http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-March/175607.html Mario responds: People who are able to read the news in English but still deliberately write such poppycock across the board are said to have a condition known as Bush Derangement Syndrome or BDS. One of the symptoms is a bilious rage and an uncontrollable need to lash out at any hint that President Bush did something praiseworthy:-)) This is followed by heartburn and belching the rest of the day, which contribute to global warming:-)) All I had to do to was to praise President Bush for being civil to his adversaries and, Voila! the symptoms were unleashed:-)) Even listing Bush's failures honestly was insufficient to stop the symptoms from manifesting themselves:-)) Roland wrote: Lying to his own people about the weapons of mass destruction, so as to initiate a war that made the world an unsafe place and that beggared the American people because of its cost. Mario responds: Do educated people still believe this poppycock? This is a provable slander, unless one is completely uninformed about the twelve year run up to the liberation of Iraq and the 17 UN resolutions all demanding an accounting of WMDs which in BDS mythology, did not exist. In the meantime, most Iraqis are delighted with their freedom and democracy as their local and national elections prove, but BDS victims deeply resent the liberation, for reasons that are not clear to me given their typical pretense of being uber humanitarians and the documented oppression the Iraqis had experienced previously. The claim that the world is less safe is so comical and reflects the far left wing blogs still smarting from their defeat by President Bush. Demonizing him is all they are left with:-)) In the meantime, the jihadis are on the run everywhere, except perhaps the Indian sub-continent. However, it is typical of the BDS uber humanitarians to shed crocodile tears for the American people, especially those who also suffer from BDS, as well as for the previous Iraqi dictatorial regime and the Taliban. Roland wrote: Sleeping at the watch that resulted in one of the world's worst economic disasters Mario responds: This urban legend was exposed in this report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM&NR=1 Roland wrote: Actively fostering cronyism that caused his close circle to profit enormously from his misadventures. Mario responds: This is another specious urban legend from the character assassination section of the far left wing blogs with only innuendo to support it. Roland wrote: Completely destroying the concept of sovereignity in order to give the USA the sole right to invade any country it wished. Thereby demolishing the very pillars that built the United Nations. Mario responds: Hmmmmn! "Sovereignty uber alles" is the fight song the BDS uber humanitarians all goose step to:-)) Unfortunately, we had 17 UN resolutions [that's UN folks, not US], most of which were passed unanimously, the last one an ultimatum of serious consequences, i.e. regime change. Also, years of crippling UN sanctions, looted oil-for-food programs, years of no-fly zones to protect innocent Iraqis from Saddam's goons, while the BDS uber humanitarians looked the other way, humming "Sovereignty uber alles" as they goose stepped through life:-)) One has to be substantially discombobulated to believe that the US invaded any country alone and without UN approval. Reminds me of Baghdad Bob who lived in a world of his own:-)) Oh, I just checked, and the UN's pillars are still standing. This is not good news for the BDS uber humanitarians: http://www.iraqunmission.org/ Excerpt: Nationwide elections and return to self-rule have heralded the dawn of the era in Iraq. Feelings of fear and trepidation, once pervasive in my country, have now been replaced by those of determination and hope. The United Nations has been and remains a guiding force in my country’s rapid progression toward stability and democratic governance. [end of excerpt] Roland wrote: Caring nought about the poor in America. Mario responds: Nought? Not true. Bush's policies on education qualitatively improved the performance of the public school system and he encouraged the expansion of low income home ownership to record levels and provided billions for the victims of Hurricane Katrina who had been jeopardized by the incompetence of the local Mayor and Governor. Unfortunately, in hindsight, he probably should not have helped so many low income people to buy their homes, because it was a fundamentally flawed socialist policy that contributed to the current financial crisis. In addition to these actions, Bush policies provided BILLIONS to poor countries to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Ooops! This aid has been expunged from BDS uber humanitarian revisionist history:-)) Roland wrote: Providing tax breaks to the very rich on the basis that it was these people that created America's wealth. Mario responds: In the Walter Mitty world of the BDS uber humanitarians, America's wealth and jobs are created by poor people, or the government:-)) I wonder if Roland was ever offered a job by a poor person???:-)) Here's some more bad news for the BDS uber humanitarians: http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/341.html Excerpt: ....[A] small group of higher-income taxpayers pay most of the individual income taxes each year. In 2002, the latest year of available data, the top 5 percent of taxpayers paid more than one-half (53.8 percent) of all individual income taxes, but reported roughly one-third (30.6 percent) of income. With the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers paying roughly 33.7 percent of income taxes and earn just 16.5 percent of income, it's hard to argue they're not paying a fair share by any reasonable definition of "fair." [end of excerpt] Roland wrote: Maintaining a strong bond with the pharmaceutical and health care industry which ensured contribution to his elections and thereby obtained free reign for itself of the ability to price drugs and health-care out of reach of the average American. Mario responds: Oooh! Those EVIL pharmaceutical companies which develop almost all the new breakthroughs in modern medicines, which countries with "free" health care systems then pirate and copy:-)) Pssst, Roland, I hope you have American health insurance in case you end up on a "free" Canadian waiting list:-)) Oh, if you don't, just drive down to Buffalo, NY and go to any hospital emergency room. They'll take care of you. Roland wrote: Creating a record of being one of the most stupid of Presidents that ever governed America and made that nation the laughing stock of the world. Mario responds: A psychiatrist friend once told me to never feel sorry for really stupid people, because they think everyone else is stupid:-)) Memo to Roland: President Obama and his teleprompter have had his university transcripts sealed, because his grades are lower than Bush's:-)) Roland wrote: Presiding over wars that called for the label "the world's worst terrorist" to be applied to him. Mario responds: Roland's head must be about ready to explode, because he's now quoting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Al Qaeda:-)) Only they and someone who is beyond stupid would consider someone who led the liberation of 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq, enabled Kosovo to become independent, came to the rescue of the Indonesians after the tsunamis, and provided billions for other poor people to fight deadly diseases "the world's worst terrorist." Is this comical, or what? Not in a BDS uber humanitarian Walter Mitty world!!! Roland wrote: Spending billions of dollars and expending vast resources that collectively could not capture the one man who was responsibly for America's worst nighmare. Mario responds: I thought it was 19 men, all now rotting in hell, while the "one brave hero" of the BDS uber humanitarians was and still is hiding in a cave somewhere and hasn't been able to show his face or his rear end either since 2003. The funniest part is the comical BDS uber humanitarians, who are so concerned about the sovereignty of Iraq and Afghanistan, then turn around and demand that the sovereignty of Pakistan be violated:-))
