Why do people deny such abuses by the Bush admin?
Why do people still scapegoat whom the Bush admin tells to hate?
Why does nothing change election after election?

I think it's people are for the most part are ethical cowards.Afraid to lose,afraid to challenge a system of power,afraid to say no to someone they believe is powerful,because it's easier to go with the mindless mob's opinion than think, it's easier to sit on your ass and moan rather than do.Because people are such cowards,so greedy, manipulable,controllable and scared they lost their sense of right and wrong,People ape the leaders of societies and if the leaders are corrupt than the culture is too.

Because people would rather by stand in the face of abuse and deny it or wring their hands rather than face the wrath of a bully not getting his way and fight him and beat him down(in any way that works) and take away his 'power'.

Because as a species we are to too beholden to our own comfort seeking,our own status appearing,so we forget so easily if we want to maintain the perks of empire (suv's, steaks for dinner, electric lights) we also by default embrace the ugliness and thievery,abuse and tyranny empires require too..and we deny it matters because we want the perks, we,turn away..we say the hate words and than go out and get a nice meal at a restaurant...We are too beholden ethically to the sickest most abusive,greedy,deceptive people among us and even worse we trust them and trust their judgments,when there should be no trust given and worse we give them power 'honors' and wealth when they deserve neither..

Our morality is inverted. We are taught as kids to call goodness an evil and evil a goodness. Work sets nobody free yet we work more hours here in the land of the free,except for the kinds of hours put in by slaves.
Christianity is amoral. If you look at it's core Christ himself excuses torture and Christians spend alot of time'wrestling'with that catch 22 that cannot be resolved as long as torture is seen as evil and wrong by you..It's unsettling to acknowledge God set people up for suffering,(he put the tree off knowlege in the garden and made people to be curious,made a devil,he knew he would fall,if he knows it all like fundies say, God designed and predestined people(it could be your mom even) to eternal torture too. Calling eternal torment in hell the act of a "good" loving God is sick.That is why kids have to be forced to church & indoctrinated while they are young..The Christian God itself Excuses torture and relishes in it(book of Joshua). So Christianity when taken literally especially ...is Moral Relativism.

That Moral Relativism is how Bush can call on Jesus and rewrite the law as to say torture is not torture..

He is a Moral Relativist Dressed up like he has morals ,like millions of other Christians..

Bush's morality is Christian.To Christians they claim God's game of eternal torment in hell is not really torture ,God approves of it so it's all good...(NOT). A Christian Bush will (like his god does)claim those kids the admin abused in Abu Gharib were not really kids and it wasn't really rape because it was for a good cause(war on terror) as they rewrite the law that prevents such sociopaths from destroying humanity to suit their ends and deny it..

See the immoral similarities here?
