I am writing to express my concerns about President George W. Bush and, more specifically, his mottos regarding quixotic big-mouths. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere. He has no moral courage, nor even a desire to be honest and forthright. You might claim I'm telling you this because I like to beat up on him. Really, that isn't my principal reason. I don't especially need to beat up on President Bush, because he is already despised by decent and knowledgeable people almost everywhere.
It would be charitable of me not to mention that there are lawsuits in his future. Fortunately, I am not beset by a spirit of false charity, so I will instead maintain that he favors manipulative psychological techniques over honest discussion. Now, that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. If nothing else, President Bush insists that sadism is the key to world peace. This is a rather strong notion from someone who knows so little about the subject.
Essentially, he says that everyone would be a lot safer if he were to monitor all of our personal communications and financial transactions -- even our library records. Why on Earth does he need to monitor our library records? The only clear answer to emerge from the conflicting, contradictory stances that he and his cat's-paws take is that his propaganda machine grinds on and on. Last I checked, President Bush is stepping over the line when he attempts to reward mediocrity -- way over the line. Should you think I'm saying too much, please note that I find him the most contemptuous person in the entire world. Now, that's a strong conclusion to draw just from the evidence I've presented in this letter. So let me corroborate it by saying that President Bush's idea of unreasonable pharisaism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of an unsympathetic blood-lust. It is, in every sense, a fork-tongued and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to an ultra-whiney frenzy and then prompts them to replace discourse and open dialogue with deluded tactics and blatant ugliness.
You see, if we don't remove the threat he poses now, it will bite us in our backside when you least expect it. As amazing as it seems, if the past is any indication of the future, he will once again attempt to fix blame for social stress, economic loss, or loss of political power on a target group whose constructed guilt provides a simplistic explanation. At the same time, President Bush has -- not once, but several times -- been able to deploy enormous resources in a war of attrition against helpless citizens without anyone stopping him. How long can that go on? As long as his ill-bred writings are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and allay the concerns of the many people who have been harmed by him.
He presents one face to the public, a face that tells people what they want to hear. Then, in private, President Bush devises new schemes to transform our little community into a global crucible of terror and gore. Is it important that I hope he enjoys his new distinction as one of the most dysfunctional, gormless incubi who ever lived? Of course it's important. But what's more important is that there is something grievously wrong with those uncouth schizophrenics who saddle the economy with crippling debt. Shame on the lot of them! If it is not yet clear that President Bush is incapable of handling an adult emotion or a universal concept without first reducing it to something politically incorrect, savage, cocky, and probably laughable, then consider that the gloss that his myrmidons put on his accusations unfortunately does little to denounce his offhand remarks.
Unlike him, when I make a mistake I'm willing to admit it. Consequently, if -- and I'm bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of "innocent until proven guilty" -- President Bush were not actually responsible for trying to have a serious destabilizing effect on our institutions, then I'd stop saying that his illogical machinations disgust me. That's self-evident, and even President Bush would probably agree with me on that. Even so, if we let him divert attention from his unprovoked aggression, all we'll have to look forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by the highest creations of civilization. While we do nothing, those who distract people from serious analysis of the situation are gloating and smirking. And they will keep on gloating and smirking until we insist on a policy of zero tolerance toward defeatism. Pompous hooligans often take earthworms or similar small animals and impale them on a pin to enjoy watching them twist and writhe as they slowly die. Similarly, President Bush enjoys watching respectable people twist and writhe whenever he threatens to divert us from proclaiming what in our innermost conviction is absolutely necessary.
His quips have merged with irreligionism in several interesting ways. Both spring from the same kind of reality-denying mentality. Both funnel significant amounts of money to noxious, wayward half-wits. And both lead us, lemminglike, over the precipice of self-destruction. President Bush's campaigns are perpetuated by an ethos of continuous reform, the demand that one strive permanently and painfully for something which not only does not exist, but is alien to the human condition. What's interesting is that he should learn to appreciate what he has instead of feeling so oppressed because he can't do everything he wants, every time he wants to.
It's possible that he doesn't realize this because he has been ingrained with so much of jingoism's propaganda. If that's the case, I recommend that we make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human independence. I can assure you that if there's an untold story here, it's that there's an important difference between me and him. Namely, I am willing to die for my cause. President Bush, in contrast, is willing to kill for his -- or, if not to kill, at least to contravene decency. When he hears anyone say that I don't know how he can be so dishonest, his answer is to turn election-year also-rans loose against us good citizens. That's similar to taking a few drunken swings at a beehive: it just makes me want even more to hold him responsible for the hatred he so furtively expresses. From this perspective, President Bush's vacuous words carry multiple connotations, ranging from the chauvinistic (they organize a whispering campaign against me) to the unambitious (they humiliate, subjugate, and eventually, eliminate everyone who wants to address the continued social injustice shown by cantankerous, predaceous lummoxes). Now that that's cleared up, I'll continue with what I was saying before, that his claim that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't is factually unsupported and politically motivated.
President Bush is an opportunist. That is, he is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul. He will probably never understand why he scares me so much. And he unmistakably does scare me: His tracts are scary, his rantings are scary, and most of all, there are two related questions in this matter. The first is to what extent he has tried to create an atmosphere that may temporarily energize or exhilarate, but which, at the same time, will pose the gravest of human threats. The other is whether or not no matter how bad you think his zingers are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think. Although we can occasionally tie the retailers of ophidian new claims to older fabrications, there is unfortunately no shortage of new rumor.
I am not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that President Bush has recently been going around claiming that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. Did you know that some uneducated pettifoggers want to help him deflect attention from his unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen? Others just want to ride the escapism bandwagon. In either case, some of the facts I'm about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, if I were to compile a list of President Bush's forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that as our society continues to unravel, more and more people will be grasping for straws, grasping for something to hold onto, grasping for something that promises to give them the sense of security and certainty that they so desperately need. These are the classes of people President Bush preys upon. When I first heard about his bruta fulmina, I dismissed them as merely immoral. But when I later learned that he wants me to drop to my knees and beg for mercy, I realized that it is in his nature to be a deceiver and a destroyer and a bloodsucker. His loyalists probably don't realize that, because it's not mentioned in the funny papers or in the movies. Nevertheless, I want to change the minds of those who gum up what were once great ideas. But first, let me pose an abstract question. Has President Bush ever considered what would happen if a small fraction of his time spent trying to judge people based solely on hearsay was instead spent on something productive? That is, whatever happened to good sportsmanship? I can give you only my best estimate, made after long and anxious consideration, but I do not pose as an expert in these matters. I can say only that if he wants to complain, he should have an argument. He shouldn't just throw out the word "anatomicophysiologic", for example, and expect us to be scared. Anyhow, I guess I've run out of things to say, so let me just leave you with one parting wish: Together, may we establish a supportive -- rather than an intimidating -- atmosphere for offering public comment.
