Cognitive dissonance

I'm sure you don't believe that nonsense, and I'm sure you wouldn't lie. I'm stuck.

Where were you when Cheney and Rumsfeld were supplying Iraq with chemical and biological weapons and the ability to deliver them? Where was the outrage? Or didn't that bother you? Does it bother you now?

(Even Bill Kristol had the decency on Fox a few months ago to say that it was safe to say that concern over the rights of Iraqi citizens probably wasn't driving any of this.)

Were you at all concerned when the Bill of Rights became optional at the whim of a madman and his accomplices? Is that the sort of society you want to leave your children, a place where one person can imprison anyone without charges, WITHOUT EVEN TELLING ANYONE, for as long as that one person wants them in the slam?

That's the current America. Under your beloved George Walker Bush. Helluva thing to leave your children, isn't it? Even if you like The Little Monkey, do you want the next president to have those powers, and the next and the next?

Some country that is, huh? Sort of like Iraq. I mean, where citizens can "disappear", because one leader wants them to.

(I know, I know. There are "only" two. As if being raped twice didn't count as rape. One of the provisions is that they don't have to tell anyone how many or who has disappeared. There could be 10,000. Prove there aren't!)

Some of us think that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are what made this country great. And some of you are hellbent on destroying those. Have, to a large degree, and you seem to be proud of it. Want to leave that legacy to your children, according to the post.

We have become what we despise in our enemies, and somehow some of you feel morally superior. I don't know how that one-way vision works.
