Say Anything Blog

For a couple of years after I first heard the phrase “Bush Derangement Syndrome” I gave it a sort of brief passing attention. I partially dismissed it as just another political slogan, a comeback for critics on the other side of aisle.

Well, as they say in the NFL, upon further review……I have to say that the syndrome (BDS for the sake of brevity) really exists and isn’t just a catch phrase. Sadly, it really exists.

We all know how the truther crowd has been screeching that Bush blew up the towers since shortly after 9/11. They don’t quit, either. They will espouse their views at every opportunity and will bravely plow forward with their theories in the face of facts, expert witnesses, and common sense.

The sheer stupidity of their idiotic theory in itself is mind boggling. An operation of that magnitude would require several hundred associate monsters to pull off. Does anyone out there honestly think that that many people could keep that kind of secret for more than an extended lunch hour? And – just where would anyone find that many Americans willing to kill that many other Americans, Maniacs ‘R’ Us? Evidently the voices in the truther’s heads are the ones they listen to.

The recent bridge collapse is also Bush’s fault. It took about a day for the BDS afflicted crowd to start circulating the opinion that it was the federal government who had neglected the bridge and that was because Bush had cut taxes. I even saw a political cartoon showing the collapsed bridge in the background and a sign in the foreground that said, “Your Tax Cuts At Work.”

Just today another BDS maniac named “Gypsy Taubs” has written on a web site called Politics From The Heart that she thinks the Bay Bridge (I’m assuming she means the San Francisco Bay Bridge) has been targeted by Bush to be blown up because it was closed for four days, ostensibly for “repairs”. She thinks the whole thing is suspicious and that Bush must be up to something. Four days for bridge repairs? Hmmmmm….

This past weekend Bush was in Iraq, which surprised everyone. When news footage of his visit to the troops surfaced one enraged political blogger, BDS syndrome in full eruption, asked how he could have the audacity to smile while he was there. To which I would reply with a question of my own: What was he supposed to do, go around snarling like Ebenezer Scrooge and whacking the troops with his cane?

The hatred of the far left for Bush is so intense that it clearly seems to interfere with whatever ability they have to think rationally. As one person recently put it: If the man were to discover the cure for cancer they would find a reason to hate him for it.

They also seem to think that he has somehow taken away personal rights and freedoms in his quest for world domination, and they compare him with Hitler on a regular basis. Somebody should pat them on their pointy heads and whisper in their ear that there will be an election in just a few months and Bush, like every other president before him, will pass the torch to whoever gets elected after him. He is not going to assume the mantle of dictator. He’s going away. Their biggest problem will be who to hate after he’s gone.

There, there…..the scary man is going away in just a few months. Hush now. Shhhhhh…..
