See A Pattern?
Gee whiz, it seems that various long term malevolent plots are coming to light. Although most have been surreptitiously created, we are beginning to put the pieces together, so that we can see the outlines more clearly. I thought I would take the opportunity to list just a few, in case you haven't been paying attention, and because I had a good metaphorophoto.
Let's see, there's the plot to replace federal prosecutors who were prosecuting Republican crimes, and neglecting trumped up voter fraud cases, so that voter identification will be required at the polls, and poor people, who usually vote for Democrats and are most unlikely to have photo identification, will be disenfranchised.
There's the plot to institute something like the British Official Secrets Act right here in the USofA, which would serve to silence what's left of the press officially.
How about the small plot to cover up the circumstances of Pat Tillman's death?
Or the plot to infuse our beef with antibiotics for the convenience of agribusiness?
Of course there's the plot to systematically siphon money to Republican contributors by awarding no bid government contracts to contributors in Iraq and New Orleans
Or consider the plot to hold our troops hostage so that the President can continue to the needless slaughter, and keep those contracts coming.
How about the plot to establish a private army that serves without oversight, not to mention all the extraordinary renditons, detainment camps and abysmal places like Guantanamo that are not so secret?
And how's this for a doozy hot off the press?
Although there's rather long list of individual Bush appointees who have been caught behaving criminally, it seems that a larger and more ominous pattern is emerging. It behooves us to pay close attention.
