It's annual I Told You So day again.

I remember in 2001 how angry people were at me for being so cynical. I said the republicans would use the event as a way to institute martial law and build up the military. They'd use it as a weapon against liberals. They'd use it as a justification to invade Iraq. They'd use it as a weapon against immigrants and non-christians.

Everyone was outraged at me. They said the repubs were not a bunch of monsters and that surely they wouldn't be using such a horrible tragedy to their gain. No one could be that shallow.

I wish the people who said those things had been right but, I did try to warn you. :(

Casandra syndrome ... ain't it a pain?

No one ever believes it can get 'that bad'. The truly amazing thing is those that have all the facts at their disposal (military that have been deployed for a year at a time for example) and continue to support the Shrub. Crazy.

The picture they buried a long time ago with Bush flying on Air Force One after the bombings with a small secret smile on his lips. Even in the absence of anything else, that should have been a warning to folks.

I admire you for continuing to try to get people to listen. I just want to hit the blind now to maybe roll their eyes back into position, because debate doesn't do much. I've gotten tired of trying to convince idiots not to drink the kool-aid. If there was only a way to make them alone pay for their choices, their votes, without the rest of us suffering for their foolishness. People facing the consequences of their choices without others being hurt for it is truly in the realm of fantasy in this country though.
