National Intelligence Test

Just how stupid are the American people? Have they any reasoning capabilities left at all? Bush and Cheney and the rest of the war profiteers have decided it's time to seize Iran's oil fields, except that, just like last time (Iraq, in case you forgot), they will tell you that they need to attack Iran to keep you safe. If you agree, you have failed the intelligence test but passed the "Tail-between-the-legs" Cowardice Test with flying colors!

Bush claims Iraqi insurgents (a quaint Bush euphemism for Iraqi patriots) are using bombs supplied by Iran. OOoooooooo - are you quaking in your boots yet? They even have photographic PROOF! Bush, Cheney, and Karl Rove figure that Americans are so stupid, you can tell them anything and they'll believe it because THEY said it. It doesn't make a difference that the writing on the bomb casings they show as PROOF of Iranian complicity is in ENGLISH. They believe Americans are too stupid to catch that, or to make any connection. They further believe that if the connection is pointed out to the American public, they can bullshit their way out of it - just as they did with their Iraq proof of weapons of mass destruction. Remember that? First we had to invade Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction - WMDs - and those weapons were gonna get YOU! BOO! When no WMDs were found, they decided we had to LIBERATE the Iraqis from Hussein. When Hussein was captured, they said we had to bring FREEDOM to the Iraqis. Freedom is on the march! Can you hear the drumbeat? All the while Bush and his cronies were rallying the American people with their phony battle cries, they were robbing us blind. The American treasury is broke. Not just broke, in debt to China, Japan, anyone they can get to buy our bonds to float the debt that is called the Iraq War. Didn't you even wonder why the money to fund the war was sent IN CASH??? Billions of dollars in CASH. It took several transport planes to make the first shipment. There was no accounting. The cash was simply wrapped in plastic "bricks" and "distributed". If you knew that, give yourself 5 points.

Were you ever in favor of the war in Iraq, of invading another sovereign nation without provocation, thereby destablizing the entire world - sending a message to the nations of the world that they can attack any nation they damn well please if they think that nation might pose a risk to their national security? If you were, you lose 80 points. If you were not in favor, give yourself 80 points

Were you in favor of the Patriot Act? If you were, subtract another 80 points (don't feel bad, Bush has a negative IQ, too). If you were not in favor of the Act, which trashed our Constitutional rights and showed no respect for civil liberties, then give yourself another 80 points. (you could be a genius by now)

Were you ever in favor of holding people at Guantanimo Bay without due process and with no regard for respecting and upholding the Geneva Conventions? If you were in favor, you are officially brain dead. If not, you are a thinking, reasoning human being, capable of discerning right from wrong even if you are made to feel afraid and insecure.

This could go on and on and on - that is how bad it is, yet this subhuman and his cronies continue to rule, and they do rule. Make no mistake about it. The election of 2000 was a coup. The votes have all been counted, folks, and Al Gore won both the popular votes and the electoral college. We are in the midst of a despotic regime. Search the news, read, explore BBC, CNN, find OBJECTIVE news and become part of the informed citizenry. When you are ready, write your Congressional representatives. E-mail them. Call them. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! We have not been a democracy since 2000, but people are waking up now. Our representatives are awakening. Make sure your representatives know your views so they really can represent you! Don't let Bush bully your representatives! Let them know what you think and what you want them to do. If you have done your research, you will want only one thing: impeachment of Bush and Cheney NOW.
