Sept.20th, 2001, Bush declared the first of a series of wars--this one against terrorism (illegal to do by the way). He said, "We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." And the audience applaused. How many of you remember that speech?
Nov. 4th 2004 Bush said plenty so pay attention. "Coming from a campaign that offered clear policy choices," Mr. Bush said: "When you win, there is a feeling that the people have spoken and embraced your point of view, and that's what I intend to tell the Congress. I'll reach out to everyone who shares our goals," said Mr. Bush, who 24 hours earlier had promised to try to win over those who voted for his Democratic opponent.
"I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it," Bush said a day after a decisive victory that also saw the GOP gain seats in both the House and Senate.
Contending Americans have embraced his conservative agenda, President Bush pledged Thursday to aggressively pursue major changes in Social Security, the tax code and medical malpractice awards, working with Democrats if they are receptive and leaving them behind if they're not.
I see this as a preemptive maneuver against half the American people--any and all who do not agree with him. What he really has said is, "Either you are with me or you are with the opposition."
His Elizabethan ways are to pit two factions against one another and he effectively did this to the Republican and Democratic parties. So if you have noticed how polarized we have become, you can blame it where it belongs, squarely on the shoulders of George W. Bush. Just as Queen Elizabeth used to do, Bush will then be called on to resolve our party differences which means we will all have to go to him for resolution. And we will, because few read this blog, few know their history, and few are willing to believe that any one American can be so diabolical "oh, no--never an American." Just so you know, if the man doesn't succeed in getting us to beg him to resolve our differences, he will launch a war against a bulk of us just as he did to the Davidians in Waco, Texas. Know your history and from now on, know who you are dealing with. A special thanks go to those who voted for Bush. Your wisdom is a noose about my neck and the necks of those I love.
