Abusive Commenter

I have had it up to HERE with W, and I happily ignored his speech last night. I did, however, read about it in the WaPo today. The following quote jumped out at me, singed my eyebrows and nose hair, poked me in the eye, raised my blood pressure several points and gave me liver damage.
"I have often spoken to you about good and evil," he said. "This has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise."
This from a man who pushed for and authorized the actualization of his revenge fantasies - the torture, humiliation and degradation of detainees. A man who does not recognize the most basic and fundamental legal right - habeas corpus. A man who proclaimed it his perogative to designate persons of his choosing enemy combatants and detain them indefinitely without charges. A man who scorned the Constitution, the rule of law, and any international obligations he didn't particularly care for. A man who lied and lied and lied to all of us over and over again, to justify an unjustifiable war in which more than a hundred thousand human beings have died and at least as many have been permanently maimed physically and psychologically. A man who continues to lie and lie and lie as he parades himself as our noble protector.
I am sickened by this ignorant man who has made me feel ashamed to be governed by a pack of cynical, paranoid, heartless criminals. He has been our most dangerous president ever, a clear and present danger to all that we hold dear. We are lucky to have survived his terms in office with no more grievous damage than we have already sustained.
