opulence0808's journal
Sorry to tell you, but even without reading/viewing, whatever...those books, I'd still sooner believe Moore than this guy.
Why?
Because I've seen evidence supporting Moore's views. I've seen the results of Bushes actions, the reactions to them, not just in the US or the middle eastern region, but in the entire world. And with the current American administration, I fear for all of us. Not just people in the US, but people here in Europe, anywhere in the world.
I fear for humanity, that so many people still let themselves be guided by fear and hate. I fear for humanity that so many people refuse to look at the evidence and plain out tell Bush they disagree with him.
I fear for the world that even people smart enough to realize what an idiot that Bush is, would still proudly state they'd vote for him.
I fear that people would sooner give up their rights, their freedom than admit that their government made a mistake. That they made a mistake by voting for someone that lets himself be guided, not by intelligence, not by facts, but by misguided religion that should have nothing at all to do with running a country.
Cause honestly, having overlooked all the evidence, from American websites as well as Belgian newspapers, I haven't seen a single proven positive thing about Bush, where as even though I don't agree with Kerry about everything, he at least makes sense. (something that Bush doesn't do at all, plus, Bush, not the kind of 'man' I'd ever want to even let near the nuclear launchcodes.)
In all honesty, I see Bush doing many of the same things that he accuses Sadam off (think I even saw a post somewhere once proving this, wish I could show it to you, now where did I leave that link again*grumble*).
Honestly, is there even one positive thing that Bush has done for the USA? Cause even though I've looked, I can't find any.
I really wish that Bush was still just the boring American president I didn't give a damn about four years ago. I wish that he'd have been just another background figure that I wouldn't care about one way or another. Just yet another international politician.
Thing is, he isn't. He's proven too much of a menace to the world at large to ignore him and I can't possibly see that as a good thing.
As much as Bush likes to claim a war against al-Qaida, he's actually been their most successfull recruiter in the past few years. And that is NOT a good thing.
Maybe it's just me, but Belgian's constitutional monarchy is looking better and better with every day. Our king has little or nothing really to say. He's a symbol more than a ruler. He stands for our country, represents us, but when it comes down to it, he has no real controll.
The person really in charge is the prime minister and he doesn't have half the power over Belgium that your president does. And it seems right that way.
We have someone to unite Belgium, someone behind whom we can stand if necessery, but he couldn't run the country into the ground even if he wanted to.
I may be a socialist(sorta on most points*g*) but that doesn't stop me from being a monarchist, I'll support koning Albert II, I support prins Filip and his wife Mathilde, their little girl(our future queen), their entire family if I have to. Cause the more I see of the mess that the American president makes of it, the more I'll fight to keep our current king on his throne (figuratively, if not literally*g*).

Date: 2004-10-03 04:41 pm (UTC)Of course. Why bother reading an alternative viewpoint when you've already made up your mind?
I fear for the world that even people smart enough to realize what an idiot that Bush is, would still proudly state they'd vote for him.
Did it occur to you that some of these smart people might not think he's an idiot?
I fear that people would sooner give up their rights, their freedom than admit that their government made a mistake. That they made a mistake by voting for someone that lets himself be guided, not by intelligence, not by facts, but by misguided religion that should have nothing at all to do with running a country.
Again, did it occur to you that the reason they are not going to "admit their government/they made a mistake, is because they don't think they *did*?
And the "misguided religion" statement? Arrogant much? For all of the noise one hears about religious tolerance, people sure do like to pick and choose which religions they feel deserve tolerance. I could get into a whole discussion about whether or not one's moral view should influence public policy, because, you know, ALL laws have SOME sort of moral basis, but that's a couple of paragraphs worth, if not more, so I'll let that one go.
Meanwhile, here are some links for you.

Admittedly, those are the best examples, or the most important things that have happened in the last four years; I'm merely quoting them to say if you can't find any positive acheivements over the entire last four years, you CAN'T have been looking that hard.

But I would never tollerate a politician that felt he had to pull God in a discussion.
Or who'd feel that the state had anything to do with who had the right to marry and who didn't, based on his own religious beliefs.
I'll read those links you gave me and react to them in the morning when it isn't close to two at night, k

Date: 2004-10-04 06:07 am (UTC)I went to the sites left in a previous comment. I wasn't impressed. Bush's desire to bring homosexuals into the Republican fold only lasted as long as it took to get their votes. The minute something came along that was important to them, he showed who he really cared about, whose vote he considered more important. Christian Conservatives. The other two sites, small potatoes. Just like Bush.
Bush and the Republicans have gutted regulations protecting American workers and the environment, have made the rich richer and the poor poorer, have alienated allies and friends, and have run up the national debt. His 'No child left behind' educational policy is just one more smoke-screen with no teeth to back it up, without the tremendous additional financing it will take to make it work. Fewer people have quality health care, if they have health care at all. Little effort has been made to provide back up to states coping with the tremendous numbers of men and women who lost their jobs over the last four years. I can go on and on but I will probably have a stroke if I keep on ranting.
We're not all idiots. And we're trying to take our country back. Wish us luck.

gives you back loads of BELGIAN HUGGLES and Veurnse Babbelutten , Brusselse Waffels and other things that make this country good to life in, even with the North/South , Flanders vs Wallonië with a mix of Brussels Sprouts - We are such a little country with an amount of politicians twice as big.
Only one thing scares me when I see 'the big rulers' like Mr. Bush - that they want to control the world and not only their country -
