Once upon a time, we believed government would not wiretap without judicial review. Once upon a time, we believed only evil nations would 'Pearl Harbor' another country - and lie about it.
Once upon a time, the president declared "Mission Accomplished" only long after the mission had been defined.
Once upon a time, we put major military assets into the Reserves and National Guard so that American would never go to war without good reason.
Once upon a time, when a nuclear power plant had severe safety problems and when the NRC said it must shutdown immediately, then it happened - so as to not risk an entire American city.
Once upon a time, when massive numbers of American were at risk from storm damage and massive flooding, then a president did not go off somewhere on campaigns fund raiser - and then deny that the levees would be breached.
Once upon a time, religious extremism had no place in government.
Once upon a time, when an enemy of America killed thousands of Americans, then America did not stop until that man was brought to justice.
Once upon a time, when American patriots detected an attack on the United States and wrote a PDB warning of this attack, then the president read that memo and ordered the Federal government to find and stop that attack.
Once upon a time, when numerous federal law enforcement agents were on the trail of terrorism, then lawyers did not subvert every investigation.
Once upon a time, a president spent money on science based in science - and not based upon religious agendas.
Once upon a time, when aircraft were slamming into American buildings, then Administration senior officials ordered fighters to protect American - shoot down any further attackers if necessary.
What's a little corruption when $hundreds of millions have disappeared and are unaccounted for in Iraq. Clearly this is acceptable because god choose this president.
Clearly those tsunami victims died because god decided they did not need American help for ten days.
Clearly those evil people in New Orleans deserved to die which is why god kept the USS Bataan out of New Orleans.
Clearly god intended that massive government protection help keep American drug prices 40% and higher than everywhere else in the world.
Clearly god gave us Democrats so that his chosen incompetents would remain in power.
Who's joking? I'm not. Above is called reality. When did reality become funny?
