"I Pledge Allegance to the Flag, of the United States of Bush..."

This is the pledge that the Righties seem to believe in.

Bush and Cheney first, America second.

No matter what Bush does or has done, it's just fine with them.

Their loyalty is to this right wing, selfish, class warfare, fascistic, "Ive-Got-Mine-To-Hell-With You", mentality, that has led us into resembling a third world country.

They've trashed those most precious ideals that we thought we stood for: universal rights and respect for all.

We no longer seem to believe in the premises that All Men are Created Equal or that We are A Nation of Laws, not of Men.

They've destroyed our respect for international treaties, including the Geneva Conventions.

And they've desimated the respect the World had for us, since before Abu Graib, Guantanamo, and extreme rendition became our policies.

And we sit and watch our Country disintegrate, before our eyes, with the only people with power to help, the United States Congress, fiddling, while America burns.

Tears and mourning seem to be the appropriate emotions.
