I just have to ask...

I pose this question to loyal fans of this president and his news service, FOX:

How can your loyalty endure WHEN:

** not just the FDA and EPA, but every agency created to protect Americans from corporate greed has been made toothless under his administration,

** unknown numbers of people, Americans included, are being seriously harmed by FDA-approved genetically modified foods, the same foods that produced life-threatening diseases when it was fed to animals in laboratories?

** your president has allowed the development and now the dissemination of genetically-modified seeds that do not themselves yield other seeds so that in time all seeds must be purchased, every growing season, from the owners of the genetically modified seeds, the Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanta Corporation, etc.

** we are being killed by dangerous prescription drugs and devices rubber-stamped by an FDA, an agency your president has rendered toothless and the courts have granted the manufacturers immunity because the FDA approved them: implanted defibrilators, for instance?

** Americans must do without food to pay power bills?

** Americans must choose between paying their rent/mortgage and eating?

** we have to choose between buying food and paying our auto insurance premiums and our doctor bills?

** prescribed drugs are killing people and yet these drugs are not pulled from the shelves until, as in the case of Merck's Vioxx (FDA approved in 1999), 20,000 have died? (Even after paying off all the pesky lawsuits, they will come out way ahead. The revenue on that one defective drug alone netted Merck billions! What are 20,000 deaths when billions are at stake?)

** BigPharma has bought enough of our representatives and senators to ensure passage of CODEX, a program outlawing the purchase of vitamins and minerals without a doctor's prescription (and even with a prescription the minimal mandated dosages ensure that the public will not benefit from the nutrient?) They cannot make a profit on well people!

** twelve-year-old school girls continue to die as a result of Merck’s and Glaxo’s generous contributions to politicians, contributions generous enough to ensure passage of a law in 16 states requiring their innoculation with their HPV vaccine - that may protect them against two of the 100 viruses that cause cervical cancer, a vaccine that has already killed three young girls in the year it has been on the market and harmed an unknown number!!!!!

** when parents are no longer able to protect their children against not just the single law cited above, but any law that Merck, Glaxo, and any other pharmaceutical company is able to purchase from our legislators with their billions of dollars - dollars we give them every time we purchase one of their drugs?

FINALLY, will your faith in this man's administration of our country and Fox News' coverage of that administration (which has not included a single one of the above-cited accomplishments of your president) still be intact? Will it?

While the dollars we earn are worth less each day, this president, your president, with the support of both Republican and Democrats in the House and Senate, is spending $338 MILLION A DAY, BORROWED MONEY that we can never hope to repay, to:

** kill Iraqi’s (men, women, and children),

** purposefully target and bomb their hospitals,

** purposefully destroy or pollute their drinking water,

** target and bomb their power stations (thereby sentencing to death babies in incubators, the sick who cannot live without dialysis and artificial life support, etc.),

** kill and maim our own men and women in uniform in his manufactured, unjust war, by protecting contractors whose inferior equipment subjects them to unnecessary risks, risks born of his and their greed, men and women in uniform whom he rewards by proposing a drastic cut in funding for their 2009 medical expenses, a year when the number of veterans is expected to increase 26 percent!

** reward corporations (to the tune of billions of dollars) in which he and/or his vice president have financial interests!

Tell us, you loyal fans of Bush and Fox News, can you, how you justify the unbelievable profits being enjoyed by the oil companies (the largest in history!) since your president began his war, while we pay $3.00 plus a gallon for fuel, or pay power bills that have increased to the point where we have to cross item after item off our grocery lists or dip into our rent or mortgage money or money we reserved to pay our insurance premiums or our doctors? CAN YOU?

Tell us, will you, how you justify your president spending $338 billion each day on KILLING, CRIPPLING, AND DESTROYING when that money would:

** provide health care for all Americans,

** support the school lunch programs he wants to eliminate,

** provide funds for scholarships and grants

** build literally hundreds of thousands of homes for Americans,

** finance the building of manufacturing plants (which by law should not be permitted to outsource anything except products!), to help rebuild the American economy that he has managed to dismantle,

** build new bridges, highways, public buildings,

** create mass transit systems in all our major cities thereby lessening our dependence on oil,

** pay for research that will enable us to meet the coming challenges of global warming,

Can you look us in the eye and justify your undying loyalty to this president who considers the RIGHT TO TORTURE more important than the RIGHT TO LIVE or the RIGHT TO CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS, rights that many Americans have given their lives to defend!

Explain to us your loyalty to a president who lives for the day when critics of his leadership and agendas can be instantly silenced by legislation and executive orders laws he has long had in place for that day.

---laws that give him the power and control of a totalitarian dictator, the power and control of the God you worship?

---laws that permit torture and other abuses so terrible that they will keep most men silent when they see their neighbor taken away in the dead of night - for fear that they will be next? Can you?

Will you. fans of this president and his propaganda mill, FOX News, celebrate with him when he realizes his dream, when he replaces our Constitution with his “NEW AMERICAN CONSTITUTION,” a necessity, he will tell us, in that the former Constitution with its troublesome Bill of Rights and Amendments guaranteeing the terrorists freedom of speech, freedom from arrest without probable cause, the right to know the crime they are charged with, the right to be represented by counsel, all those rights and the many others that hindered our WAR ON TERROR. Will you?
