For It

I don't think you leave if you think you're country is going to hell. I think you fight to make it right again.

As an educated, tax-paying

As an educated, tax-paying citizen, your opinions hold a lot of weight. I assume you've got a good view of things from the couch.

Hey Johnny

Care to explain yourself?

My comments were directed at

My comments were directed at the gentleman who said that he would leave but he is unemployed and he does not have a degree. I was simply pointing out that since he contributes so meaningfully to our country by being educated and paying taxes, he has every right to put down the president. I'm pretty sure that he votes in every election as well.

What the...?

But not directed to the dialogue on this particular blog. Do you even know where you are right now, Johnny?

Try to pay attention. There

Try to pay attention. There was a woman who said that she hated Bush. Can you read back far enough to see that comment? Good. My comments about being educated are related to that particular comment. Why is that so hard?

Poor confused Johnny

First you're saying it was a man and then a woman. And that response was about the economic difficulty of just picking up and running away from your country because its become overcome by fascists who easily manipulate religious zealots like you into things like war and governmental incompetance and the removal of the rights of the citizenry. Sit down before you hurt yourself.

The internet is the playground for the mentally unstable~

Being a fake gets you nowhere~ and my honest nature gets me in trouble sometimes. Anyone that knows me, knows that lying to me could possibly get you killed~ so to not practice what I preach would be the utmost hypocritical thing I could do, ya know?

No movie star quality here~ just........quality makeup. heh~

But, I'm gonna be up front with you about this too. I love working on cars, particularly my '68 mustang. I'll post about that soon enough~

I can't tell you how many chicks online turn out to be the man above you described, so the apprehension on whether I'm a male or not isn't a new concept for me. It's flattering in a round-about way~ I don't mind hangin' with the big boys. heh~

Kreskin?

How'd you know I was big? Heh heh...

hahaha~ AMAZING!

Because, online, ALL men are.......... big. Aren't THEY?

hahahahaha~ ya silly thing.

Ok, I gotta go shovel the foot of snow off the walk.

lol god~

Silly thing, that's me

Silly thing, that's me, sweet Southern Belle and I'll drink from your exquisite beauty when next I meet you in my dreams...

You charmer you~

And just so you know, nothing will tick me off worse than not being able to find the snow shovel, forcing me to use a stupid 6 inch wide gravel shovel...........do you know how hard that is with 12 inch high powdery snow drifts, topped off with semi-blustery wind chills of 234 below zero? Nevermind I'm barely half way done. I got fed up, came in, and I'm slamming an alcoholic beverage with chug-like rebellion. How lady-like is THAT? I may put another useless entry in my blog, who knows. I'll tell you in 5 more Bacardi Silvers.

And, this topic of yours has gone waaaaaaaaaaay off course, you 'big boy', you. lol

But I always take the blame

Entirely my fault, I always get distracted by hot movie star blondes who can WRITE! I'm getting a drink too, sugar-bumps!

Sugar bumps~

Never admit that you're guilty of anything~ even when you are. heh~

I don't blame it.

Worst ever

Is it worse than jailing people without cause under "federal mandate?"

Worse than shutting down any and all DC area newspapers who disagree with you?

Worse than using the US military to stop a protest?

He is a bad president, few would argue. However, before we go to the world is coming to an end card, let's remember that a lot of presidents have done a lot of bone headed things. We get pissed, 4 years later get someone else in and start it over. I don't necessarily disagree with your overall post, though I think you might go a little overboard on some of it, but the things I mentioned above were acts of LIncoln and Washington....im not saying GWB is either of those guys, but I am saying presidents do terrible things under duress.

I still love the US. It has flaws, but so does Canada, Mexico, England, and any other country I get told is "better." I still believe in the principles of the country and that when we don't like what is going on we luckily get a chance to change it.

Someone said leave then others went on about money or means to leave, etc. I say stay, go, complain, embrace, but you only get to complain if you are voting. So if you are, bless you and your little blog. If not, then remember that if you are not part of the solution...

Most Dangerous Idiot in History

Introducing the doctrine of preemptive strikes in the nuclear age makes George Dubya Bush the most dangerous idiot in history. Period. Any questions?
