Where to begin? The facts speak for themselves. No president-ever-has done more to inflame and divide the Nation's citizens and alienate its allies; broaden the disparity between rich and poor; despoil the environment; trample on the Constitution; disdain Science; publicly promote religion; gut Education; and burden the Nation with soon-to-be trillion dollar debt that, if left unchecked, will ruin the average man and woman's standard of living for generations to come and reduce our standing in the world from a superpower to a has-been. Oh, and he started a "dubyious" war, whose rationales have been changed more often than a newborn's Pampers. Not bad for three plus years in office.
No administration-ever-has raised hypocrisy and outright lying to the level of an art form as has Bush and his cronies. The fraud has reached Orwellian proportions: black is white and white is black and gray doesn't exist; bait-and-switch and deception have become Republican parlor games; manipulation of the facts and sleight of mind gull a mouth-breathing press so efficaciously that even David Blaine sits up in amazement. His politics is a direct reflection of his neo-Calvinist persona: Us and Them; Privileged and everyone else. Either you're with us or against us. In his world-view, life is a zero-sum game and your "contribution" is measured by the dollars you've accumulated-in Dubya's case, handed to him-and where greed is not merely countenanced, but revered. His is a world where whoever dies with the most money is the one who wins. G. W. Bush is a man without honor, ignorant of life's complexities, and whose only tool is the hammer of the Big Lie.
To say that he is a cynic is to give Dubya too much credit. Cynicism implies a thought process in which opposing ideas and outcomes are weighed one against the other and the philosophical inference drawn from this calculus is that the world is headed to hell in a handcart. Dubya has neither the means nor the inclination to arrive at reasoned conclusions. He is a Believer. He knows that he is right because he knows that he is right, and that saying so makes it so. It is primitive, but, for far too many people, persuasive. Never having bothered to learn to think critically, Dubya is himself easily manipulated, and this is where his tenure in office becomes truly scary. He is merely the face and the pitchman for a gradually evolving and well-funded, but a dare-not-speak-its-name, movement in this country toward Fascism. Conspiracy theory? Was Hilary Clinton deluded when she attributed the assaults on her and her husband to a "vast right-wing conspiracy"? In fact, the identities and beliefs of these individuals and their families are widely known, so much so that they hardly deserve the appellation "conspirators." These monied entities couldn't be more thrilled than to have this puppet with the elongated proboscis in the Oval Office. This is the "Nation" that G. W. Bush represents, and his performance has far exceeded their wildest dreams.
When it comes to sheer chutzpah and brazen partisan goose-stepping, Dubya beats Reagan hands down. If there is such a thing as "Evil," which the President, having been advised by the Big Guy Himself, assures us there is, then every one of us has reason to tremble in fear: our fate is in Their hands.
