    Default GW Bush administration a dictatorship

    Since the sole difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is that the leaders are popularly elected by the masses of people rather than by seizing office by force, being appointed by an elite or by assuming power via a fixed election there can be no other way to describe the GW Bush administration than as a dictatorship.

    The mechanisms whereby the Bush dynasty has seized power and the real agenda they mean to institute become more evident each day. Can conservatives see through the Bush propaganda and beyond their hatred of Clinton/Gore?

    His cabinet appointees are so far without exception men and women whose entire careers involve being groomed by the military-industrial complex, his father's criminally-motivated business circles, far right think tanks with a history of CIA involvement or by the most corrupt channels of Texas oil politics. Rather than being an expression of bipartisanism, the Bush appointees far more closely resemble what police call, the usual suspects.

    What conservatives don't yet fully realize is that the Bush family - including GW - are neither genuine Republicans nor are they genuine conservatives. What they are is genuine corporate-fascists.

    If one examines the core beliefs of genuine conservatives-being against abortion, being for the right to own guns, being against Federal intervention in States rights, being against the UN or other multi-national organizations intervening in US affairs or challenging US sovereignty, being against welfare, being against illicit drugs and being against affirmative action-one will find little if anything that resonates with either the conservative agenda or with the ideologies of the appointees of the new Bush administration.

    The Bush family are long time advocates of family-planning, population control, sterilization of the poor, corporate welfare, increasing UN power, the New World Order and Eugenics.

    Numerous members of the Bush family including his father and brothers and at least one of GW's prospective cabinet appointees--have a history of alleged involvement in drug running at the highest levels. We're not talking about buying drugs for personal use here but massive importations of heroin and cocaine with the full involvement of foreign dictators like George Bush pal Manuel Noriega and the Mafia.

    The Contra arms/cocaine scandal was fundamentally a VP George Bush program. Little brother Jeb Bush is Governor of Florida, the cocaine-saturated State with more drug money at play in politics than any other

    The last election was no different than the phony elections held in third world dictatorships. At least four of the US Supreme Court justices who gave Bush the presidency were either appointed by his father, had sons working for law firms representing GW in the contested election lawsuits or had publicly stated that they had a strong personal commitment to making sure Gore never became President.

    Justice Scalia said he'd resign if Gore became President. Justice O'Conner said she could not retire if Gore became President because a liberal Justice would replace her.

    Both Justices Rhenquist and Scalia have sons working for Bush law firms involved in the election. Justice Thomas' wife works for both the far right Heritage Foundation and the Bush transition team. These Justice's flawed and highly partisan ruling trashed the entire idea of States rights - the very same conservative ideology they have so vigorously defended-not to mention the rule of law, equal protection and the idea of judicial impartiality and restraint.

    The Bush family have been using this same reverse-thinking ploy for decades. To offset their reputation as WWII traitors former President Bush joined the US airforce after the US Congress seized his father's banking assets in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act. I would like someone to explain to me how to reconcile Bush family support for the NAACP with being Hitler's American bankers and longtime advocates for Eugenics - a pseudo science which believes African-Americans are inferior genetically and should be exterminated.

    Republicans who make the argument that even if true this is tantamount to accusing GW for the sins of his ancestors, are deliberately ignoring a crucial fact. The entire idea of compassionate conservatism was invented for GW by the Manhattan Institute - a far right think tank in NYC created by former CIA director William Casey. This same Manhattan Institute spent eight years sponsoring social scientist Charles Murray while he wrote his influential work, The Bell Curve - a book which advocates that African Americans are inferior to whites in IQ as a justification for eliminating both welfare and affirmative action.

    Murray's funding at the Manhattan Institute came from the Pioneer Fund, a far right group which has advocated Eugenics and the inferiority of minorities since the time it was a major supporter of Adolf Hitler in the early 1930

    For many conservatives the idea that GW Bush is a born-again Christian may the most significant factor in supporting him, yet this too is a carefully-contrived propaganda ploy.

    His CIA trained political handlers-expert as they are in the art of deception - understood that being an alcoholic, a drug user, an AWOL air force pilot, the inheritor of a fortune derived from running banks for Adolf Hitler and having membership in the ultra-elite atheistic power conspiracy, Skull and Bones were going to be major negative factors in how conservatives viewed a GW Bush candidacy. The beauty of representing oneself as a born-again Christian is that no one can ever prove you are not a born again Christian.

    Convicted murderers, war criminals and former Watergate burglars have used claims of being born-again as a means to cleanse their record and deflect criticism. Even a number of the death-row inmates Bush has had executed made these same claims. Apparently, GW did not give them the same benefit of the doubt he would expect from us in this regard.

    It is also a bit hard to reconcile the idea of being born again or claiming that Jesus is your favorite philosopher - as GW has - with being the US Governor who holds the Guinness record for ordering executions. On the other hand, enthusiastic support for the death penalty fits perfectly with the Bush family being long-time proponents of Eugenics. Christians may want to note that Hitler - who claimed to be a devout Christian himself - had millions of Christians imprisoned in concentration camps, gassed and used as slave laborers working for some of the very corporate interests which now support GW.

