Anyone Remember When...
When it was a shock... and even seemed unprecedented, perhaps inappropriate, maybe even risky...

to say "The President Lied..."?

Fortunately, most of the world has accepted reality; so now the "Truth" about the Bush Administration's mendacity is expressed in vast numbers of articles, forums, blogs and liberal websites, with no holds barred.

Also, since our fearless leader has lost his "popularity", even the Press will occasionally venture into the realm of honesty by pointing out a Bush Deception though usually ever so carefully. Though the Internet is rife with discerning reports... Even a phrase so limited (with quotes) as this: "Bush Lied" on Google returns the better part of two million hits. :+

Of course, the point of this post was that I just had a flash of nostalgia. For just a moment, on seeing the statement "...it is vital to remember that this is an administration that has been proven to lie daily, brazenly and egregiously.", I thought to myself "wasn't that kind of statement once avoided out of respect for the Presidency?".

What was surprising is that I can only barely remember having such consideration (respect, hesitancy,...). Younger people may never know such a respect ever even existed.

The world has changed. (...in oh, so many ways; feel free to add similar observations)

Remember... Bush Always Lies... Always...

1. bush's miscues (lies, crime, malfeasance in office, etc)
are all given a pass by his base because his base is ignorant and extremely proud, way too proud to admit they were wrong and they are backing a military deserter, corporate criminal, drug addict and all around disgusting life form. They blather on about supporting the troops but our troops are dying because "christian conservatives" continue to give their unwavering support to the monster in the white house. He did not put his penis in a woman not his wife's mouth (that we know of) therefore he is a fine outstanding human being, so what if our kids are dying, rush says more die in car accidents. And no doubt the hypocrites would give him a pass if any sexual dalliances of any kind were uncovered. They do not deserve constitutional liberties.

My hate is rational.
