A Friendly Reminder

In case you've forgotten, for about 3 more months, George W. Bush is still our president.

And he's still a cocksucker.

Bush launches last-minute deregulation push

The White House is working to enact a wide array of federal regulations, many of which would weaken government rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment, before President Bush leaves office in January.

The new rules would be among the most controversial deregulatory steps of the Bush era and could be difficult for his successor to undo. Some would ease or lift constraints on private industry, including power plants, mines and farms.

More shit and crap that Bush is attempting to shove down our throats.

Yes, because that's EXACTLY what the public has been clamoring for....more tainted products from China, more MTBE in our drinking water, more airborne particulates from our power plants, and more fucking global warming. Boy, when Bush says he doesn't look at the polls, I almost believe him. Until I remember that he's an evil sadist that does look at polls and does the opposite because he is 1) evil and 2) a sadist.

And to all those Bush apologists who would say "he's a lame duck, Obama will reverse course with a stroke of a pen", here's to you dipshits.....

Once such rules take effect, they typically can be undone only through a laborious new regulatory proceeding, including lengthy periods of public comment, drafting and mandated reanalysis.

So, in addition to ending the war in Iraq, implementing new strategies in Afganistan, providing health care for all, re-regulating Wall Street, fixing the financial mess, restoring our standing in the world, closing Gitmo, combating global warming, repairing our infrastructure, creating a green economy, funding technologies that will allow us to lead in alternative energy, he'll also have to undo all the dictatorial shit that Bush has employed for eight fucking years. And Bush is just adding to the pile that is already overloaded with his scrapping of the 4th amendment, precedence-creating signing statements, administrative rules, executive fiats, etc.

THIS is why everyone hates Bush. Not just because he's a lying asshole. Its because he's a fascist, so sayeth my homey FDR.

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
