WONDROUS THINGS
| It is said that faith can move mountains
but no one seems to know just how far bullshit can be thrown and still
keep believers on their knees before this administration.
Posturing somewhere between a political looser and an itinerant preacher, Bush proclaimed, "In the life of our nation we have seen that wondrous things are possible when we act with God's grace." Geez-amighty! Hala-looya! In the life of our nation while he has been controlling the entire government, House, Senate, Supreme Court and Oval Office, we have been inundated with his avowals that he is doing the Lord's business here on Earth. So would that mean that the following wondrous things were under the auspices of God's grace? Two rigged and stolen elections Divisive tactics to control free speech Faith based attempt to meld religion and politics Tax cuts forthe richest Americans Destruction of the World Trade Center - warnings ignored Education and other programs mandated that were never funded Skyrocketing drug prices Reduction of environmental controls Strip mining allowed on public lands Opening Alaska for oil production Shock and awe preemptive killing of thousands of Iraqi Reciprocal killings of American troops Attack against Social Security Inexperienced cronies appointed to Homeland Security management Cronies appointed to head up FEMA The drowning floods of New Orleans with loss of many lives Patriot Act and Son of Patriot Act Unfunded entitlement programs sending states into bankruptcy Renewal of tax cuts for the rich A bankruptcy law that hurts the poor and small businesses The shame of allowing prisoner torture in Abu Ghraib and Git-Mo Off-shore oil drilling encouraged Keeps a known felon on staff, Karl Rove, who outed a CIA agent One humongous national
debt And this is only a partial list of the wondrous things George Bush is responsible for as he admittedly "acts with God's grace". His legacy already is that of the most secretive and dangerous administration in the history of the country. The "suffering South" will long remember how he emulated Nero -- staying on vacation, playing his guitar while New Orleans flooded and families drowned. However, a side affect of all these wondrous things is that they illustrate the total folly of combining church and state. The founders of this country knew what they were doing; Bush doesn't have a clue and doesn't give a shit. 2005-038E Copyright 2005 Renee T. Louise and Ruth M.
