terms of engagement
let me state it plainly: i do not give a fuck about George W. Bush.
i do not know the man, other than his public statements and behavior… i don’t know Cheney, Rumsfeld, "Condi", or any of the other lunatics running the asylum…
i do know this: i will no longer allow them, mouthing Karl Rove’s rhetoric, to frame the discussion
i start with the fundamental premise of their argument: i cannot pretend that ameriKKKa currently posesses, or has ever had any "moral authority", either in the "homeland" or abroad.
the greatest genocide the western world has ever known is what ameriKKKan history books casually refer to as "settling the frontier"… the slaughter of innocents is reflex action for ameriKKKans…
every argument and justification for its current cultural war in the middle east is colored by this truth… ameriKKKa is very familiar with how to dehumanize (red skins|sand niggers), demonize (savages|insurgents) and marginalize (battle the heathen tribes|combat enemy insurgents) whatever population they suddenly deem disposable…
this nation was formed on slavery, and fought its bloodiest war because half its enfranchised number demanded the right to trade in human flesh… despite this war, it STILL required three constitutional ammendments and several acts of congress to force ameriKKKa’s white citizens to end their blatant racist behavior…
this nation claims to support its troops? ameriKKKa? a nation where black world war II veterans were lynched for the crime of wearing their uniforms in public???
LYNCHED! brave men who, despite the unrelenting abuse they had suffered at this nation’s own hand, risked their lives to defend the very men who would ultimately murder them… this nation has the audacity to imagine itself even vaguely familiar with morality?
politicians constantly decry the "terrorist threat", almost always meaning young arab men: yet they continually and completely ignore white supremacists, who number in the thousands, are heavily armed, openly preach hatred and violence, and have infiltrated every aspect of ameriKKKan society… they are the single greatest extremist threat currently facing this nation: must another Klebold, Harris, Kaczynski or McVeigh act to prove this point?
in light of this clear misrepresentation of the real threats to this nation, i can no longer pretend that the drumbeat of fear coming from Tweedle-D.C. is anything other than distraction and propaganda…
Guantanamo and Abu Ghirab are Arab concentration camps. "Aggressive Interrogation" is a euphemism for torture, and torture is illegal, immoral; let’s stop the bullshit word games, already.
Vengeance is not Justice. No matter how many times the events of September 11th, 2001 are invoked, this fact remains unchanged. No argument which begins with, or depends on, the phrase "After 9/11" will be given any serious consideration. We fought the Nazis, defeated them, and put the worst of them on trial. We waged the "cold war", and won, without nuclear exchanges or world war III…
if this nation will lead at all, it shall lead by example, not by decree… when men make well-phrased arguments asking me to allow them to torture others, i will call them out as madmen…
i do not petition washington for permission to speak, to act, to think: washington seeks my constant approval for its continued existence. I AM AMERICA, and those motherfuckers in Tweedle-D.C. are little more than my hired hands… the day they get tired of representing my will, they can resign, and seek employment elsewhere…
this is not their country – they are only a few hundred men. stop being so cowed by fear and confusion that you pretend you don’t know that…
the battle is ON, people — you are either citizens or sheep: PICK one…
