compassionate conservatism
as many people, net denizens and real lifers alike have pointed out, we finally know the source of the president's "compassionate" conservatism.
on 9/5, dubya's parents were interviewed on NPR's marketplace (editor and publisher has her quotes here). obviously disconnected from real life in the states, barbara bush finally confirms the source of her son's compassion.
except, they didnt have cake, bread, water, or pampers. ill let the nuanced racism slide, because its not "its sort of scary those niggers want to stay here," although its damned close. the last quote is inexcusable. over 2/3rds of new orleans was black (the tenses get confused... are they still from nola?) and a shocking 30% lived below the poverty line. this means a family of four did not earn more than 16,700 dollars a year, before taxes. about 321 dollars a week income, before taxes.
look here. im not a bleeding heart liberal, i dont feel responsible for hauling failing lives out of the gutter. unless i or my country bears responsibility for their lives being in the gutter. almost a third of that city did not have enough money to feed, clothe, and house themselves in a fitting fashion. to insinuate that a hurricane is the solution to basic problems of structural poverty is asinine and absurd. french nobility lost their heads due to sentiments like this. and trust me, the bush family is as close as it gets to nobility in america - that should be apparent. christ, dubya's grandfather did business with the nazis until FDR activated the "trading with the enemy act." he received 1.5 million dollars in the 40s for one share of UBC (one of his interests siezed by the feds)
anyway, im getting far off the point. my point is that america bears responsibility for americans that live in poverty. waiting for a natural disaster to wipe their ghettoes out is not moral, ethical or humane. take the fight to the ghetto, and educate the poor. education has always been, and will always be the way out of poverty - you start with basic literacy, and encourage a love of learning, and the rest will work itself out.
dont get me wrong - there will always be poor. men and women are created with equal human and civil rights. however, all sentient beings are created unequal. the best society provides each with equal opportunity to float at his own level. i dont want to live in a society where we purposefully encourage poverty as a way for the elite-rich to grow even more wealthy. i want a society where everyone is granted equal opportunity to make what they can of their lives.
in summation, off with that cunt's head. she is a cunt of the highest order. 200 years ago, heads rolled for this kind of depraved indifference and condescension. if your god is real, barbara bush, im sure lucifer has contracted for a special part of hell for you and your kin.
in addition, the first lady has come out to defend her husband against kanye west's accusation that the president "doesnt care about black people." here's her response from cnn.com:
sorry kanye, but you got it wrong. bush doesnt care about any americans, except his big business interests, and the major campaign contributors. take it all the way, the whole way to truth, and ill have a lot more respect for you.

"Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston."let them eat cake.
Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

"I think all of those remarks were disgusting, to be perfectly frank because, of course, President Bush cares about everyone in our country, and I know that ... I mean I am the person who lives with him. I know what he is like, and I know what he thinks, and I know how he cares about people."so i have but one pertinent, pseudo rhetorical, question to ask: would you lie to cover for him? i think you would... look what hillary did for bill. maybe its all the xanax, laura?