    Notwithstanding my own very strong feelings about the Bush family legacy as Hitler's Wall Street bankers, as anti-Semites and as Eugenicists, even I would begrudgingly accept a GW Bush Presidency as legitimate if he had actually won the election. The problem is that we will never know who won.

    Bush surrogates like New Jersey Governor and Christine Todd Whitman publicly advocated that all ballots be sealed - uncounted - for the entire length of the Bush presidency. This insures that his presidency will always be in doubt. Such a decision can only be understood in light of the Bush family knowing for certain that he did not in fact win in Florida and is therefore not a legitimate president.

    In other words, Bush is a dictator in every sense of the word and should have , as a gross violator of the US Constitution, been impeached. We now live in an open dictatorship organized by corporate interests

    Tigerlilly -- You are so incredible! How do you know all of that? Can you recommend some books or websites?
    I am really freaked out and extremely angry about all of the corruption that has taken place in our country. It is so scary to me that people don't have the knowledge that we need to protect ourselves. I am really trying hard to learn all that I can.
    I have come to the realization that normal people can make a difference if we have the knowledge. I am so grateful to people like Michael Moore, Greg Palast and David Brock for starting this avalanche of truth.
    If you can recommend some websites and books that would be great.
    POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
    Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. - M Rivero

    Considering the electoral college and not the "masses of people" actually choose our president, wouldn't we have to say that every administration since the EC was put into effect is a dictatorship? Just a thought.

    The last election was no different than the phony elections held in third world dictatorships. At least four of the US Supreme Court justices who gave Bush the presidency were either appointed by his father, had sons working for law firms representing GW in the contested election lawsuits or had publicly stated that they had a strong personal commitment to making sure Gore never became President.
    I don't like Bush either, but I'm tired of hearing about how he won the election 5-4 in the Supreme Court. If they had ruled in Gore's favor, all that would have done is allow recounting of ballots, which may have resulted in a Bush victory anyway.

    This is the only vote that counted. --> Bush 271, Gore 269.

    If Gore had campaigned harder to win one more state, any state, including his own, he would be sitting in the White House right now, and we'd be hearing the Republican side bitching and whining about a "stolen election" instead.

    How does she know all that? Easy it's called copy and paste!!!!!!!!!!!
    Pick two consecutive sentences, go to google put them in parenthesis and hit search and you will find the author is Robert Lederman. Notice the misspelling of Chief Justice Rehnquist in both wacky rants. lederman has artwork available for sale "Giuliani as Hitler" is one. This is the rantings of a street artist!!!!!!! C'mon let's be realistic here. Bush is not after strip clubs or abortion clinics. Yes the right wing religous nuts are but they don't run the party. Never will. Just like the wackos at PETA don't run the democratic party. Have you noticed that Clinton was too conservative for many Democrats and Bush is not far enough right for some republicans? You have to be a moderate to get elected, and if you ask me thats a good thing. That is why Kerry is trying to hide/run away from his ultra-liberal voting and Viet Nam rhetoric.

    More of the Michael Moore school of Journalism--make broad generalizations, unsupported by evidence or outright bald face lies. Assert them to be true and so well known that one does not need to give any evidence. Then draw whatever conclusion one wants.

    First--every even somewhat impartial count of the ballots in Florida says GW Bush won Florida, thus winning the electoral college tally. The Supreme Court ruled that illegal way the Florida State Supreme Court tried to steal the election was improper. The election law of the State of Florida (passed by a then Democrat controlled legislature) says a State wide recount--there was/is no provision for a partial recount. A partial recount of a biased sample is a violation of the equal protection clause. If the Fla SC had ruled for a staatewide hand count there would have been no contest. When it got to US SC it was too late to comply with Fla law. If Fla SC had ruled for a statewide recount when the US Circuit ruled against them, there would have been time to do it. They chose not to.

    Scalia never said he was going to resign. Cite the source an not someother whacko's speculation. The rest of the rant follows the same tecnique. Lie and then draw a phony conclusion from it.

    ROFL.

    If you think that our "White House" hasn't been tainted until now, then girl, you have been living with blinders on your whole life.

    Politicans, both Dems and Repubs, are corrupt. They are looking out for their own interest and the interests of their 'deep pockets.' Hell, the last great president we had was probably FDR.

    A veteran friend of mine sends me emails quite often and on every last line the following is said. "A Politican is like a dirty diaper. Both need changed for the same reason!"
    I've heard that a good signiture sets you apart from everyone.

