I hate Bush
Thursday, September 02, 2004
So I watched a little bit of GW's speech tonight, just to see if he was going to say anything that I thought would actually hurt Kerry's campaign. My answer is affirmatively to the negative-o. Seriously, why would anyone re-elect a President that is promising to fix things that weren't problems when he took office? Oh, and just so you know, Bush is committed to "opening the frontier of freedom." So anyone who has been severely trodden upon in the last 4 years: GLBT, Latinos/as, African Americans, Women, The middle class, The people of any number of countries now less safe, this man should be trusted because we know what he will do. We should trust him to go back on this promise, and take away all of our freedoms. We can trust him to turn his back on us once again, and make our enemies stronger. We can trust him to turn us out into the cold to starve. We can trust that he will take away our freedom to choose. We can trust, because we know the track record, that G.W. Bush will continue to take away our freedoms in freedom's name. The frontier he spoke of in his speech is in part a legal one. How far can he go in taking away the just rights of others? The frontier is a a societal one. How far will the American people let him go before someone cries foul loud enough to be heard. The frontier is a moral one. How long will we, as a society, tell us what to believe before we realize that because we have stood for so little we have fallen for EVERYTHING.
I am now sitting in a room ajoining the living room and can still hear the T.V. only ever so slightly. The thing I pick up on is the crowd chanting "4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years." Do we really have to ask ourselves what 4 more years would mean? We know what the last four have stood for, and everyone I know (even the staunchest Republican) is more miserable than they ever were in the previous 8. Some call this coincidence, I call it fate. Our fate, if we set back and let it happen again.
If anyone has any other reason why GW Bush should not be re-elected let me give you but my last reason. This man came on TV and chopped the end off of Will and Grace. You may be able to forgive him for the economic shortfalls, for the war in Iraq, for the marriage amendment, for his institutionalization of his extremist faith, and for his threat to a woman's right to choose, but how, I ask you, can you forgive him for cutting off the end of Will and Grace?
