Goose-Stepping the Way to Paradise
Billions may disagree with the policies of the Bush Administration, but they are evil and do not count

George W. Bush has finally gotten his wish: Democracy is on the march! You can almost hear the goose-stepping. Everyone who is anyone agrees with the wisdom of the Great Leader. At the White House, and on the road, there is not a dissenting voice to be heard. Hail victory!

Of course, unanimity is easy. The smaller the electorate the simpler it is to “persuade” others to see the correct point of view. Luckily, morality exercises a profound influence on this administration. Evil is excluded that goodness might prevail. All decisions are made only by the most noble. And here, “nobility” is of the utmost importance.

You must be rich in order to be noble. You must also possess a strong sense of class-consciousness. You must believe implicitly. All of your ideas, thoughts, and aspirations must be subsumed within the dominant psyche. It does not matter that this controlling force is but a receptacle for these ideas. It contributes nothing to them; doesn’t even analyze them or evaluate them. The owner of this “well of good intentions” is merely a vehicle. Embracing all the diversity that the world has to offer, The George – in his infinite wisdom – has incorporated even the most abstruse of Eastern philosophies. In little more than four years’ time, he has reached the Buddha’s goal – the Great Nothingness of Nirvana (Nerve-ana).

Nothing exists inside the Presidential head. Nothing stirs within his heart. The sufferings of humanity are extinguished. All is alchemically transmuted – the base into gold. For our George W. Bush has proved wrong all the great prophets. The goal is not much more than to contain nothingness, to suppress all earthly desire, and to conclude the endless cycle of wont and rebirth. Mr. Bush’s great goal is to gather unto himself all of the riches of the Globe, and then to purge himself of this great weight by sending these same trifles out again to the needful devout.

Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleezza Rice are the high priests and priestess of this long-awaited revelation – the newest testament of all. Pretty logical really, when you consider that, “testaments,” as in “last wills and testaments” were among the first concerns of the new era. One should not tax the wealth of the few that it might fly into the hands of the undeserving. And most people are – let’s face it – undeserving. The good man or woman must give unto the Enlightened One all of his or her physical possessions. In exchange, these human beings receive the most precious gift of all – freedom. And as we all know, freedom equals democracy.

George W. Bush has proven his commitment to virtue and democracy in everything he has done. Lately in particular, he has demonstrated that the general will demands, among other things, that Syrian troops withdraw from Lebanon, that Iran cease and desist from it real or not real weapons program, and that the benighted nations of Europe not sell arms to China. A quick glance at these marvelous ideas, and one might just conclude that there exist opinions and “values” other than those of George Bush and his sacred minions. But… you would be wrong. It goes back to our first premise – that only the good might have voice, or vote. George W. Bush is America (He says that all the time, just listen).

America, being holy, is never wrong, never evil. It would be perfectly fine if American troops were occupying Lebanon, as they are occupying Iraq. It would be perfectly fine if America were developing a whole new generation of deadly nuclear weapons (which it is). And you can bet your bottom dollar, that it would be perfectly fine if America were selling weapons to China (right now, we’re busy selling them to Iraq, and various other nations that desperately need them in order to join us in the War on Terror). Yes, America may sell its government bonds (i.e. its financial security); its jobs (i.e. its people’s welfare); and its principles (i.e. its plutocratic ideals to the People’s Republic), as these are things of genuine value and virtue. Goodness alone carries a price.

In short, billions may disagree with the policies of the Bush Administration, but they are evil and do not count. The wicked have no voice. Your dreams are of no account, so surrender them. Let the credit card companies relieve you of your earthly cares. Refuse that unnecessary raise in your minimum wage. Allow your local public schools to sink under the weight of unfunded mandates and tests. And when there isn’t anything else left to give, give them your vote. You can give of others too. Sons and daughters are particularly appreciated as fodder for the war on tyranny. Remember that there are yet distant nations that do not know what it means to be free. So,

Believe. Worship. Obey.

Give yourself up to the great nothingness and….

Goose step the way to Paradise!
