Propaganda Debunking

THE SICKNESS OF THE RIGHT


A couple of weeks ago, minority leader in the House of Representatives John Boehner was sobbing uncontrollably as he begged his colleagues for an answer to his question, "when are we going to fight back in Iraq?". A few days later, Michael Reagan (the President's adopted son) said this "we should close down the media, and let the troops do what they're supposed to do--kill Iraqis and kick down doors." Two million Iraqis, or more, displaced, two million in refugee camps, hundreds of thousands killed and wounded, destruction of the Iraqi infrastructure, and a republican congressman wants us to fight harder, and a conservative talk show host wants us to kill more (even though we don't know who the more are), and shut down our media! "Shut down our media", now that sounds like a plan. The thirty percent who are still with Bush would love to shut our media down. There is no question that FASCISM is alive in America. I accused the conservatives of being
stupid and ignorant, but it's much more complicated than that. Nine of the ten republican
candidates in the debate think it's acceptable to use nukes against Iran. There isn't a country on the face of the earth, including Israel, who would be amenable to this insanity. Bush wants to build a missile shield in eastern Europe, and tells Putin that it is to protect these countries against an attack from Iran or North Korea. Only an American conservative could possibly believe this garbage. These conservative lunatics want another war. Really! We went to war with half of a small country, and they fought us to a stand-still. Again we went to war with half of a small country, and they won. So to regain our self-esteem, we invade a tiny island nation, and then another tiny nation...hey, to hell with this. Let's make it a good one this time. Let's invade China. China has nukes, China is enlarging their military, China is threatening Taiwan, China is a Communist dictatorship, China is hurting our economy and is holding a trillion American dollars. Listen up, you conservatives, stop watching John Wayne war movies. It's not that damn easy.
In the republican debate last week, the question of evolution was asked again. This upset some of the candidates, and when they were asked if they believed that the earth was six thousand years old, one of them stepped forward and said, ''I don't know how old the earth is. I wasn't there. But I do know that God loves us, and that we are made in His image." Now how does he know that; he wasn't there. He said so. As he spoke those words, the conservatives in the audience were nodding their heads like a bobbing doll on a car dashboard. For you conservatives who nodded your heads, here is a simple question, does God love the people in Darfur, or Iraq, or the people devastated by the tsunami and Katrina, or the people living in tornado alley? Now if he loves these people, what the hell would happen to these people if He hated them? That scares me to even think about it. And how does this congressman know that we are made in God's image? Nobody's ever seen God. So allow me to dispel any notion that we are made in God's image with these indelicate questions: if God has the same physiological make-up as we do (for instance, a penis), then are they functional like humans are? If not, then what are their functions? Don't be offended. It's a legitimate question. Today, the House passed a bill to finance embryonic stem-cell research. The President said he would veto it. Now this is my wish: every person who agrees with the President should contract diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, or all of them at the same time. Shocked? Not as shocked as I am that Americans are so willing to raise barriers to prevent scientists from finding cures for these diseases. So who are these Americans? They are the conservatives--the same kind of people who put and kept Hitler in power. They will cling to this President to the death, and not because of the "stupidity and ignorance" argument, which is partly the reason, but, like the conservatives in Nazi Germany, there is a flaw in their genetic make-up that makes them indomitably resistant to reason. There is no other explanation, but if any of you conservatives have one, I'd be more than willing to listen.
