My New Favorite Organization - World Can't Wait

This one's a new one to me, "The World Can't Wait." I thought about posting the list of members at the bottom but it's so long and unremarkable it'd be a waste. You should take a second and look at it just for fun.

It was slightly surprising to see Casey Kasem in the list, but other than that, it's the same tired retreads on every other Anti-Bush campaign out there.

And here are the reasons, all classic:

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

One sentence, so many wrong answers. Read Bush's UN speech to hear the reasons. Then remember Clinton never even approached the UN before Bosnia, but who cared? There has never been a less murderous war, with more care taken for civilians.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Our government openly tries torturers, and convicts them.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Yes, please mirandize on the battlefield, and please don't deport overstaying terrorist suspects. And oh yeah, all this started with Bush.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

No examples necessary from these folks, they put the key phrases in, it's self-evident.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Failure to fund with confiscated taxes is not suppression, sorry. And exactly how much funding was there for stem cells, of any kind, before Bush? Yeah, suppression.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Again, the fact that you can't force us all to pay for others' abortions is not a denial of any right.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

Bigotry and intolerance, yes, through affirmative action, racial classifications, multi-language education, and other programs that produce resentment and separation of cultures. Ignorance, yes, through a public school system that values job protection and choice restriction over parental rights and quality education. Greed, I wish. You sorry socialists could use a little yourself instead of trying yoke those that actually produce anything into towing you around. Again, what does this all have to do with Bush?

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

It didn't take long to bring Hitler in, I expect to see a lot more genius from these folks in the future. Good luck, freakazoids.
