More anti-imperial propaganda brought to you by that murky international conspiracy to convince the world that the country I'm from is led by an actual, for-real embecile. Now what was the name of that Peter Sellers movie that treated a similar topic?

But, ho hum. Is there really anyone who hasn't already figured this out yet? (Where's Joo?)

Is democracy at fault?

IS letting a people choose the government a bad thing?

Or is the problem withthe people doing the choosing?

Jesus walked on water what are you implying?

What if at the end of the the movie he had a vison in the desert?

"problematischen" Is that a word?

I think that's the parallel that Being There was trying to make.

Dear Mr. One-Track-Mind,

We get it. America is the evil empire and George Bush is the devil. Oh wait, he's too stupid to be the devil. We understand. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

However, with respect for you and your valuable time, I have but one simple request. Use your time more wisely. All of us here understand your obsession with George Bush. We all do. Yet, there are plent of other peopl on other boards out there that you and your sock(s) can use to convert more people to your line of thinking.

It's obnoxious. I mean, you and the others like you on this board have reduced me time and again to the act of defending Bush. I don't do it because I like him, I do it because no one should be able to trash talk the most powerful man in the world without putting any effort into it.

Like you. You scour the blogs and .orgs all day until you find something about Bush, true or not, to post. You don't even come up with your own opinions! You leave all the hard work, such as thinking, to others.

See, you probably like to think that you are better than the other posters you like to condemn, but you are far worse. Why, you ask? They think. They might have opinions that no one else on the planet has, but at least they didn't have to subscribe to a blog to get those opinions.

Your typical OP goes something like this...


1) 1 random sentence critical of George Bush. (Must include one of the following words: (i)mbecile, criminal, mob, regime, or Bushee)

or

If you want a low calorie recipe, you can leave out all original thought and just go straight to #2

2) One article condemning George Bush or the Unitied States in any capacity. (No basis in fact required. Must come from a site with a .0rg extension.)

3) One photoshopped image depicting Bush doing something assinine.

There you go. I have successfully described every thread you've ever started. So, do us a favor. Either change the flavor or the cooking method. It's getting old, quickly.

You saying Bush is comparable to Reagan then? As far as i remember, not many presidents have shown themselves capable of cognitive thought.

Its part of being a US president. They need a guy who appears strong, but is actually a little bit mentally challenged, and open to manipulation by his compadres.
