Welcome to My World

On the Sunday morning political shows this week, the conservative pundits
were tripping over themselves to remedy the plight of their party's stand on
the Schiavo situation. I was watching with my Republican buddy who
eventually said, "They're all lying and misrepresenting the facts to try to
appear 'right.' They're making assumptions about things they don't know
anything about and predictions about what they think might happen and
claiming they are facts!"

My immediate response: "Where have you been the last five years?"

In an ironic moment, when these same pundits were shown polls that show
President Bush's "approval" rating dipping lower than his IQ, they all
chalked it up to Americans being concerned about gas and energy prices.
True, that's a factor, but let's be clear -- this last week Bush tried to
play a hero but ended up revealing his inherent cronyism and hypocrisy. My
buddy and I both agreed on that analysis.

So, even though there is little to take solace in with regard to this tragic
situation -- and how Congress and President Bush made it worse -- perhaps
Terri Schiavo's legacy will be to expose this administration's corruptness
as well as the conservative faction's radical urges and the dangers they
present to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This situation
certainly sheds light -- revealing much about the type of control-freak,
killjoy fascists this faction and administration truly are.
