Attorney General John Ashcroft visits an elementary
school. After speaking for 15 minutes he says, "I will now answer any questions you have." Bobby stands up and says: "I have four questions, sir: 1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden? 3. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to destroy civil liberties? 4. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Just then the bell goes off and the kids are sent out to play. Upon returning, Mr. Ashcroft says: "I am sorry we were interrupted. I will answer any questions you have." A little girl named Julie stands and says: "I have six questions: 1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden? 3. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to destroy civil liberties? 4. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? 5. Why did the bell ring twenty minutes early? 6. Where is Bobby? |

Serpico was a NYC police investigator who fought corruption and of whom a
movie was made about in the 1970s. He denounces the Bush Corporate Regime and Problems with the 9/11 Reichstag story as spewed by the corporate media cartel propaganda outlets. http://www.pogo.org/p/government/go-...stleblower.htm www.globalresearch.ca www.unansweredquestions.org PS If the trolling fascists on this list wish to criticize this post please accept my response in advance. (This speech was given shortly after 9/11. The Bush Puppet's current rating is less than 50%). In my opinion, an 85% approval rating only proves one thing. Einstein was correct when he said: "Two things are infinite, human stupidity and the universe, and I am not sure of the latter." Serpico wrote in message ...

It's almost a one-to-one correspondence. "The" step-by-step comparison? Don't you mean A step-by-step comparison, put together by an extreme leftist? We are living is a fascist state, quite literally. No, quite literally, we are not. Your claim is a product of a hyperbolic and hysterical extremist. We are not even figuratively a fascist state. There are some very bad trends. I believe Ashcroft is as close to a fascist as one could be without admitting it directly. I believe he and many of his supporters would implement a fascist state whether they realized they were doing so or not. We are not, however, living in a fascist state. If we were, we could not have a federal judge effectively dismiss the charges against the alleged terrorist Moussaoui. We had a chancellor appointed without an electoral majority, No. We had a president elected by the electoral college, exactly as provided by the Constitution. the rounding up of political opponents into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo, That's the biggest rupture of the truth yet. The Nazis rounded up *German* political opponents. The people being held in Guantanamo Bay are all foreign combatants. our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence Bush knew about it beforehand, It isn't "evidence", it's conspiratorial bullshit that irrationally credulous people like you swallow at face value, because it corresponds to what you want to believe for ideological reasons. just as Hitler knew the Reichstag fire was planned, but didn't know the details personally), followed by our Enabling Act (the Patriot Act) gutting civil rights. Like Hitler, Bush has tried to turn people's attention away from domestic problems by Glorious Foreign War, but his Stalingrad has come a bit earlier than Hitler's. Completely wrong, of course, as this kind of crap is almost all the time. There are no domestic problems remotely similar to what was going on in early 1930s Germany. Our economy is growing, inflation is almost non-existent, unemployment is shrinking. There is no great social discord anywhere, except where the ardent U.S.-hating leftists are trying to stir up trouble, chiefly in college admissions programs, where quota-implementing liars are unconstitutionally implementing affirmative action. All is not well, but there is simply no legitimate comparison to be made to Nazi Germany. But unlike Hitler, who took a country in a depression and revived the economy (temporarily), Bush has CREATED a depression No, he has not. Presidents deserve little of the blame for economic downturns, and none of the credit for upturns. There has been no depression. and destroyed the healthy economy Nope. The economy is healthy. and surplus he inherited from Clinton. You mean the surplus he inherited from a Republican congress. Congress passes appropriations bills. See you in the camps! (it's become a greeting around here). There really ought to be some kind of camp for you. |

If that was your intended messages, I extend my sympathies to you. Luckily, for us Americans, we don't live in a fascist state.

(http://www.potus.com/gwbush.html). Although his opponent, Gore, got more of the *popular* vote, according to our laws, it is the electoral votes (i.e., the votes of each of the States in the United States) that actually count. the rounding up of political opponents into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo, I don't know why you Germans let Hitler put citizens into a conentration camp without due process. We don't do it. The detainees in Guantanamo are non-citizens, prisoners-of-war (or, at least, armed conflict) (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/milit...nees_1-22.html). Albeit, from an *international* perspective, the situation is deplorable... but to compare this situation to Hitler's habit of imprisoning German citizens because they were gypsies, gays, Jews, etc. just illustrates ignorant understanding. I thought Europeans were supposed to be educated better. our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence Bush knew about it beforehand, just as Hitler knew the Reichstag fire was planned, but didn't know the details personally), This is sheer ignorance. *I* saw CIA Fact sheet reports in 1996 warning about a terrorist attack, possibly using hijacked planes. The problem is--what do you do with that kind of intelligence? Do you tell your citizenry not to fly planes? Keep the planes on the grounds? Hell, Americans *know* that terrorists have attacked the United States, but still many of them grumble about increased airport security when the threat posture changes because of unsubstantiated intelligence... followed by our Enabling Act (the Patriot Act) gutting civil rights. I have to admit, the Patriot act scares me. But again, I don't see an easy way around the advantages that modern technology has given criminals. The part of the Patriot act I can agree with is the wiretapping portion: criminals are constantly changing their telephones (it's very easy to go to a cellular service and buy a dozen phones, use a phone once, and switch phones--prior to the Patriot act, a warrant had to be given for each phone. Now, a warrant only needs to be awarded to surveill a person). Like Hitler, Bush has tried to turn people's attention away from domestic problems by Glorious Foreign War, but his Stalingrad has come a bit earlier than Hitler's. It's only a "Stalingrad"-like because Americans don't have the resolve to win a war (look at Vietnam). The wimpiness generally is spearheaded by the liberal-left (my opinion). But, unlike Hitler, who took a country in a depression and revived the economy (temporarily), Bush has CREATED a depression and destroyed the healthy economy and surplus he inherited from Clinton. Again, you have absolutely no idea of the history of the U.S., even history that has occurred within the last decade. The rhetoric you're spewing simply tries to undermine the resolve of one of the greatest nations on the Earth. Almost intellectual terrorism of sorts. ![]() |

(This speech was given shortly after 9/11. The Bush Puppet's current rating is less than 50%). Wrong, which is to be expected from a hateful, extremist partisan moron like you. Here are the latest results of polling from several different sources. 1. FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. Oct. 28-29, 2003. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3. "Do you approve or disapprove of the job George W. Bush is doing as president?" 10/28-29/03 Approve: 53 Disapprove: 37 2. Gallup Poll and CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" 10/24-26/03 Approve: 53 Disapprove: 42 3. Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Oct. 23-24, 2003. N=1,007 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" 10/23-24/03 Approve: 51 Disapprove: 40 4. Ipsos-Reid/Cook Political Report Poll. Oct. 21-23, 2003. N=742 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.7. "Overall, do you approve, disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" If "mixed feelings" or not su "If you had to choose, do you lean more toward approve or disapprove?" 10/21-23/03 Approve: 55 Disapprove: 43 Mixed: 2 5. CBS News Poll. Oct. 20-21, 2003. N=751 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4. "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" 10/20-21/03 Approve: 54 Disapprove: 36 6. Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Oct. 15-19, 2003. N=1,515 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" If "Depends": "Overall, do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" 10/15-19/03 Approve: 50 Disapprove: 42 7. The Harris Poll. Oct. 14-19, 2003. N=1,017 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "How would you rate the overall job President George W. Bush is doing as president: excellent, pretty good, only fair, or poor?" 10/14-19/03 Excellent/good: 59 fair/poor: 40 8.

Nor does it mean that you should have posted it here, on a pro-animal rights newsgroup. Why are you here, then, if you are an anti-animal rightist? |
