THE RYCHUS REICH
| Certainly everyone
knows by now one thing that makes the Bushites catatonic is to compare
their regime to a former dictatorship. It sort of started with their assault
on the Constitution and
exploded from there. Well, tough! Having heard their pissing and moaning
all this week, we just flat out don't care. (The German word "Reich"
means "empire.")
Look at what's been happening in America. Note the similarities? You all know how it goes. If you are against the war then you are accused of hating the women and men in the military and loving Saddam. If you vote against Bush's tax plan then you are accused of helping terrorists or being one yourself. Any expression or opinion, contrary to the BushReich, from candidates or voters are fiercely attacked with help from right wing braying-asses like Limbaugh who makes it up as he goes along. These are the enforcers, the SS of the Bushreich. Penalties may be severe. They range from threats of assaults on one's livelihood to harassment such as being placed on the BushReich's "no-fly list." One's family and career may be threatened. Often, the BushReich media reminds of us the evil of free thought and free speech. Constantly, it tells us we have free speech but we must take the consequences for using it. Joseph Perkins, a devoted BushReich SS, demands, "Anti-war activists should just shut up." He writes in his column for The San Diego Union-Tribune, that the Dixie Chicks are crying that Bush supporters are being really, really mean to them and that one of them had the front gate of her ranch smashed in. He comments: "It's about time that the American people started to hold left-wing entertainers accountable for their words and deeds." Sieg Heil! There is but one opinion allowed in the world and that is voiced by the BushReich's controlled propaganda machine led by the Gobbles-de-gook media of Fox and Rupert Murdock's. Sounds just like Hitler's Germany, doesn't it? SS bullyboys, Minister of Propaganda, preemptive invasion of another country and everything! Dick Cheney, Karl Rowe, Andy Card with Rummy and the rest of the military thought police. Add the others and you have another deck of the "most-unwanted" cards, like the one created for Iraq. But this deck includes the joker. Oh, no, you say, it's not that bad. The Gestapo shot people for voicing opinions. So right, and those of a certain ethnic origin were placed in concentration camps. The difference in the BushReich is one of degree so far. But, what will happen if this gang is given four more years to intimidate a world with its powerhouse of weapons of mass destruction including nuclear missiles? And the similarity doesn't stop there. You can't have your T.V. on five minutes without seeing Bush swaggering and smirking at least once and usually 2 or 3 times. Now he is busting in on the troops coming home, milking the honor and sacrifice from the returning women and men who laid their lives on the line. The constant use of Bush's picture on the front pages of our daily newspapers reminds one of the pictures of Saddam all over Iraq. And already, the monuments to Bush created by Rupert Murdock's media whores have increase exponentially. Thomas Jefferson said: "Those
