Gerald Ford, The Greatest President Who Ever Lived

I have been watching with a combination of amusement and disgust the
gaudy display that his been going on during the past few days, where
speaker after speaker has described Gerald Ford in the most laudatory
terms imaginable.

One would imagine that Gerald Ford was the greatest president who ever
lived, and possibly the greatest man in the history of the world.

However, those of us with a sense of history and who actually remember
the man realize that Gerald Ford was a terribly mediocre man. President
Lyndon B. Johnson got it exactly right when he said that Gerald Ford
was "too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time".

I wonder why the taxpayers are paying for all this pomp and
circumstance, all this gaudy display over a man who became president,
and a **** poor president at that, as a historical accident and as a
reward for being the last to remain slavishly loyal to President
Richard Nixon during the depths of the Watergate Crisis. Why is all
this ceremony pushing the real, serious and important news, like what
is going on in Iraq, off of the front pages of the news?

Ahh and that's when such liberal tactics started. If you don't like your
oponent then mock them as stupid. No matter what they have achieved in
their life.


It was the same as with Eisenhower. Liberals have been doing this nonsense
for too long.


Being born in 1954 I'm too young to remember, but I doubt anyone could have
possibly had anything bad to say about Ike. Didn't he graduate around the
middle of his class at West Point? Supreme Allied Commander during WWII?
President of the US? President of Columbia University? Artist (two rooms,
two coats, one day)?

As for Ford, didn't he graduate in the upper third of his class at Yale Law
School? War Hero? And the only honest president we've had since Eisenhower?
Yikes.

Ford was not elected, but stepped into the Presedency when Richard "I am not
a crook" Nixswine was forced to resign due to the exposure of his Watergate
crimes. In gratitude, Ford PARDONED Nixon, thus sabotaging justice and
showing himself to be just as much a criminal.

Still, I hope that someday America will set an example of morality for the
world to follow. Of course, to the fascists now ruling America, all
"morality" means is the suppression of such pleasures as sex - except for
themselves, of course.

for too long.



CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST

It all began a hundred thousand years ago on a ledge in front of a
cave. A female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of
a male. The male stepped forward and smacked her over the head with
his club. WHACK! He then dragged the unconscious female into his
cave for sex.

One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a
female walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but
the second male communicated to him that clubbing females over the
head to have sex was not nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped
over the unconscious second male and proceeded to rape the female.
On that day the first liberal paid the price for expressing a new
idea.

Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent
of projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and
Goliath story in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid
flat by the small but smarter boy. Once brute strength was no
longer the controlling factor in social interaction, liberal ideas
slowly gained a foothold in human culture, and civilization began.

Throughout human history, the price for advocating tolerance and
progressive change has been paid in threats, beatings,
excommunication, incarceration, torture, murder, assassination, and
execution. Countless liberals have paid the ultimate price for
their humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most famous, names in
recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther King
Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy.

Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and
nations - who use threats and violence to silence the voices of
reason, tolerance, and progress. Here in America it is seen in
racists and homophobes beating blacks and gays, sometimes to death,
not for money or out of anger generated by interactive cause, but
because of religious or racial intolerance and secular bigotry.

Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative
organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his
freedom of speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front
of his house.

David Rice is a man on death row in Washington State who has no
remorse whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and
carving out their living hearts only because he heard they were
"liberals." He got their names from a Democratic Party membership
list.

Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 men,
women, and children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever
committed such an abominable atrocity?

The most abominable atrocity in several decades is the 9/11
terrorist attacks in which thousands of innocent civilians were
murdered. The alleged perpetrators, Osama Bin Laden and the al
Qaeda-Taliban terrorists, epitomize the right-wing religious
fundamentalist mentality.

Some believe that the 9/11 attacks were deliberately allowed to happen,
exacerbated, or even perpetrated by radical right-wing elements within
our own government to further their fascistic agenda. Two buildings
were hit by planes, but THREE collapsed. The evidence that the three
collapsed buildings were brought down with demolition explosives put in
place BEFORE the attacks is very strong.

Arguing that such horrendous crimes are not political in nature or
that they are not done primarily by conservatives is utter
nonsense. Look back:

Who nailed who to a cross?

Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George?

Who started our Civil War to defend slavery?

Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their
sovereignty over their own bodies in the freedom to choose
abortion?

Who fought against child labor statutes?

Who fought against the concept of free public education?

Who fought against the right of women to vote?

Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation?

Who fought against workers organizing?

Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars
"unsafe at any speed?"

Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11
terrorist attacks?

Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40
million more?

Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years?

Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security,
health care for the elderly, and minimum wages?

Who fights against environmental protection statutes?

Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle
minorities?

Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering,
terminally ill patients soon to die anyway?

Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our
other Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections?

Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical
inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and
draconian, police-state enforcement practices?

Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above
the common good?

CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?

The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE
OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST!

Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal,"
whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change,
humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They
identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality,
when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate
welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and
other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change
and progress beyond "what's in it for me?"

At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the
despotic practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and
power, and willing to use any and all means to get them.
Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business
suit.

AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH!

I often use the term 'stoopit' to describe conservatives. It fits, since that's
how it sounds coming from those mouth-breathers.

No matter what they have achieved in their
life.

All Presidents get the same treatment. When Clinton and Carter pass they
will get the same treatment. It's called respect and it honors the highest
office in the United States. You may not like the President but all
Presidents deserve it. What lefties and righties have done to each other
over the last several years is sick and disgusting. Clinton and Bush should
get the respect they deserve.

Nobody did, Other than being an artist rather than
