Right-wing centrist hate is just too much to stomach sometimes. We simply can not criticize President Bush when we are in a time of war – a long war against terrorism that will never end. Do you people not understand that it is our blind and uncritical love of George Bush that keeps our women and daughters safe from Muslim enslavement?

As many in the right wing have stated over and over again, that any and all criticism of the President weakens him. It is our patriotic duty to look the other way when our President fails – even when he fails to deliver on his own legacy.

Bill O'Reilly on that Bush legacy:

"He’s done. He’s through. … He will now go down in history…as an ineffectual leader. And I’ll tell you the reason why, it’s poor leadership on his part. The people that he picked to run certain things have been disastrous. And no leadership and now Americans are getting hurt" (The Radio Factor: 09.18.2008)

If you believed that Bill was correct when he stated about Air America Radio that "..all those clowns at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care." (The Radio Factor: 06.20.2005)

Anti-Americanism can not stand. 

Action must be taken.

This tactic is right from the McCain playbook. You know, the same candidate who votes with Bush and his policies 90% of the time. And like Bush - McCain doesn't care if it takes a 100 years for "victory" in Iraq. (At the average rate of 750 American causalities a year, we are looking at 75,000 American deaths. That's the size of an average Midwestern city.)

At his RNC acceptance speech last week, McCain dubbed himself the reform candidate. This is code: reform meaning change. McCain knows that the majority of Americans are dissatisfied and upset with the past 8 years of the Bush Administration. One only needs to review the polling to see that Bush is a Nixon bottom feeder.

Sorry, if you vote McCain, you vote the whole of the Republican establishment. Effectively, there will be no change in domestic or foreign policy, because McCain will not reform. McCain will step blissfully in Bush's wingtips. Happy with Bush '04? You won't be happy with Bush '08 by McCain proxy.

Like our mom above, McCain must steal the identity of the Obama campaign.

To expect change from a Republican is like dressing up a 33-year old mom as a high-school cheerleader, or a cheerleader up as president.

 The Bush-Nationalist at LCL, Amy Hemmer and Jim Hayatt puke ad nasuem that criticism of President George Bush is tantamount to being "hateful" and "Un-American" toward this country.

In fact, when not impugning a liberal's patriotism isn't enough ire for them, they go far as to assert that liberalism will destroy America and is enabling terrorism.

This magic-chant for them is designed to anger their opponent as a direct attack, and to reassure their smug arrogance in all things "American." You know, the more times they say it, the more they think the chant will become true.

This criticism is nothing but religious dedication and deification of a person - George Bush. Bush is objectified in this way.

The right-wing Bush-Nationalist, above all believes that George Bush is not to be criticized by a liberal. However, if the criticism comes from the right-wing, then by all means, is the criticism legitimate. Of course, the further to the right the criticism is, the more valid it becomes.

Imagine if Article 3 of the 1215 Lateran Council was penned today and read:

We imprison and criminalize every liberal raising itself up against this holy, Conservative Republicanism  which we have expounded above. We condemn all liberals, whatever names they may go under. They have different faces indeed but their tails are tied together inasmuch as they are alike in their pride. Let those condemned be handed over to the religious or secular authorities present, or to their bailiffs, for due punishment.

The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 is widely credited with centuries of antisemitism for the ridiculous crime of "Host Desecration."  Oh, that persecution - by Christians of course.

This afternoon, I checked my mail. I received this direct marketing piece from McCain included an unnecessary absentee ballot request form (I'm already registered), but a nice 4/4 piece extolling the virtues of John McCain.

Unlike Amy Hemmer, who trashed an Obama pin to waste resources in some futile gesture to stroke the fires of her shallow conservative beliefs – I wish to make a point by shredding this advertisement of a smiling McCain, posturing in front of an American Flag no less, to itty-bitty pieces.

Simply, no symbol like a flag or creed, or no person is beyond criticism. No object supersedes the right of individuals.

Bush-Nationalists are the most vile of all types of authoritarians. Like St. Augustine, they have suppressed their own authority, their own reason, for the authority of an ideology that holds itself immune to criticism. No, we are not discussing a falsifiable belief system - open to revision, but a dogma as every bit as poisoning to a civil society as the a cracker becoming the flesh of Christ and the subsequent pogroms waged against countless Jewish populations.

If Obama does not win the election (as polls begin to trend in McCain's direction), Bush-Nationalist will become McCain-Nationalist.

I've blasphemed and desecrated a symbol of their religious affection.

I await my inevitable anathematization on that day.
