Seven years after 9/11/01, we’re a nation on our knees. Perhaps the “terrorists” didn’t bomb the crap out of us, didn’t blow up our malls or kill our children, but what they did do is make us so scared – and so gullible to the Bush/Cheney hegemony – that we took our eyes off of any truly meaningful issues.
So we sit here, with an economy in tatters, an infrastructure that is crumbling and a national consciousness that is beaten down – and still get roused by McCain and his promise of a continued war against “terror.”
But when will we realize that Bush/Cheney and their henchmen have actually conducted the war on terror AGAINST US? They’ve filled the coffers of their friends while emptying ours. They’ve let our infrastructure crumble – more quickly and certainly than any terrorist bomb could have. And they’ve left a nation cowering in the corner, fearing that their homes will be taken, that their future will be bleak and that their children will be worse off than them.
Behold, the Conservative Jihad. A holy war waged by Bush/Cheney against the American People. These are the true terrorists. This is where our outrage should be directed.
