bush master plan...the gutting of america.
It seems to me that bush has somewhat of a plan that he's following and these are the reasons why:

I dont think he likes citizens of the u.s. in general, he shows distain for the working stiff, and moves in the circles of the ultra-rich. He believes he can get away with lying through a well organized campaign of misinformation. He knows he can count on the "patriots" of the country to follow blindly.

I believe he thinks that people of his financial stature were chosen by god. His religiosity (or is it ultra religiousness ?) manifests itself in his 'faith based programs'.

Using two powerful forces, religion and patriotism, he is sending the country into a financial and ethical tailspin that when it bottoms out will have people scrambling to make a life with little education and a renewed reliance on the church.

In the end, money equals righteousness, any way to maintain the lifestyle of the ultra rich, screwing children out of education and health care, screwing adults out of a living wage, censoring information. The ends justify the means. Hell, you cant even sue HMO's for failing to provide service now.....just one example out of many.

18. Yet another irony
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 11:59 AM by chookie
Let's see -- Bush and his followers wish to establish a traditional Judeo-Christian government in the US, based on Biblical law, an ultra-"conservative" authoritarian religious society and feel this is the most natural and normal thing to do -- BUT demand, at the point of a thousand guns, that Muslims establish "liberal" democratic secular governments. Seems fair. /sarcasm off

3. yup - that's about right, minus a few warts
he's a lazy, self-absorbed semi-recovered drunk who really thinks he is FUNNY as well as smart. he is a great blackmailer (Shout out to Arlington!) and he truly thinks that beyond the godly pre-selection, he should rightfully be able to legally buy or threaten his way out of anything.

5. Ship good paying jobs overseas and you get rid of the
middle class. Get rid of the middle class and there is no money for the Democrats. Very simple plan. However, I haven't figured out where they're going to get money for taxes if everyone but the super rich is broke.

6. I don't think they will need taxes
It'll be the start of Neo-Feudalism. With the super-rich business élites acting as the Feudal lords. The poor (the vast majority of us) will owe everything to the the Feudal lord: any job, any money, any home and probably our votes. We'll have "privileges" as opposed to "rights", as privileges can be taken away if we misbehave.

8. What's actually really funny
is that most of my middle-class friends support outsourcing because they think it benefits their class.

10. But...
Who will buy the goods and services "they" have to offer?

Somehow, I don't think an Indian national can bring his car to the US to have a mechanic work on it or will drop in at the local coffee shop.

7. Welcome loveable liberal. And yes, this is social engineering.
It starts with redistribution of wealth, then making it permanent, and then placating the "proles" with religion, junk food, and popular entertainment to keep their attention off Washington and Iraq.

And the scary part is I have a feeling this administration has yet to flex its muscle to extract retribution on us intellectual malcontents, political opponents, and/or non-neocons.

9. The New Right Wing
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 06:03 AM by Disturbed
Their goals are to make the Middle Class the Working Poor, get rid of all Govt. Social Programs, labor unions, make all abortion illegal and strip the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They also want to make homosexality a crime and change the Constitution to incl. no same sex marriage. They want to make tax cuts for the rich permanent and allow Corporations to pay no taxes. They want to bring Christian prayer and creationism to all schools and have a voucher system. They want to roll back all environmental laws back to the 1900's. Hmmm...what did I forget?

12. Not just Bush plan
Here is what a personel hero of mine says:
saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

Need I say that Raygun's "shining city on the hill" hides the view of the shanty shacks around back.

The time to stop playing nice is upon us. The one way to get a misers attention is interupt his money supply.

13. bu$h was never intended to be more than a ONE-termer, either!
His pResidency is Poppy's Revenge. This junta has been merrily looting and plundering the country (and as much of the Earth as they could get their tentacles on) like there's no tomorrow. And there IS no tomorrow now.

If you Follow The Money, every move bu$h has made/will make is perfectly understandable.

16. Correct, The Imperial Family seeks nothing less than the End of America
At least the part of it that contains the Constitution, Checks & Balances, the Bill of Rights, and the idea that Filthy Little Nobodies should have a say in thier (our) governance.
