I would contend at this moment that our president is out to destroy us...or piss us off, whichever comes first. A few days ago he used the rarely utilized clause of "recess appointment" to appoint John Bolton to the status of U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Practically speaking, he waited until congress was unable to vote to install a dipshit he wanted in office. There was not and would never be enough votes to install Bolton so Bush made a power grab and installed him while congress wasn't looking. Why does this apply to manifest destiny? Read on...
Bolton has actually appeared on video tape touting the message that the U.N. should bow to the will of the the United States and that it exists solely for the purpose of carrying out our wishes. Sure...this is the message we should be sending out to the world's leader's while our worldwide popularity is swirling the bowl like a two-flush corn log. Bush claimed he appointed him because we desperately needed to fill the position since it's a time of war. Ok...but there's a problem there. Sure, we're at war. But when the question of war came up we COMPLETELY disregarded the U.N. and did whatever the fuck we felt like. Why is it so important to appoint this twat? So he can wave the finger at the U.N. again? Indeed...'cause that's what'll get the world on our side again.
Allow me to use an analogy for a moment. Bush is treating us more like dogs than cats. As smart as people like to believe dogs are, they're not. If you kick a dog, chances are that within hours...a day max...he'll come back like nothing ever happened. Cats, however, are more like people. Kick a cat, and it'll stay the fuck away from you for a while. Apparently we're all acting like absurd morons since this fuck is still in office. I don't like being spoken to like I'm an idiot (when the president's the one with the DUI arrest, not me), do you?
