Bush The Decider, Fear, and a Whip-or-will's Ass

Back in the dark days of the Soviet Union, virtually every government agency and group had a political officer who oversaw all the activities of those groups and agencies to make absolutely sure they were following the dictates of their leader to the letter. That is how the Premier was able to control all (or at least most) of the actions of “his” government, truly making him “The Decider” of everything.
So…what would you think if a U.S. President were to do the same, placing political appointees into the various government agencies to be “Policy Officers” who would make sure that The President’s will is executed to the letter? Would that worry you at all?Doesn’t this sound an awful lot like what the Soviets did? Well it has happened. Bush signed an executive order a few days ago granting himself the power to do this.

I knew I guy back when I was in college. He was a tall and lanky redhead named Wilbur. Wilbur had a God given gift…he possessed a bull shit detector, and when that little light when off in his head and he knew you were feeding him a line, he would always interrupt you by saying, “Your lips move like a whip-or-will’s ass in a windstorm!”
Every time Bush opens his mouth, the windstorm is deafening. Whenever he puts pen to paper, the intent is always at least damaging, and oft-times evil. I still do not understand why working people voted for this clown for a second term? Yeah, actually I do. As a nation, we slide further and further into the abyss of fear every day, and until we pull ourselves out, we will never take our Nation back.
