Gaza and the Christian wrong..er right.

Ok, here's a President that managed to snow half the voting population in the country into believing he's God's own right hand.
Well for all you geniuses on the Christian 'right' who support this idiot, lets recount.

- You voted for him on the idea that he'd do somthing about abortion.
Well, he has not put a single, real, pro-lifer in a position that matters. He's only put phonies like himself in these positions. Example, John Ashcroft*. The countries top lawyer, said outright that Roe V. Wade was the settled law of the land. Sound familiar? It's nearly exactly what W's nomination for the supreme court said. John Roberts has also said he will not challenge Roe V. Wade and he considers it the 'settled law of the land'.

*Ashcroft did however manage to propose concentration camps to put U.S. Citizens in. And he did this _BEFORE_ 9/11. Zig Heil herr fuhrer Ashcroft. (http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0814-05.htm)

There's LOT's more, see sites like http://www.intellectualconservative.com/article3114.html for more .

Now, let's talk about Gaza. The Republican lie machine is already spouting nonsense by saying that this is all Israel's doing. Nonsense, Bush was overheard saying Israel better learn to compromise or else over a year ago. They can say any lies they want now, his comments are on record as instigating, supporting, and pushing the Gaza pullout among other things.

Now this guy claims to be a devout Christian?! Please, no Christian in his right mind would dare to be part of taking Israel off it's promised land. If you believe the Bible, which you must to be a Christian, then you must believe that this land was given by God to the jews. You also must believe what happens to those who screw with Israel and their promised land.

It doesn't matter if you are a Christian, or an Athiest or some other crap, you don't have to believe the Bible to get this.
Here's the point. W claims to be a devout Christian.
If this is true, then he must believe the Bible is true (if not, he's not a Christian)
If the Bible is True, then the land _was_ promised to the Jews and is theirs.
Anyone who messes with that is in trouble.

So you now are faced with the fact that Bush MUST be a liar. Because he cannot both be a devout Christian AND support the Gaza pullout.

He can't be a Christian and not believe the Bible to be true.

But then he already said as much. He said in an interview that he doesn't believe the Bible is the abosulte, literal word of God. And yet moron Christians still support like he was the second coming.

I think I'm going to run for Emperor of earth. I'll run on the religious right platform. Apparently these morons will vote for anyone.

CAFTA

So W pushes through CAFTA. I wonder what country his fat corporate masters want to expolit in Central America? I mean it's got nothing at all to do with furthering the US economy in general. Rather it's about allowing his economy raping Enronesque corporate puppeteers to expand their range of exploitation.
Don't believe me? Look at NAFTA. What a train wreck. They used it to get carte blanche in Mexico.
They moved expensive American union jobs to Mexico in order to improve their profits. Even more amazing is that they don't even hide it. They admit it. However they tell the mouth breathing sheep of a public that it's actually good for the economy. That all the staggering profits they now make will go back into the U.S. economy. And it will create new, better jobs. 'New economy' jobs. Well where are they? Sure W didn't do NAFTA, but it took him to really exploit it properly. He's the one that pushed the tax breaks and incentives that not only caused companies to move manufacturing to Mexico, but then he made the incentives that allowed these same companies to move their 'new economy' jobs to India. Ask a friend who works in I.T. how many friends lost their jobs to some I.T. 'sweatshop' in India.
There are NO statistics that back up the lies about the creation of 'new economy' jobs or the claim that all the profiteering is helping the general economy.
Despite all the outright lies during the election, this administration has NOT added jobs to the economy. And certainly not these supposedly wonderful, high paying 'new economy' jobs. In fact the real statistics show that the majority of the jobs created under this administration are lower paying jobs. Minimum wage jobs. A minimum wage this administration won't raise I might add.

The only country that should have been included in a free trade agreement is Canada since Canada has a similar standard of living (slightly higher actually IMO) and therefore can have fair and equitable trade. But the U.S. can't even handle trading with Canada fairly. The U.S. has illegaly tarrifed over $5 billion on softwood that the NAFTA court ruled illegal. Now these NAFTA rules are by treaty U.S. Law, signed by the U.S. And now, by breaking that treaty, the U.S. is committing a crime. But since when has that mattered.

After all, this is a president that made ignoring international law a matter of policy.


So I'm waiting to see who's jobs will be lost due to CAFTA. What industries will be moving to Costa Rica?
