Bush is a Girlie-Man Who Abuses the American People

By Leutisha Stills

Greetings from your favorite Christian Liberal:

I've read two articles, "Country Club Swagger" from Clevescene.com and "George W. Bush Ain't No Cowboy" in the Village Voice. Both articles parallel each other and they both come to the same conclusion: GEORGE BUSH IS NOT A REAL MAN.

We've also had Dr. Justin Frank tell us in his book, "Bush on the Couch"

(required reading) that Bush is incapable of being a real man, because of the dysfunction in his upbringing. It requires an individual with sensitivity and compassion for his fellow man to be a "real" man. The rest of the world has come to this conclusion; so why does the Boy in the Bubble needs to buy a clue that we're not happy with him? I don't know about you, but I feel like a woman that's being abused by her lover, with GeeDubya being in the White House.

I would like to provide my own analogy in relation to the articles and GeeDubya's "Macho" attitude towards his job as POTUS.

While I grew up in California, I wasn't born here; I was born in Texas, home of the real macho "Marlboro Man" (He later died of AIDS). So I think, having lived in Texas, I know what a real cowboy/real man looks like. And he doesn't look like GeeDubya, Rummy or Ashcroft.

A REAL MAN:

Doesn't abuse his woman (wife, mother or daughters), his friends, or any other individual less powerful than him in the name of love, loyalty or patriotism. Every time GeeDubya passes a law, changes a policy designed to devastate the masses, he is pimp-slapping us and why do we continue to allow it? Loving Americans shouldn't hurt Americans, yet that's what this Sock-Puppet calls loving "Amurica".

Accepts responsiblity for his actions, even if he screws up. Abuse occurs when the abuser blames the victim for his abusing her. He has the perception that he's in control when he beats his woman into submission. The world sees this and identifies him as the jackass he really is, because he's out of control.

Is open, honest, transparent, as well as being LIBERAL in his love, care and concern for others, especially the poor and downtrodden. He didn't pick fights because he could, but because defending the little person was the right thing to do. He shows his sense of fair play in an open manner; we didn't have to guess if he was going to be fair. We keep asking GeeDubya to love us, and he tells us that he loves us; yet he beats us into a senselessness that Ike Turner didn't put on Tina before she got fed up and left his burned-out-on coke behind. Like Tina, we who are tired of being shown " love" by GeeDubya's continual pimp-slapping us; we need to break this cycle and leave Dubya's brand of "loving" come November 2nd, or we literally get killed by it, for it would only be a matter of time before GeeDubya escalates the abuse on a whole 'nother level.

Doesn't challenge a guy to a fight, then goes outside and beats up the guy in the wheelchair instead (Village Voice). Yet, didn't Dubya, by fiat, do this very thing to individuals like Max Cleland, John McCain, and now, John Kerry? Why does he challenge guys that he can't whip, then goes out and beat up the guy in the wheelchair (like when he went after Saddam, instead of Osama)? This is the essence of being a "Girlie-Man".

A Real Man is patient, kind, and temperate in his dealings with others.

He doesn't allow his proclivities to overwhelm him and take over in the face of common sense. Anyone can fire those who disagree with him. But a real man can take the heat of someone more clear eyed that he, telling him when he's wrong.

I'd like to use a Biblical analogy for the last factor. King David was an example of a Real Man.

When David committed adultery with Bathsheba, got her pregnant, sent for the husband, Uriah, to come home and sleep with Bathsheba in an attempt to cover it up; then Uriah refused to sleep with his wife cause his boys were on the front line fighting David's war, David sent Uriah to the front line of battle, where he was promptly killed in action. David sinned, first with the affair with Bathsheba, then having her husband killed to cover it up. David's second in command, Nathan, promptly confronted him on this (Read 2 Samuel 12:1-7). Since he was King, David could have had Nathan jailed, or at worse, executed, for calling him on his crappy actions.

However, because David was a Christian, he could only acknowledge that Nathan was right, and that he needed to make things right with God (Psalms 51).

Yet what was GeeDubya's (King David) response when Paul O'Neill (Nathan) called him on the economic disaster that would follow the massive tax cuts?

Several pimp-slaps administered to O'Neill by Dubya, Cheney and Rumsfeld, before GeeDubya showed some mercy in firing O'Neill. You can get a good idea of how O'Neill was shabbily treated by this Administration in Ron Suskind's "The Price of Loyalty". The very essence of a "girlie-man" response.

A Real Man honors the wishes of the majority, even if they don't personally favor him. He wouldn't be caught dead in dealings that are conflicts of interest or collusion against his people. Yet we get slapped by Dubya as he tells us the rules and codes of fair dealing don't apply to him, when he hands Halliburton, Brown & Root, and other profiteers of this war, fat contracts with just a wink and a nod. Another "girlie-man" response.

I can envision Dubya pulling out a mythical gun and putting it to our heads on November 2, 2004, as he screams that he's still the President, despite Kerry winning in a landslide. Because we're immune to the slapping, kicking and beating, Dubya has to take his abuse up a notch with the gun metaphor I've used here, by beating us into further submission. However, the masses are growing. I wonder if the public will be treated to a scene of the FBI hauling Dubya out of the White House in a straitjacket and handcuffs, because he's caught in the act of abusing his spouse (the American People) and arrested for domestic violence?

A Real Man is not a "girlie-man". Only a true coward beats up on those he knows cannot fight back. GeeDubya's treatment of the American people, the office of the President and the Government is like an abusive relationship, and it's time for us, the American People, to break the abusive cycle. We start on November 2, 2004, by sending him back to that cowchip he calls a ranch in Crawford, Texas.

My name is Leutisha Stills. I am the Christian Liberal, a Loyal supporter of this publication and I'm breaking the cycle of abuse. Won't you join me?
