With Prof Buck McKeon (my local rep in CA)
Click here for LESSON ONE
Here is Buck’s speech (typical of most Republican’ts) in the House last week with a read-between-the-lines translation in bold type.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H. Con. Res. 63 and in support of (War Profiteering) a just cause that is facing a critical turning point. The outcome (Of Halliburton profits) hangs in the balance, and, Mr. Speaker, we should not kid ourselves into believing that victory is foreordained
(Even though we all know that it is impossible to WIN an OCCUPATION).
Churchill (Who was a drunk like Bush) once said that there would not be war if both sides did not believe that they could win it (But again, the only way to WIN an occupation is to stay forever…Look, don’t blame me. The Talking Points Memo demands that we compare Iraq to WWII…and don’t dare mention Vietnam). The enemy we face in Iraq and in the broader war against the radical Islamists is driven by an apocalyptic vision of God (Like our own American Taliban, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson), and because such apocalyptic visions are rooted in faith and not facts (Just like our own Rapture-Ready Born-Agains), they are very hard to dispel. We, therefore, face an opponent who is neither open to reason nor to compromise (Now that I think about it, that sounds like Dubya) , nor will he necessarily be defeated by calculations of military strategy and prudence (Wouldn’t be prudent to not give a shoutout to George Sr.
How can I work Reagan into this speech?).
We (Neocons) face the paradox of a perilous time (The jig is up!). At the opening of the 21st century, we are opposed by an adversary who preaches the savagery and barbarism of the 12th century (Here it is: the HOLY CRUSADE reference…1099 when stupid white men from Europe invaded the Middle East to kill anyone who wasn’t down with Jesus…That war lasted 300 years. Are you willing to hit “Replay”?). We face in Iraq an enemy that will allow us absolutely no quarter, and, Mr. Speaker, I am bound to say that I think we in this chamber, and, indeed, even in the country at large, have been slow to grasp that fact. (Islamists are Nazis but we fooled them this time. WE invaded and THEY are occupied)
As Lincoln (Who was a Republican like Bush, but back when Republicans defended the Republic rather than the corporations as we do today) said in the Gettysburg Address, “We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.” (Do you get my reference? Abe was a Republican President who won a Civil War. Maybe Dubya can too!??)
…never let us forget the Twin Towers (9/11, 9?11, 9/11…Throw me a frigging bone here!)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, etc.
See how easy it is to speak Neocon? Go now…Run for Office, use this valuable lesson in every speech you give, get elected and take millions in bribes from War Profiteers and Big Oil. Constructive Anarchy only asks that you send your first million to us as a small gesture of gratitude.
