Open ZOT to President George W. Bush

http://www.openlettertothepresident.org/ ^

[Steel Wolf]

Alright, I've read the article. It is a fancy way of saying 'This is Bush's fault', disguised as an economic critique. If DNC talking points were a man, it would be a man using the words of these professors to cover himself, and dress himself in drag to pass as something he's not.

In this case, what this is 'not' is good economic advice. It's a partisan knot of half truths and bitterness. While I would agree that Bush allows far more spending than he should, we all know that this 'wealthiest 1% getting all the tax cuts' routine is a myth, and that repealing the tax cuts is the wrong idea. If anything, I'd advocate more spending cuts and more tax cuts.

I wouldn't say that near any of these esteemed professors, of course. The shock might be too much for them. ;-)

Again. Outstanding!!!

[EaglesUpForever]

Next they will blame him for the fact that "more planes have flown into the WTC than at any time in history" and all other results of Clinton's legacy. Sad that Academics don't understand cause and effect; nothing is instantaneous, Bush inherited quite a mess from Clinton.

Thanks! I've been wanting to use that pic ever since I saw it.

The story behind the pic is on this thread.

[bad company]

so many names dropped, so little time here.

[bad company]

All those names and not one that has to turn a profit to keep their job amongst them. Says it all I think.

[Choose Ye This Day]

What about the war?



“This incompetent President will be the ruin of us all, and he must be impeached or soundly defeated at the polls. I cannot even enumerate all he has done to make our nation less stable, less safe, and less free.

“He is nothing but an uninspired backwater dolt, a simple-minded baboon who failed at most everything he tried before his presidency, and seems destined to fail at everything while in office. I do not even believe he is qualified to be president, and half of our country felt the same way in the last election, and do not even consider him their president.

“He’s a partisan ideologue that has divided our country with his polarizing rhetoric. He sees everything in terms of black and white, right and wrong.

“He doesn’t even read the newspapers, showing an alarming lack of intellectual curiosity. Frighteningly, he believes that he has been led by some higher power to make decisions.

“He rushed us into war, rather than let diplomacy take its course. He has conducted a bloody, tragic war, without the consent of Congress, and it was his desire to do so from very early in his presidency.

“He is mismanaging this war, and through his gross incompetence our boys are dying senseless deaths. That is not surprising, as this President has no real combat experience, and has never led men into battle under fire. He has no business leading our soldiers in a time of war. Our troops are not properly equipped, trained or funded. Even some of our highest-ranking military leaders question this President’s prosecution of the war.

“Troops under the command of this Republican warmonger have committed horrendous and unspeakable acts of violence and atrocities, even against civilian settlements. There have also been reports of captured enemy combatants being abused. This clearly stems from a lack of disciplined and principled moral leadership in the White House. This administration should be made to bear responsibility for the brutality of these soldiers. Yet this President shows no urgency in removing incompetent subordinates, no matter how egregious their errors. This shows a tragic failure of leadership.

“This would-be dictator has trampled upon the rights and civil liberties of our citizens—censoring communications and shutting down anyone who opposes him and his warmongering.

“He is only concerned with the economic interests of his like-minded allies and associates. Many of his closest supporters are nothing more than war profiteers who would like nothing more than to see the war stretch on for a long time.

“Perhaps worst of all, this president has lied to his constituents about his motive in waging this unnecessary war. At the very least, he misled us, because the reason he now declares as the motive behind the war has changed dramatically since the war began. Many who initially supported the war feel betrayed. Men are spilling their blood for a lie.

“It is time to remove this ignorant man from office before he is the ruin of us all.”

Signed,

A Disgusted Democrat

[kingu]

I can't help but think, seeing that list, that there are some very overpayed professors out there.

[durasell]

Still good schools -- with some liberal professors. I wouldn't rule out Harvard for the kids if they can get in and you can afford it.

[shield]

Were not left leaning one little bit here at FR. This is not a fair and balanced place. We are not interested in the left's bullsh*t.

This sounds exactly like the days Reagan was in office. You liberal loons just really don't get it....even after Reagan put this country on what clintoon got to live off of during his presidency.
