A list of government offenses Conservatives should really be upset about.
Not that I am a fan of the slow, inexorable erosion of our Constitutionally protected freedoms or Rosie O’Donnell, but I am a fan of calling bullshit, bullshit. And lately, there’s been more bull feces flying around than at a rodeo after a dysentery outbreak. So in that pursuit, I offer Rosie’s list of offenses perpetrated by the Bush Administration that Conservatives didn’t seem to mind:
- You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
- You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
- You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
- You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed. (Twice!)
- You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
- You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
- You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
- You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
- You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
- You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
- You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
- You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
- You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
- You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
- You didn't get mad when the president ignored the clear and timely warning that terrorists were going to hijack planes and fly them into the WTCs.
- You didn't get mad when the weapons inspectors, who said there were no WMDs, were ignored.
- You didn't get mad when hundreds of thousands of people died in Iraq.
The list goes on and on. But the point is, Conservative jackasses can't just let the total eradication of our rights and civil liberties slide, and then get all outraged when a Democrat enacts legislation trying to control spiraling health-care costs using a plan eerily similar to one proposed by Mitt Romney (a Republican, btw).
That is total and utter bullshit. And Conservatives know it.







Well said, Peter!
