Georgie Got His Rope
Today is Tuesday, 6 June 2006.
George W. Bush, pretend-president, speechifying in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, DC, on 5 June 1006 [oops, 2006]:
“America is a free society which limits the role of government in the lives of our citizens. In this country, people are free to choose how they live their lives. In our free society, decisions about a fundamental social institution as marriage should be made by the people. (Applause.) “
ANALYSIS
BUSH: “America is a free society which limits the role of government in the lives of our citizens.” [SUBTEXT: However, in the case of “marriage,” the power of the government is unlimited.]
BUSH: “In this country, people are free to choose how they live their lives.” [COMMENT: So that’s why we have all those laws.]
BUSH: “In our free society, decisions about a fundamental social institution as marriage should be made by the people.” [HISTORICAL CONTEXT: “It is the will of the people of the state of Mississippi, that mongrel marriages between the supreme White Race and the degenerate coloreds shall be a crime.”]
In other wordz, let’s put human rights to a vote.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Thus, in Klanified Mississippi in 1963: “The n***** is sub-human, and therefore has no human rights. All in favor say “Heil!”
BUT WAIT! There’s more.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT: According to A. Hitler, the Klan, and many pseudo-“Christians”: “We can’t let Jew vermin pollute the pure White Race, so Jew-Gentile marriages shall be punishable by death.”
AUTHORIAL COMMENT: If you think this post is “over the top,” please note that marriages between “whites” and African-Americans were a crime at a time within the memory of most living Americans.
NOT SO COINCIDENTAL HISTORICAL COINCIDENCE PERHAPS: On this date in 1949, George Orwell’s novel 1984 was published.
[FULL DISCLOSURE: your author was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, early on a frosty morn’. Actually, 6:30 p.m., but obviously, under Bush League rules, truth don’t matter. Technically, this makes him a Southern White Male, but it didn’t stick.]
STORMY APPLAUSE IN THE HALL. [As was noted in transcripts of Stalin's speechifying.]
ARTISTIC NOTE: Today's post title is an homage to Dalton Trumbo, and his great novel, Johnny Got His Gun.

HH,
We are glad the "Southern White Male" part of your past didn't stick.
For the benefit of those who did not hear it, you have disected the President's 6/5/06 speach, pointing out all of the idiocy it contained. Thank you. I did not hear the speach till this morning on National Public Radio. I thought to myself, "Is he for real? Doesn't he know what he is saying is so flawed and CONTRATICTORY? Does he read what he says before he says it out loud? (We know he doesn't write his own stuff.) It left me speachless. It should have left him speachless, too.
