YOU ARE A SPECIAL PEOPLE CONS
You supported bush, but in time, you will come to realize how he targeted you for deception.
You were specially picked because of the attributes you possess: fear, ignorance, arrogance, belligerence, bigotry, and low self-esteem. Bush's political strategists calculated that the people most easily misled and controlled are the ones who fit your profile, so they crafted their propaganda just for you.
He got your support by making you feel better about your personal flaws. He told you to wave the flag because your bigotry is nothing be ashamed of, and to thump the bible because your ignorance is a virtue. You should cherish your hatefulness and small-mindedness as they are family values. You are not society's rejects, but rather, you are higher on the ladder than certain other people. Right-wing radio points them out so that you know who to hate to feel better about yourself.
He feeds you crap about "imminent threat", "patriotism", "spreading freedom", and "flowers and candy". He's only tossing you a bone because he knows he's going to be asking you for a hefty sacrifice soon. He repeats meaningless, mind-numbing platitudes like "Freedom is not free!" and "We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here!" You fell for it.
By now, it should be apparent that the invasion of Iraq was a shameless oil grab. We're there because the rich, powerful, and greedy of this country, people who you have nothing to do with, want to control that part of the world's oil resources for decades to come, and they're using your tax dollars and your children's blood to do it. Over a hundred thousand people, American and Iraqi, are dead because of it, and the depleted uranium left behind will ensure that tens of thousands more die afterwards. You call that liberation? Not even that many people died when Saddam Hussein tried to grab Kuwait's oil fields years ago.
Yes, you are a special people, cons. You do not possess patriotism, a love of America, or any of those high-minded ideals as you would like to believe. You possess the qualities that allowed bush to hijack your free will to do his bidding. You were used, and he did it by playing to the personal shortcomings that most people try to hide. Like Samuel L. Jackson's character at the end of the movie Unbreakable, you become aware, only after the fact, of the disgraceful role that you were destined to play. You will come to realize that you are history's bad guy. Like the McCarthyites or the brownshirts, you will serve both as a symbol of shame and a warning to future generations. You truly are a special people.
