Bush uses the SAME phrase Hitler
used in press conference
By Jackson Thoreau
WASHINGTON -- In only his 17th
press conference on Monday,
Bush appeared to admit that
not even the people around him
are very smart, while giving
another quip that didn't make
grammatical sense.
"I'm going to find somebody
who knows something about
intelligence," Bush said, "and
capable and honest and ready
to do the job."
On the budget, he said, "We
will submit a budget that fits
the times. It will provide
every tool and resource to the
military, will protect the
homeland, and meet other
priorities of the government."
"Protect the homeland" is the
SAME phrase that Hitler used
when he proposed the creation
of the Gestapo in Nazi
Germany. Hitler said, "An evil
exists that threatens every
man, woman and child of this
great nation. We must take
steps to ensure our domestic
security and protect our
homeland."
Much has been written
comparing Bush and Hitler so I
won't go into much detail on
that here. Just that I read
some interesting articles
lately on how Hitler was a
devout Christian who spoke
against gays and abortion and
used government funds on
so-called "faith-based
programs."
Add in the propaganda, the
stolen elections, the use of a
major tragedy for political
gain, the torture, the prison
camps in Guantanamo Bay where
people are held without being
charged or access to legal
reps, the invasion of another
country without good reason,
the unwillingness of so many
Americans to honestly assess
the Bush administration and
investigate facts, so many
Americans' willingness to
blindly go along with Bush, as
many Germans went along with
Hitler to the point of denying
there were death camps in
their neighborhoods, etc., and
a disturbing trend is on the
horizon.
I'm not saying Bush IS like
Hitler, just that we seem to
be sliding down that slope.
And this "protect the
homeland" language doesn't do
anything to dispel that
notion.
Also in the press conference,
Bush lied again when he said
he would "maintain strict
discipline in spending tax
dollars." Every budget HE has
submitted has been higher than
the last one. He cuts taxes
mostly for the wealthy,
increases spending mostly for
defense, contracts for his
fat-cat campaign contributors
and "intelligence," rolls up
huge deficits and calls that
"fiscal responsibility."
On Social Security, Bush said,
"The first step in this
process is for members of
Congress to realize we have a
problem."
More members of Congress do
need to realize we have a
problem, with a major one
being that the Republicans
control the White House,
Congress and Supreme Court.
The fact that Bush and other
Republicans will steal
people's Social Security funds
to give more campaign
contributors on Wall Street
more cash to gamble with, not
to mention billions in new
fees, is a HUGE problem.
Then, Bush issued this
stirring, Patrick Henry-like
defense of Rumsfeld, who even
many Republicans want out:
"He's doing a very fine
job....He's a caring fellow."
Caring towards whom -
multimillionaires? This
"caring" jerk cared so much
about the troops who died in
the stupid Iraqi war he pushed
for and did not supply enough
troops or equipment for that
he couldn't even take the time
to sign the letters sent to
family members telling them
their sons and daughters died.
Rumsfeld had a machine sign
his signature. But doesn't
Bush's defense of this "caring
fellow" make you feel better?
Finally, Bush passed the buck
on his failed nomination of
former New York City police
commissioner Bernard Kerik to
be the Homeland Security
secretary.
"In retrospect, he made the
right decision to pull his
name down," Bush said. "The
lessons learned is continue to
vet and ask questions."
Besides that last sentence
being ANOTHER grammatical
error - "lessons" is a plural
noun, thus it should be
"learned are" - the statement
was another case of Bush
trying to blame someone else
for his own failings. Oh yeah,
it was Kerik's fault that he
accepted the position with
more money and prestige that
Bush offered. It was Kerik's
fault that Bush & Co. did not
ask enough questions.
Bush and his people knew about
Kerik's illegal maid, mob
connections, adultery, etc.
They just hate getting caught.
And Bush is one who HATES
people to ask questions of him
- that's why he has so few
press conferences - so it was
another hypocritical,
self-serving statement.
Is it any wonder why Bush's
handlers HATE to see him give
a press conference? And people
are still getting on Chevy
Chase for calling this idiot a
"dumb f*ck?"
