When a majority of American voters re-installed Georgie Boy in the White House, it signalled
not just a callous affirmation of his criminal regime, or a foul disregard of human rights at home
and abroad, but most of all an overarching moral hypocrisy. Well, it’s payback time for the
majority’s willingness to look the other way when odious policies are carried out in its name.
Ironically, none other than Georgie Boy — a man you can trust to screw the stupid American
people — and his minions have come up with the all-time monster
payback.
Last week’s item, Welcome to the dark
ages, concluded: “Who said you can’t turn back the clock?”
This morning, Paul Krugman writes in The
New York Times, “… now that the right is running Washington, it’s trying to turn the clock back
to 1932.” Which is all part of Georgie Boy’s payback. “The attempt to ‘jab a spear’ through Social
Security complements the strategy of ‘starve the beast,’ long advocated by right-wing intellectuals:
cut taxes, then use the resulting deficits as an excuse for cuts in social spending.” I think of it as
America’s comeuppance. And who better to deliver the screwing than Georgie Boy.
Give him enough rope and he’ll hang all of us. See Jane Mayer’s “OUTSOURCING TORTURE” in the current New Yorker
and Michiko Kakutani’s “Following A Paper Trail To the Roots Of Torture,” also in
this morning’s Times, for more reasons to detest him, his regime’s war crimes and America’s moral
hypocrisy.
