Does Bush Deserve Us?

I'm so sick of being repulsed by President Bush. He has dragged us into the worst state of affairs this country has been in since the depression- and in many ways where we are today is much worse than those days- he has truly created a disaster out of a country that had just ended a decade of real progress when he took office- the deficits and Iraq and human rights and civil liberties and his pathetic bible based science- the list of problems he has created or exacerbated is so painfully long- it seems everything he touches is ruined. And there he was cheerleading- urging us to fight on and to remember our courage- the one thing he has not ruined in this country- hope and courage- calling on us to put our strength behind him. He doesn't deserve our strength and courage. The courage we need is in somehow girding ourselves for the rest of his term. We are all the King's Horses and all the King's Men who have to put our country together again. We have to re-build everything and he wants us to get behind him as he tears everything apart. He wants us to join him in creating the mess we have to clean up when he leaves office and goes back to Crawford to fall off his bike.

The worst moment for me, out of all the filth he conjured up for our listening pleasure during his State of the Union address, was when he honored our troops. I hate it when he honors our troops. He doesn't deserve to honor our troops. He calls to our attention to the disfigured men and women who have suffered as a result of his incompetence, blithe savagery and arrogant, misguided nation building. He never once says you suffer because of my incompetence as a political visionary and a commander in chief. He needs to apologize to our troops. He needs to get on his knees and beg their forgiveness. He needs to say he misused our armed forces and misled them and has thrown them to the dogs.

America's troops deserve more than a useless, hopeless suicide mission. How can any member of the Armed Forces respect this man after what he has done in Iraq? How can any soldier fight for him? What could be more depressing for a soldier who signed up to serve this country than to fight for the plans of George W. Bush which have done so much disservice to this country and the world? I always thought soldiers were courageous, but now I am awed by anyone who can submit themselves to the will of a commander in chief they know is worthless and put their life on the line so George W. Bush- the most incompetent President in our history and one of the world's all time worst geo-political strategists can have another chance to save us from the disaster he has created. He doesn't deserve another chance. He doesn't deserve another noble American life. He doesn't deserve our courage. He doesn't deserve what we can give. Our courage and hope and strength are too precious to give to this dangerous President. Our lives are too precious to trust to his warped naiveté. Our future is too important to give to his retarded vision. He deserves a quick exit out of Washington into the ash heap of history.

It is terribly sad to me that we have to give our best to this man. Unless we impeach him for the many wrongs, big and small, he has heaped on us, we devalue and dishonor ourselves. If we let him off then we deserve a President like George W. Bush and we will get more like him.
