George Bush doesn't care about you
Just heard about yet another website soliciting
donations to equip our troops in Iraq. Now how bullshit is it that tax paying
citizens need to directly buy equipment for an unjust war to protect our
soldiers while Haliburton is taking in record profits?
Cheers to that soldier who stood up to Donald
Rumsfeld in public forum, even if he was prompted by a reporter looking for a
good story. It took serious guts and I'm betting that he's paying for it. The US
Government is treating the military like crap. It is so obvious that we are
ruled by a bunch of chicken hawks who have no idea what being in a war is all
about. If they did, we wouldn't be in Iraq now. Given that we are in Iraq, the
fact that a private citizen has raised $200,000 to supply snipers with
Binoculars and Body Armor is great, but also insane. Why the fuck are we sending
snipers into Iraq without binoculars and body armor in the first place? The
reason is that George Bush doesn't care about our troops. Our troops which are
made up large numbers of minorities and urban poor. George Bush doesn't care
about poor people. If George Bush did care about poor people, he'd be spending
more money on education instead of cutting it, he'd be spending more on
non-religious charitable organizations, and he certainly wouldn't be cutting
taxes on the people who make the most money. All this time, Haliburton and the
myriad of other private companies who are doing most of the support work for our
troops INCLUDING PROCUREMENT are making tons of money. These are the people
George Bush cares about. Hell, most of these CEOs are personal buddies of his
who donated large sums to his
campaign.
It's time the remaining
Democrats get off their asses and start making this stuff public. Enough
appeasement of the right. We're in a constitutional crisis here.
