Now that it becomes clearer to more Americans what a criminal administration we really have, some so called conservatives are starting to try to distance themselves from the Bush crime family....I had to post this excerpt from Mike Malloy's response to a recent Paul Krugman's Op-ed peice:
Krugman goes on to write, “And if you're a former hawk who now concedes that the administration exaggerated the threat from Iraq, you're to be applauded for your open-mindedness.” Um, sorry Mr. Krugman. I’ll stick with the reality that these criminals – all of them, every single Republican, every so-called conservative, every media right-wing-nut talking head, every congressional Bush supporter, the entire lot – knew the war intel was bullshit, the economy would tank because of Bush’s tax breaks for the undeserving, the regulatory bodies carefully crafted over decades to protect Americans from the hell of predatory capitalism were to be systematically (and secretly) ripped to pieces, and that this collection of PNAC-supported lawbreakers was taking the US into one of its darkest periods of fraud, lies and incipient fascism. The truth was there. The evidence was available to anyone who did not choose willful ignorance. And, so, here we are. A nation about to implode and a fiscal and ethical rat’s nest that will take years, if not decades, from which to escape. This is Bush’s legacy. But, it is also the legacy of these now groveling neoconservatives who were so willing to assist in the destruction to begin with. To hell with them. If they now feel a need to confess, see a priest.
Well said.
