 Words of Mass Deception - 2005.Jan.14 - 20:47PST   previous rant   next rant  

All your Truth are belong to us.

On Wednesday, the White House officially acknowledged that the search for Weapons of Mass DestructionTM has ended. 

The result: nothing

The cost:
     $149,917,128,178 dollars (U.S.),
     1521 Coalition® Troops,
     15,000 Iraqi civilians,
     and the standing of the United States on the world stage. 

No, the weapons weren't "smuggled out" just before we invaded.  According to the government's own report, Saddam hadn't possessed any WMDsTM since the mid-1990's. 

I can just hear some of you...
     "But we freed the Iraqi people and overthrew an evil dictator!" 
     "We had to stop Saddam before he attacked us!" 
     "After 9/11 we had to do something!" 

You know what?  Fuck you. 

Fuck you and your willingness to go along with the mindless justifications for this utterly unjustifiable war.  You make me sick.  The blood of every dead man, woman and child - civilian, soldier or otherwise - is on your hands

"Out, damned spot!  out, I say!"
Macbeth Act 5, Scene 1

Scrub away, but you'll never be clean.

To me, your words are just as harsh as "Arabs multiply like worms." The only difference is you don't label the group of people you are addressing. I personally do not believe that Iraq was a danger to the U.S., and I don't like Bush either. I believe he is a lying spoiled brat that took us into this war under very false pretenses. However, just because we can't find something, doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. They also haven't caught Bin Laden.

If you choose to continue to believe the proven lies of the administration, then you are being a fool.  You are smarter than that - wake up.  Yes my words are harsh, I won't deny that.  But unlike the racist comments that you have made in your previous comments, I don't choose to despise people just because of their religion or the color of their skin.  That is *wrong* and you know it.  Yes, I know who you really are and all of this saddens me deeply. 

My words are aimed at people who choose their path and actions; people whose conscious decisions are making the world a darker and more dangerous place for everyone: Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindi, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist, White, Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, WHATEVER.  There is a HUGE difference between hating people because of their actions and hating people just because of who they are.  We are born innocent, we earn our guilt. 

As for your statement about Bin Laden: I'm sorry, but you've committed a "False Analogy" fallacy with that particular argument.

I do not know what are truths and what are lies from the administration. I do not believe everything I hear. I am more ignorant about these things that I'd like to admit. However, when you say "fuck you" to the people who continue to believe the administration's justifications it makes we wonder if you are against "ignorant" people, people who have many many good qualities about them despite thier lack of knowledge. More education and exposure to what is the TRUTH without any slant or pre-judgement might be what the masses need. Unfortunately, most of us, myself included, are either not inclined or are too lazy to find this truth on our own.

okay, now i've got something to say to voyeurette, and i'm fairly sure that it'll be confusing for the mentally young. so, kids. stop reading right about here.

okay, now for the meat of the large nasty political commentary-esque sandwich. in your first comment, voyeurette, you state that he does not label who he addresses. and then, in your second comment, you speak abut how he was talking about "ignorant" people. make up your mind, love. and prior to that sentence, in the first comment, you seem to be appauled at how harsh he was. of course he was being harsh. ignorant people are the lifeblood of the gargantuan monster that is our political administration, and if i interpret him right, he is most certainly against our government. in your second post, when you begin to babble on about how ignorant people have so many "good qualities" and etc. it does not MATTER if they have good qualities or a nice mind or even, if i may estimate your mental shallowness, a nice body, because none of that will redeem them. their ignorance has let them fund and even outright, blatantly support the administration that has assisted in the democratic shortcoming that is the middle east. and please, don't call me harsh, because then i'm just going to figure that you're a all-good christian woman with a heart large enough for everyone of your religion but idiotic enough to pity everyone else. but then again, who knows.

and, in ending, i must say..the world is growing worse each day.

<3, taylor.

Wow. Taylor... good guess. But in fact, I'm Jewish. Was once Mormon, then agnostic. Might still be considered agnostic. But I do have a big heart. And I am admittingly ignorant in many subjects, politics and world news included. I do not learn unless I ask questions, state my opinons and take into consideration the opinons of others. If I frustrate you too much, ignore me. If you would like to teach me, do so.
