It's Time For Them To Go 

The scary thing about Bush is that he makes destruction and its 
collateral damage look so innocent -- so, well -- Godly. Unimpeded 
by empathy, he is able to combine an obsession for violence with a 
romantic and religious view of the happiness that only violence 
will bring.

06/15/03: (Information Clearing House) It is time. It's time for George 
W. Bush -- the clandestine skull and bonesman who loves to operate in 
the shadows -- and his crazed gang of motley warmongers to go. It's time 
for this hysterical and sustained madness to stop. How many skulls 
and bones of the innocent are going to have to pile up before the 
American people shake free of the evil spell cast across this land?  
How many bodies will it take before we stand up and shout "Enough!" 
at the top of our lungs?  

(snip snip snip)

The scary thing about Bush is that he makes destruction and its 
collateral damage look so innocent -- so, well -- Godly. Unimpeded 
by empathy, he is able to combine an obsession for violence with a 
romantic and religious view of the happiness that only violence will 
bring. He is a man on a mission spelled out in the Old Testament by 
God Himself, and meticulously carried to fruition by Bush just two 
months ago... 


"For the Lord will send a mighty army against you; like a mighty 
hailstorm he will burst upon you and dash you to the ground. The 
Lord has spoken. There are consequences that result from disobedience.  
The high walls of Moab will be demolished and brought to dust and 
another of Israel's many enemies will be vanquished. What a day of 
rejoicing! When the haughty city's walls come tumbling down, its 
leaders destroyed, and its resources presented to the poor and needy 
for their use..."


Bush casually destroys with mindless cruelty literally everything he 
touches. In an interview at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas, for his 
book, "Bush at War," the Washington Post's Bob Woodward wrote that 
Bush told him shortly after the tragedy of 9-11 -- "I will seize the 
opportunity to achieve big goals," and -- "We will export death and 
violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of this great 
country and rid the world of evil..."  

Think about that for a minute. Then ask yourself what kind of spell 
a journalist of Woodward's stature would have to be under to jot down 
these mad ravings like an obedient little stenographer. Why did 
Woodward not leap up -- run screaming from "Prairie Chapel" -- not 
daring to look back for fear that something would be gaining on him?

Bernie says the media has learned a little trick -- that the American 
people will believe what they are told by the media to believe. It must 
be true, because like George Orwell said, "All happenings are in the 
mind -- people believe what you put in their minds." 

Just look at us. What a sorry lot. Americans have been smoked out 
with one dire warning after another of "gathering storms of evil" and 
"massive and sudden horror." Bush has got us on the run. With nobody 
chasing us, and with knees hitting our chins, we've scurried in all 
directions since 9- 11. And, boy, have we been brought to justice!  
With no trouble at all we've allowed ourselves to be rounded up and 
put firmly under the heel of the department of justice...

They went massive. They swept us all up -- things related and not. 
Especially the Congress. When I look at our legislators scrambling 
over each other for photo-op positions on the steps of the House of 
Representatives -- lapels studded with flags, fists clenched around 
flags, bodies wrapped in flags -- an amazing thing happens. As their 
patriotic, belicose voices soar in a delirious "God Bless America," 
it comes to my ear with the searing truth of a Shriekback song.

                         We are blind
                       We hear nothing
                       We know nothing
                 So we can live without blame  

Congress is useless. The Democratic leadership is worse than useless. 
So who will save us? Who will break this cycle of destruction?  We 
know that the assault on Iraq was a warning, not only to Bush's "axis 
of evil," but to the entire world, because, like he says -- there are 
"consequences" for disobedience. The savagery and violence unleashed 
in Iraq is just the beginning of a long hellish nightmare. 

We no longer have an excuse for remaining silent.  It is time for us 
to stop him. There is no one else. They have come for all the others. 
Those of us who remain must stand up and say No More Killing. 
Enough is Enough. 

Bernie's right. We must tell them -- like they say down in Texas on 
Death Row -- "It is time. It's time for you to go..."
