Thread Name: BS: Bush's Opium War
Subject: What if Abe could see us now???
Ahh the ol gang is back lilhawk Amos and the uninvited guest among others...

I was wondering what good ol Abe would think of the Bush dynasty.
How would Lincoln feel about the now GOP now if he were still alive?
I am not as eloquent or educated as Mr. Lincoln but when has that ever stopped me .....

..................................................................

Lately we have been fooled most of the time but I still believe It can't be done all the time.

I see that 60 acres and a mule was never delivered.
I am sorry for those who are still waiting,
but it is time to move on.
You have earned more than this country has returned you, and for your perseverance, I thank you,
history thanks you.

For all those descendents of the great civil war, this great nation may call upon you to serve in its next great mission.
I ask you to first ask yourselves
"whose God and country is the current president talking about??".
Being duped by those that are already duped is for sheeple and not a free people.

What do I really think of our leaders and GOP today?
They have become the tyrants we once defeated.

Like seafoam these arguments flow in and out but the beach remains. But now a storm is coming and even this beach will be in peril with weapons unimagined in our great civil war.

I am secure in the fact we know who we are. Looking at the results of a plan to dominate the US by any means possible I am saddened. Its not like we really don't know who committed all the desperate assassinations of the 60's. I did not know mine however. Victims seldom do.

I hear the former George Bush didn't fool the most underprivileged either. His greatest achievement was not Operation Desert Storm but the LA riots. Washington DC is ripe for such riots today. The average reading ability is only 3rd grade in DC. The unemployment is high, more people have less to lose and no right to vote for a Senator or Congressman.

These are nervous times.

Vice President Cheney is dancing around like a spider on a hot plate and is digging a bunker under his home in DC.
He has advised FEMA that it may quarantine city populations with the use of the Army to counter "small pox" like outbreaks.
The current presidential dynasty has a free "do over" granted by Rhenquist to "get it right" this time. You can bet they have contingency plans they missed the first time around.

After all... multi billionaire fortunes and multi trillion dollars are at stake. All the mergers that can happen have now happened in industry, oil and of course every branch of the media.
These monopolies do not benefit the average man.
The main job of the media now is getting the average man to support the corporate and government crimes committed against him.

In this country, exactly who are the dupes?:
some are the white nazis like the KKK, some are arrested at adolescence for all their life. and some claim their love is a divine wisdom ,yet lust for executions and war, and the rest are the good people who have chosen to remain silent.

They are led by one issue at a time under the banner of God and country. They are told they are the elite. The right is mobilized by one issue politics like guns or abortion. They are told they are morally higher than everyone else, they are told they will get a tax break and they fall for it every time.
With the mandate of a court determined election the talk radio right struts about stammering that their majority rules, their morality is sacrosanct and only their patriotism counts - others may simply be traitors or at least suspect.

The right really is more than the sum of its duped parts.
It is for God and country in the name of nameless corporations.

The so called left wing opposition to these corporations*
(*businesses that owe no allegiance or taxes to this nation)
can be fooled as well.
There are bigots for the left and those that embrace a fictitious political correctness as to not offend, and in the end become offensive in that effort.
The left is everyone that is sick of the rip off,
not just a segment of socialists or any group with a name or banner,
but the entire Spectrum of the people.

Just imagine a government by the people
for the people

and not just corporations.

Including republicans that understand the moral bankruptcy of CEO white house connections.

Including single parents who gladly take education vouchers not because they hate public education but because there are too many guns in the urban schools.

Including the elderly that see all the breaks given to drug companies but none for them as hmos and monopoly pricing leaves them choosing between food or medication.

Including veterans who have now witnessed the republican president and Supreme Court deny them all the health benefits they were promised prior to going to war.

Including anyone who believes the USA has the might to defend itself without selling its entire economy to Lockheed, star wars 2, and GE while erecting the largest police state to ever infest this country.

Fair minded people have been called the opposition, whackos and much worse. But no matter what we are called...
We are more than the sum of our parts.

We are about to witness another war very similar to our last war that in no small way helped kindle the hatred leading to 9-11 although 9-11 is already so convoluted with unanswered questions, that some say it makes the Warren Commission pale in comparison.


My dear Americans:
Guard against any feeling of powerlessness, brace yourself against CNN claims of victory with the aid of animations, maps and retired generals while the stars and stripes play.

The world is watching. They may see more than we will be allowed to see.
A well informed pulic is the foundation of democracy.
A well informed public is our national security.
An ill informed public is an intentional criminal act.
But ignorance is no excuse for you or anyone.
Some of the world believes all Americans have blood on their hands.
The rational know better and see how easy people have been duped for thousands of years.

Yes during the civil war I suspended Haebeus Corpus for a time.
But I did not ask for an ongoing war for all time,
I did not suspend the bill of rights indefinitely.

I only ask that fellow Americans give no aid to the enemy, foreign or domestic. I ask that you consider that some of the domestic enemies may be oily politicians with a grand design who no longer ask you for sacrifice but demand it.

We are now on the march across the sea.

The countdown to war drones on.

The might and fight of the right may have bitten off more than they can chew.

So I encourage you to remove the princely and mentally impoverished presidential imposter.
Remove this vestige of his CIA father from the White House.

George says "I get to decide, not you"

Do not be duped.

YOU GET TO DECIDE
NOT HIM.

They have stolen the name of my grand old party

Do not let them steal the nation.

The Homeland Address:

The concept of a faith based fundamentalist government will attract many devout and religious people.
God bless you all, but it is the oldest and most insidious con game.
America was an experiment to rest authority on the unalienable rights of man and not a religion or king.

This faith based con game demeans religion by elevating it for the manipulation by war lords
and not the lord.

Even in the face of facts there are those that will virtually worship a warlord President and do not know they are duped.

When the duped are proven wrong they retreat to their faith and defend their position.

They retreat to their guns.

When the polite barriers are broken down
when even the law does not deliver justice
all that is left is might makes right.

and that my friends is war.

On our own or foreign shores
The shore where truth and freedom
are dashed by the storm of intolerence.

preserve the truth.

Preserve our nation.




Abrahakman Lincoln
