I encountered an enlightening site: wage-slave.org which has a Scorecard of Evil, tracking the Bush regime’s ever-growing list of outrages from day one in the dubious presidency of Dubya. Consider the following actions of the Bush regime: backing out of the Kyoto Protocol on Global Warming; the Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty; the International Germ Warfare Treaty Protocol; and literally threatening an assault on the International Criminal Court. Manufacturing a monstrous tax cut for the rich while raiding Social Security and sending the nation into debt. Undermining long-accepted environmental programs like the Superfund for cleaning up toxic waste dumped by corporations; wetlands protection; or the Clean Air Act. Refusing to cut arsenic levels in drinking water. De-funding population control programs and promoting an energy plan written by energy corporations. Moving from policies of international deterrence to pre-emption and suggesting the first use of nuclear weapons. Demanding changes of leadership in sovereign nations and territories. Introducing legislation that undermines the U.S. Constitution such as the so-called USA Patriot Act and restricting the Freedom of Information Act as well as overturning the Presidential Records Act. Withholding 5.1 million in funds earmarked for first-responders during 9\/11 (especially disgusting after all those self-serving photo-ops and patriotic speeches). Had enough? The list goes on. *courtesy of D.O. (on DC site)
