An open letter to President Bush (Al Gore, middle east, health care system, Obama)

[golfgod]

This letter started with me, I took the reiteration of the same letter posted here by roysoldboy that has been floating around the internet and changed the name and the wording of some statements. Let's see how the right reacts to seeing this side of GWB.

Houston TX, January 2001.

Dear President Bush;

You are the twelfth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do know that your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle was paid for by your grandfather's collaboration with Nazis and their sypathizers.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in REAL America and culturally you are not a REAL American.

You scare me because the only companies you ever "ran", you ran into the ground and bailed out of with money because of shady and insider deals.

You scare me because you have never had military experience.Yes I know that you consider getting into a "sorry we're full" ANG unit, then missing flight pysicals due to your coke habit, and spending the last year of your committment helping a friend of Daddy's run for Senate count. But they most of us served in a "different military". Thus you don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with neocons who constantly blame working class Americans for the troubles in our country and a (possibly pyschotic) "close friend and confidant" Dick Cheney who if he would see a shrink would be diagnosed as a "classical paranoid personality type".

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame working class Americans crowd, and constantly trumpet this to "the haves, and the have mores". Or as you refer to them, "my base".

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with one where everyone just "goes to the emergency room".

You scare me because you seem to believe that we can actually "drill baby drill" ourselves out of our energy dependence on middle east dictators who will, one day bomb 2 of our key cities and kill 2000 or so of our citizens.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the perhaps 10th highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do. While continuing to spread the canard about Al Gore saying he invented the internet.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the New York Times, Washington Post and others who offer opposing views.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Because he's not in jail.

Yet.

We can always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Lol

great thread

Interesting. When someone goes after President Obama for something, they're told "you lost" and "get over it". But people on the same side continue to attack a former President... To those people, I say:

You won. Get over it.

Where is ROB. He needs to read this letter.

This is just as worthy of this response as the other thread.

I knew that Bush Derangement Syndrome would remain alive and well even though the man is no longer in power.

Did you forget to renew your prozac? You do realize that President Hopey McChange is in the White House now and that he will make all the world's problems go away, don't you?

How about instead of criticizing an ex-President, you start doing the right thing and calling out a current President on his Socialist policies.

Some people can't let go of the past.
