War of Assumption

      Last night the Presidential moron inadvertently showed how little he and 
his buffoons in Congress think and care about people in general and US military 
people in particular. Boy George said in his 2007 State of the Union speech 
concerning the soon to be four year old war in Iraq, "We went into this largely 
united, in our assumptions and in our convictions." (!) CAN YOU BELIEVE BUSH 
AND THE POLITICIANS STARTED A WAR BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS???!!! How can this be??? 
This is a war crime if there ever was one! A definite crime against humanity!

      This spoiled little rich kid, this former cheerleader, has the criminal 
audacity to send young people off to kill and to be killed on assumptions! He 
said it himself! And all the political whores in attendance didn't bat an eye! 
They know it's true, too! This was and is truly a bi-partisan crime!

      Remember when he was at the Press Club dinner pretending to look for the 
lie he told the world in order to get this terrible war started, the Weapons of 
Mass Destruction??? He looked under tables and he looked under chairs saying 
after each fake attempt with his girlish little smirk, "Not here, no, they're 
not there!" to the laughter of the hollow human beings who were, and are, 
pretending to be journalists who made up the crowd. When I saw that on national 
television, I thought it would spark a mutiny in the armed forces, but instead 
there was nothing. It appears the marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen are 
great non-thinking. orders-following menial servants to this gang of privileged 
war-pig politicians! It's sad to see the real American spirit, the spirit of 
defying and overthrowing established government with guns and bayonets, appears 
to have died.  We're no longer Americans, we are only consumers who're 
occasionally used as cannon-fodder.  

      Looking up the word "assumption" we find, "the act of taking for granted 
or supposing."  Can you imagine starting a war, a war that has claimed the 
lives of over 100,000 Iraqis and over 3,000 US military personnel and that 
costs over 2 BILLION tax dollars PER WEEK on assumptions??? I know I go out of 
my way to avoid making assumptions. The saying goes that if you assume 
anything, you're making an ASS out of YOU (U) and ME. Bush and the soulless 
kosher plutocrats in Congress are making an ass out of all the grunts and all 
the military people who've taken part in this deadly assumption, the living and 
the dead and wounded. They're making an ass out of all of the American people 
(especially those who are stupid enough to vote) and all people who take part 
in the Iraq war.

      As Americans, we should never forget the lesson George Washington taught 
us and the world, especially the British government: governments cannot win 
guerrilla wars if the guerrilla fighters are determined. It's impossible. If we 
had remembered that in the past, the Vietnam War never
      would have happened.

      We are losing the guerrilla war in Iraq, just as we lost it in Vietnam. 
When the politicians attempt to win yet more political favor with the powerful 
Israeli lobby and start wars on Israel's behalf in Iran and Syria, we will lose 
those, too. The only ones who will benefit are the politicians and Israel. 
Israel will have key enemies defeated, or at least thrown into chaos, at our 
expense and the politicians will carry on their profitable political careers as 
if nothing happened. They know the American people are too selfish to really 
rebel against the government. The most the American people will do to show 
opposition to a corrupt and deadly kosher regime is to vote one group of 
cowardly sell-outs out of office and vote another gang of cowardly sell-outs 
into office. They'll scream, "Vote the bums out!" not being bright enough to 
realize that they're voting the same kind of criminals in! They probably 
justify it by thinking  that it's easier and safer than starting a real
      revolution.

      Many people think we have the Second Amendment for people to go duck 
hunting or for people to have gun collections. This is not the case. We have 
the Second Amendment to make it possible for people to alter or abolish a 
corrupt government, just as America's founders did in 1776. As Thomas Jefferson 
wrote, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and 
bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in 
Government."  

      Jefferson also wrote, "Where then is our republicanism to be found? Not 
in our constitution certainly, but merely in the spirit of our people." Based 
on the passive response of the American people to the crimes our government is 
committing in our name, even when the plutocrats and media elites are openly 
making fun of us and our dead and wounded children for their own base 
amusement, I'd say there's not much spirit left in us.

      Jefferson warned Americans of his day as well as us that after the 
Revolution, people will not care about society and right and wrong. They will 
instead primarily care about money, and while they're chasing after the dollar, 
their country will be sold out from under them. He wrote: "They
      (the people) will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. 
They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will 
never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights." This has 
already happened. Anyone who honestly thinks the politicians have any respect 
whatsoever for us or our children has had his or her head plugged
      into their television for far too long!
