You got Stu’ed…
On November 2, Stu Savory posted an interesting interview with a bushwhacker, Luke de Selm. Luke blogs at Apathetic Nation.
Stu’s interview with Luke turns up opinions like,
President Bush, in his 5 year tenure in the White
House, has shown himself to be self-centered,
arrogant, spiteful, ignorant, a liar and a fool. In
his initial Presidential Campaign, he made statements
like "America is not in the nation-building business"
and "As President, I will be a uniter, not a divider."
He lied.
In an interesting twist, this turns into a two way interview, for on November 7 at Apathetic Nation, Luke interviews Stu, who offers these observations, among others:
The Bush administration went
to war based on (WMD) lies. It started and continues to wage an illegal
war of aggression in Iraq. It condones, justifies and regularly uses torture,
which went out in the dark ages. It jails people without trial, refuses them
lawyers and disregards the Geneva convention daily.
Your country is drifting into neo-fascism under the Bush junta.
Esquivalience in the Oval Office.
Thanks to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice, the US is now the world’s nukulah
bully
Trigger-happy warmonger cowboys want to use fougade nukes preemptively;
that scares me and many others too.
Christian fundamentalists come daily closer to running the US as
an ordurous theocracy. Dubya suppresses science which doesn’t fit his
religious beliefs. Birth control and abortion (women’s rights) are
being suppressed. Neofascism and stratocracy are rife.
Corporatism, the ugly face of capitalism, is rife too; and the little
guys are losing out all the time, as hurricane Katrina so ably showed us.
We Europeans are outraged by this. My blog is inter alia my way of
expressing this outrage, hence am I a Bushwhacker™.
