<> WASHINGTON -- President Bush issued a Christmas Day call for compassion toward the sick and suffering, urging Americans to volunteer to help the neediest among their fellow citizens.
''The Christmas season fills our hearts with gratitude for the many blessings in our lives, and with those blessings comes a responsibility to reach out to others," Bush said in his weekly radio address.> ''Many of our fellow Americans still suffer from the effects of illness or poverty; others fight cruel addictions, or cope with division in their families, or grieve the loss of a loved one," he said. ''Christmastime reminds each of us . . . we are called to love our neighbor just as we would like to be loved ourselves. By volunteering our time and talents where they are needed most, we help heal the sick, comfort those who suffer, and bring hope to those who despair -- one heart and one soul at a time."
say what?? right... while the Rove machine destroys the capability of the US government from meeting its constitutional commitment (promote the general welfare and secure the blessing of liberty) the talking head puppet suggests that other citizens do the job. So where are the billionaires to pick up the cuts that will keep a million kids out of college now that Rove cut Pell grants? Where are the corporations to pay for public education now that Rove cut funding to schools? Where are the hospitals and insurance companies to fund health care now that Rove/Bush cut total funding while raising the costs of drugs and access?? Where is the trickle down of the billions of dollars put into the coffers of the rich and powerful after hugely cutting income taxes for the rich?
It is all so much feces... these guys are working on the goal of destroying all aspects of government other than a military police state... and then deceptively suggesting that those patrons of this state help others. When does the bake sale for the troops start???
