From Bush Doubles Oil Price

What do you call this new American Right? I call it Right Trash. I said these people are just trash, Right Trash.

Pass it on!

Big business say, “It doesn’t matter to me. I got more tax break on my Hummer than I’ll ever pay Bin Laden and company for gas.”

Got some money? Buy a Ford Explorer. Don’t worry about the gas The guh’ment’ll pay. They deserve to pay. They’re bad.

Meanwhile back at the Texas Ranch (bought just in time for election 2000) Bush and Halliburton-man go money crazy. Ford, GM and war pay off big to this politic-man.

Stalwart leaders of highly ethical American business buying into rampant immorality. Payoffs in politics and business escalating dramatically in the last three years. Secrets and lies. Classified information protecting politicians. Sexual debacles of the Bush Dynasty. Enron. At a party Condy Rice is overheard saying she’ll check with her husb… in the White House. Wait a minute. Condy’s single. And Bush? What’s he? Financial immorality sets in even deeper. Destroys the tenets of loving thy neighbor.

If the goal is to have a higher morality, is it moral to lie in order to get there? We need to be moral in order to be moral. So, even if we were to believe in our hearts that abortion is wrong, we still don’t vote for a president who lies about the presence of weapons of mass destruction.

Now values of the American Right go wrong go East.

Chinaman drives SUV. Uses much gas. Japan. Woman makes big electric bill. “It’s stylish to waste,” she says. Israel and Palestine learn to use bigger bombs to hurt each other better. A war, called a war of Liberation, is still a war. In Iraq, war teaches, duh, war. And for the war, mercenaries.

In the jailhouse, Iraq learns sodomy, prostitution and rape. Never had it before on the streets. Just Saddam and his sons. This is fun. Let’s mutilate.

I’m sorry. Iraq had problems before Bush and so did we. I’d just like to try something a little better than rape.
