A Rant
You know what really pisses me off? That these flag waving, America-first, Jesus is my co-pilot NeoCons who have their noses so far up Bush’s ass they won’t admit that Valerie Plame has a legitimate case against the Administration. She was a covert agent who was outed because her husband, a decorated Republican-appointed ambassador, had the temerity to tell the truth.
It seems NeoCons can get behind and even lionize as heroes convicted criminals like G. Gordon Liddy, Ollie North, Elliot Abrams and numerous others with no apparent irony or sense of hypocrisy; but when a person who is a legitimate hero happens to disagree with their Dear Leader, they Swift Boat them.
They are also the first to say that dissent is hazardous to our troops; unless our troops oppose the president or when our spies tell the truth.
Note to NeoCons: If you love this country (a sentiment you practically salivate over on Fox News), you have to play by the rules. You do not take up arms against a brother. You do not expose a CIA agent in the name of political gotcha. You do not attack the mother of one our fallen soldiers because you don’t like her politics. Americans should not be doing this to each other, even under the reign of the divider/decider in Chief.
I am also incensed by people who virtually worship NYC over 9/11 (which is fine), but laugh off disaster victims in New Orleans as godless or fools (how stupid of them to live in a city that is below sea level! They deserved to drown!). This is an historic American city, a crucial seaport and the home of American citizens. Stop laughing about the disaster, you assholes. If other Americans had done this kind of bullshit to Oklahoma City when the American terrorist McVeigh attacked us, I can assure you I and several of my fellow Okies would have tracked them down to kick their asses.
Down is up, up is down with NeoCons. Thank God America is waking up to just how corrupt the entire movement is. To the 33 percent or so of Americans who are too A. Stubborn B. Dumb C. Mean to admit the truth, I say: There’s always Mexico. Go south…you can still steal an election down there, ya bastards.Â

Great rant! I was watching the Beltway Boys on Fox on Saturday (a show I call “Geezer Load”) and their talking point was that Valerie Plame Wilson was a minor level desk-job non-covert lowliest of the low analysts who was completely replaceable and that she is doing this for political reasons. She has no political reasons to be doing this for of course, except that her career was destroyed by these thugs and she’d like a little justice. What was her career worth - I’d say several million at least, or whatever Dick Cheney is worth; either one.
I’m also sick to death of the glorification of 9/11. I have wanted to say “move on” for 5 years now. Can we get past it? Not as long as the Bush administration runs the media. The city that deserves attention for the last year is New Orleans. Manhatten deserves attention as the city that will be completely under water when Bush’s failed environmental policies become apparent some time in the next 10 years.
Thanks. Sometimes you just gotta get it off your chest! You make some excellent points, too. I just hope people are listening.
