| Why didn't George ask Dick? |
 |
I'd like to think that when the Coup of 2006
happened, President George W. Bush did what former President Bill Clifton
did when the Democrats lost control of both the House and Senate in 1994.
Clinton called Dick Morris.
About a week or so before Christmas in 1994, when Hillary and Chelsea were
shopping in New York, Morris paid a visit to Clinton when he was alone at
the White House to explain to the former president why he lost Congress
and why he would likely lose his bid for re-election in 1996 unless he
found a way to reconnect with the people.
Later, Morris told the talking heads on TV that he had advised Clinton a
month or two before the midterm election that the Democrats were in
trouble not because of anything the GOP was doing, but because of the
things he had done—and, most important, because he had a serious
disconnect with the American people.
That happens when Presidents get too full of themselves. It happens when
they forget that when they are put in the Oval Office by the voters, they
are no longer "he." While constitutionally the President of the United
States is the official representative of the States who actually elect
him, he is also the defacto representative of "all the people" who told
the States how to cast that vote. When he takes his oath of the office,
the incoming President swears—with his hand on a Bible—to represent not
just the voters who voted for him, but all of the people—equally.
President George W. Bush failed to do that. And, when he failed, he
failed...dismally.
If he had called GOP political strategist Dick Morris for a private
meeting at the White House after the November Massacre, I would like to
think that Morris would have said this: "Mr. President, let me speak
bluntly. You screwed the American people when they trusted you to do the
right thing. Like your father, you broke your word. And, like your father,
history will remember you as a liar who sold out his country to the
transnational bankers, merchants princes and industrialists who are
stealing the world to create a totalitarian smorgasbord for the ultra
rich. The American people believed you when you signed the legislation to
pay for a 700 mile wall along our southern border. But when the people
learned you were still quietly pressuring the Republicans in the House and
Senate to enact your amnesty bill even though almost 80% of the American
people opposed it, they had enough. America repudiated you and the GOP
because of your collusion with the transnational industrialists, bankers
and merchant princes who sold out America. It is very likely that the GOP
won't gain control of both Houses of Congress again for 50 years because
of its duplicity."
I
would like to think Morris would have talked to Bush like a Dutch Uncle.
But I know that wouldn't happen because Bush accepts criticism even less
graciously than his predecessor—especially when he's wrong. Sadly, because
of that, the "date" Mr. Bush brought to both of his inaugural balls—the
American people—was left standing at the door. The president chose,
instead, to dance with the elites who filled his coffers with money to
promulgate their global agenda. (Tragically, it matters little today which
party steals the White House—and I mean "steals" quite literally since
both win by deceit. Both lie to the public to deliberately deceive the
voters. The simple, unvarnished truth is that GOP presidents represent the
financial interests of the transnational market economy bankers and
merchant princes and Democrat presidents represent the financial interests
of the transnational communists. That's a fact. I cannot speak it more
clearly—or more honestly.
Sadly, neither care about the American people—until election day. Then,
"consumer promises," tossed around like penny candy by presidential
candidates who know they will discard those promises long before the last
election yard signs are cleared from the neighborhoods of America where
every election is either won or lost.
When he was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2001, President George W. Bush
correctly observed that the small businessman was the backbone America. He
promised to enact laws to protect them and help them prosper because, the
president said, that was where the job growth in the 21st century would
come. Instead, he added to the financial woes of the American worker by
breaking that promise, too—and with it, the only hope of a prosperous
future for America's struggling working class in a shrinking job market
with shrinking wages because Americans are forced to compete with illegal
aliens for work. And the small business owner, who is now being asked to
"carry the water" for the team by creating thousands of new jobs, is
sabotaged by the dual agenda of an Administration that has repeatedly
helped foreign corporations penetrate an already severely damaged US
economy—and take even more jobs away from the American people who is
struggling to keep their heads above water with higher prices, higher
taxes and less discretionary income.
That is what was most upsetting about our recent bid on a US government
contract to provide lab sterilizers to federal labs—some in America's most
top secret facilities—and learning that even though we were the lowest US
bidder, the White House lobbied for the Israeli government subsidized
company: Tutnauer.
A $600 thousand, American taxpayer-funded US government contract was given
to Israel even though it meant, once again, that a struggling American
company was backburnered for the sake of global politics. US government
contracts should be awarded only to wholly-owned US companies with offices
only on American soil. The argument that, in a free market economy,
competition is good and that competitive bidding works to keep prices down
is just so much who-shot-John when companies in foreign countries are
subsidized by their governments to make sure they can successfully
underbid American companies on their own soil.
It is the height of stupidity for the United States government, whose sole
interest should be protecting this nation and its citizens from those who
would destroy it for personal gain, to allow foreign corporations—many of
whom are owned by historic enemies who are as determined today to destroy
the United States as they were during the Cold War. To believe that the
"former" Soviet Union, the Peoples Republic of China, Saudi Arabia,
Afghanistan, and Pakistan are our friends, is more of a stretch than
believing the Easter Bunny lays eggs. Nevertheless, the United States is
exporting its jobs to those countries. Within another decade, all of the
industrial plants that built the ships, the airplanes, the tanks, trucks,
the weapons and ammunition that supplied all of our allies around the
world and won both world wars are now owned by transnational corporations
headquartered on the soil of the nations of our former enemies. When war
strikes American soil, where will those missiles come from? And, when
those factories ratchet up to turn out the machines of war, whose armies
do you suppose will use them?
The nation without the manufacturing capacity to mobilize its troops when
its security is threatened will find itself on horseback like a medieval
army, shooting arrows at a 21st century enemy using armor-piercing
bullets, GPS-guided missiles, and the stealth technology developed by
American ingenuity during the Carter years and used successfully on the
battlefield during the first Gulf War. America's standing as a super power
will quickly erode, and using advanced US technology originally developed
by Americans in US factories, China will ratchet up the American factories
on her soil to arm its own million-man army, assuming the role of global
military major domo.
In their zeal to merge America into a borderless utopian world,
politicians on both sides of the aisle—their pockets bulging with K Street
money—sold out the American people as the princes of banking and industry
attempt to recast the nature of "democracy." Bittersweet as it is, that is
the reality of the world in which we live. The working class has once
again been relegated to the status of human chattel or, as the World Bank
classifies us, as human capital—the most important asset to the overlords
of industry and the merchant princes.
If the president were to give his ear to a political adviser other than
Karl Rove—whose advise has not been too sage lately—and if that adviser
was former Republican strategist Dick Morris, what would Dick say? He
would tell Bush that Election of 2006 was more than a repudiation of
Republicans who acted like tax and spend Democrats. And, the election was
more than just a repudiation of a president who tarnished the mantle of
the Reagan legacy he was asked to carry. It was a repudiation of globalism;
a repudiation of insecure borders, of amnesty for illegal aliens; and it
was a repudiation of an Administration that sold it's soul for 30 pieces
of silver. That is the reason the voters could not overlook the corruption
by Republicans when they ignored even worse corruption by Democrats.
Conservatives are supposed to be the good guys. |
