One billion fetuses robbed

Conservatives claim they are the party of family values, fiscal responsibility, law and order and protector of the unborn.
When Ronald Reagan became president in 1981, the national debt was less than $1 trillion. When he left office, after eight years of “Republican fiscal responsibility,” the national debt had tripled to $3 trillion.
The party of “family values” has a slogan:

Family values for you.
Adultery for me.
‘Caus I’m a member of
The GOP.

The sanctimonious Henry Hyde presided over the impeachment of William Clinton. Henry Hyde had a little secret. He was an adulterer. He had a four year affair with a married mother of two. The affair destroyed the family. Bill Clinton’s affair was limited to fondling. Hyde’s affair was carnal. Clinton was impeached. Hyde begged forgiveness. His affair was “a youthful indiscretion,” he claimed. It ended when he turned 45.

Just when does
A Republican mature?
Henry Hyde was still a youth
At age forty four.

The law and order party wants streets flooded with police because they believe most Americans are criminals just waiting to steal their wallets and their contents of $10. If those same criminals become corporate executives where they are in a position to steal tens of thousands of dollars from them, Republicans believe they need no policing or monitoring. Bernie Madoff, Ken Lay, Ivan Boesky or Michael Milkin need no oversight because they are monitored by a spirit called the “invisible hand of the marketplace.”

Conservatives claim they are defenders of the unborn. Their fetus fraud is as valid as their family values, fiscal responsibility and law and order claims. The fetus is convenient because they don’t have to back up their claim with a single penny. Demand that they agree to increased taxes until every infant has adequate food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and education, and their’s will be the loudest shouts of “Kill the bastard.”
The $11 trillion Reagan-Bush debt was a robbery of fetuses, the most defenseless forms of life. With interest of $600 billion per year, the debt will be a burden on untold generations of fetuses. If we borrowed the McDonald’s claim, it would read: “over !,000,000,000 swindled.”

Regicide Taboo

George W. Bush and his administration are responsible for the murders and mutilations of millions of people, yet most Americans believe he committed no crime, and certainly should not be punished, even admonished for bad judgement.
Bush and his collaborators clearly fabricated justifications for the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Several of the reasons were blatant outright lies such as the charge that Saddam Hussein kicked out the U.N. weapons inspectors. Simple research would reveal that in 1998 the Clinton and Blair Administrations warned the inspectors to leave Iraq because the U.S. and U.K. planned massive air strikes on that nation. The inspectors left. Saddam wouldn’t allow them back in, but he did not kick then out.
An example of the manipulation of facts was the charge that Saddam had total contempt for international law since he was in violation of 17 U.N. Resolutions. How common is violation of U.N. Resolutions? Turkey was in violation of twice that many at that time and Israel was in violation of four times that many. The U.S. total was more than eight times Iraq’s violations. Furthermore, most of the violations charged against Iraq were invalid. Saddam was charged with violations that were unfounded, many relating to weapons of mass destruction and nuclear ambitions which he did not have.
Judges who served at the Nuremberg Tribunals that tried and punished Nazis after World War II said aggression was the supreme charge that could be leveled against a suspect. They said the Bush Administration’s invasion of Iraq clearly met the criteria for an act of aggression. The U.S. and Great Britain hanged dozens of Nazis on the charge of aggression. George Bush will not spend a day in jail for committing the supreme crime. No wonder the U.S. is so dysfunctional.
Why was aggression a horrible capital crime when committed by Nazis and pardonable when committed by U.S. politicians? Cognitive dissonance is the psychological term. Our animal instincts tell us that our leaders can do no wrong. Most people have a double standard and tend to go into denial when their own herd leaders commit a horrendous crime, particularly when they believe the act is protecting the herd.
Regicide, murdering the king, is revulsive instinctively to those whose minds are dominated by the amygdala, or primitive sector of the the hybrid brain. It's an indication that Americans still are not ready for democracy, justice and values.
The percentage of people who oppose punishing George W. Bush for his crimes, including the murders of more than 4,350 U.S. troops, is indicative of the number of Americans whose minds remain at the atavistic first millennium stage. That number approaches 90%,
