HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE DAY — Haku ikaika a haina: TyrantDEMOCRACY DIES IN THE U.S.
November 26, 2000: Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris certified Republican George W. Bush the winner over Democrat Al Gore in the state’s presidential balloting by 537 votes. Harris was also the Florida Chairman for the Bush-Cheney campaign.
U.S. Supreme Court
Proves Itself Supreme Hypocrites
This came after a supposedly impartial U.S. Supreme Court intervened on Bush’s behalf, refusing to allow a statewide recount of votes, even though Al Gore received the majority of votes nationwide.
Since This Stolen Election,
The Bush-Cheney Cabal Has Made a Killing
Both oilmen, they have declared war on oil-rich middle east nations, killing thousands of US soliders and tens of thousands of innocent civillians, tripling the price of gasoline, reducing the value of the Dollar against the Euro by a third, and incurring a $10 trillion national debt, all while destroying civil liberties at home, and rewarding cronies with lucrative no-bid contracts abroad.
Exporting U.S. Terrorism Abroad
Our neo-con tyrants have also been attempting to impose similar pseudo democracies in other countries around the world that do not have tyrants or dictators politically aligned with them. They have also promoted and conducted torture of illegally held prisoners, severely damaging the U.S.reputation for integrity and justice around the world.
In seven years, in addition to eviscerating the US Constitution, Bush-Cheney have created many more terrorists than they have destroyed. It’s hard to imagine anyone fucking up this country so badly without actually intending to do so … so who are the real enemies?