    Yup - it was indeed cut and pasted -- Robert Lederman.... is that who it is ? This was something I had saved from some email debates but it didn't include asource - I know you weren't trying to be helpful to me but thanks anyway for clearing that up

    I hate to disappoint the Dictator Supporters but from the research I have done it does seem to be correct information .
    George W. Bush has stated he'd prefer to be a dictator at least three times :

    "You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier." Describing what it's like to be governor of Texas.(Governing Magazine 7/9
    -- From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"

    "I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.
    -- CNN.com, December 18, 2000

    You do know that Bush is buddy buddy with the guy whose company builds the voting machines right? Not only that but the guy was quoted saying something like he would do whatever necessary to help Bush win

    And lets not forget the thousands of Black and Democratic voters from Florida registration rolls that were purged prior to the last U.S. presidential election

    That’s a huge stretch to imply that any recount or voting numbers were falsified by the supposition that the builder was a Bush supporter. If that were so, then Bush would have "won" by a landslide of votes for him. There is utterly no evidence that such illegal measures had taken place. People have a right to express their opinion of our National leaders. They can even have no good reason for disliking someone other then they just dislike them. I just wish they wouldn’t use speculation, conjecture and subjective articles to back up their opinions – whether their opinions are pro or con – and pass them as fact. If you can’t use hard, testable, corroborative, objective evidence to back up your opinions, then one should refrain from presenting them as anything but an opinion.

    I am absolutely no fan of our 43rd President, but these weak conspiracy theories - unsupported by hard evidence evaluated by unbiased third parties - prove nothing except that people do not like George W. Bush, and will go to any lengths to prove that "they are right" about him, no matter how flimsy the evidence at hand. There is plenty of other things that is provable that can be used to impact opinion of him in a negative way.

    Calling Bush a "dictatorship" itself is insulting in its own way. Real dictatorships are formed by a cult of personality of one man or ideology. They suppress the press, intellegencia, feed its propaganda ad nauseum, utterly destroy any opposition and threaten the entire population with death if they do not tow the line. Obviously the reality of the United States today is that none of this is true. Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Mussolini, Enver Hoxha, Nicolai Ceausescu, Augusto Pinocht, Erich Honecker all were dictatorships - and all obviously have no resemblance to anything that is happening in the USA.

    The very FACT that you can post this on a message board and Governmental agents will not be at your door arresting you, throwing you in prison, making you work in forced labor camps, trying, convicting and executing you proves that using the word “dictatorship" is as wrong as you can be.

    Opposition doesn’t thrive in the open in a dictatorship. It’s obvious there is PLENTY of open oppistion to George W. Bush all around.

    My faorite part of the Florida election was when Gore's camp was demanding that we examine the ballots where there were no presidential votes. Their theory was that they were probably votes where the chad wasn't hanging, but wasn't even punched. So they wanted to determine, and I'm not making this up, "what the intent of the votor was" and then they expected those votes to be counted. And people accuse Bush of stealing an election? Many Dems fail to remember how it was GORE, not Bush who filed the first volley of lawsuits. It was also Gore who was trying to get military votes thrown out. Lastly, when Gore finally gave up on his multitude of recounts (where EVERY SINGLE ONE showed Bush won), there were other outside organizations who then took the ballots and recounted them. What was their determination? That Bush won. Then they recounted them again...and Bush won. Then they handed the ballots over to some real serious left-wing nuts and THEY EVEN HAD TO ADMIT Bush won. There was no stealing of an election. It's called the Electoral process and I've never understood why it was so important until that election. Once I saw the map how virtually 95% of the entire country voted for Bush geographically, it made perfect sense.

    And lastly, to call Bush a dictator because he used the words in different quotes is utterly absurd. Perhaps you don't have a sense of humor, but I do, and I thought those statements were hysterical. LIGHTEN UP for godness sake! Clinton made statements like this all the time and nobody jumped all over him. A few people did, but not like this. I mean JEEZ...cummon already!

    Aw, but PJ, where's the fun in reasoned, considered and civil objective analysis of actual events without the conspiracy rhetoric and partisan vitriol?

    There'd be a lot of unemployed ideologues if we went this route.

    Hell, it would be "easier" for a President to govern if he had dictatorial powers. What was it the pharoah Ramses said after every imperial decision in The Ten Commandments movie.."So let it be written...so let it be done". Just say the word and it happens. Im sure every Western leader has "wished" for that power at one time or another.

    Its obvious those statements were loaded with a ton of irony and jest. To use those quotations as a basis for argument that Bush wants to be a dictator is over the top, even for you TL.

    Yup - it was indeed cut and pasted -- Robert Lederman.... is that who it is ? This was something I had saved from some email debates but it didn't include asource - I know you weren't trying to be helpful to me but thanks anyway for clearing that up
    further more she wasnt talking about u disproving what she posted here, its plainly clear she was refering to ur comments in that other thread
    & just what is so wrong with doing street performing ??? isnt that like bringing his art to the masses & not conforming 2 corporate expectations. Why dont u just admit u dont like her b/c she doesnt follow ur way of thinking....... man ur just a jerk!

    also Bush may have been joking but as they say there's an element of truth in all jokes.... and since his actions support his statements.... well

    She went back and credited the author after I wrote that Robert Lederman was the author.
    then she writes, "Funny part is he couldn't add anything to disprove what I said."
    Well she never said anything!! Robert Lederman said it

    Hmm, three out of contexted quotes (probably said jokingly by Bush) all from left-slanted sources. Gee, what a surprise. I seriously was expecting something more objective. And you're calling the Republicans here sheep?

    Once again, who really gives a shit? Attack the ideas rather than the one that posted it. Some people disagree with you, Ace, deal with it.





    EDIT: For some reason it keeps putting this as a quote, i've edited it three times to remove that, but it keeps coming back.
