McCain and Guiliani pimp Endless Crusade

John McCain and Rudi Giuliani kicked off the RNC last night with two solid speeches without one fact or opinion based in reality. Their speeches spun off into insane Fascist ideals of Uncle Sam scouring the Earth clean of Islam in a never-ending Crusade against those that "hate us because we're free."



Giuliani and MacCain make case for Bush. Dig grave for America.


Senator John Sydney McCain addressed the RNC delegates in New York City tonight along with former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Both men stood at a lectern made of dark rough wood that looked a prop from the Passion of the Christ. The half time show between their speeches featured some 911 widows firing up the Ring of Jesus Fire to protect America as the Lord's personal favourite country got down to some serious Islamic ass-thrashing.




McCain roused the smugly nodding crowd with a gently rising rhetoric that bordered on the messianic. Actually, McCain’s role is more John the Baptist to Bush’s Jesus.

McCain is best remembered as a POW who spent years in captivity in North Vietnam. Why was John McCain in North Vietnam? He was a carrier based pilot who flew 23 combat missions over North Vietnam. On the day that he was shot down by North Vietnamese air defense he was on his way to bomb a power plant.

McCain is no hero. He was a long distance killer. He wasn’t fighting a war. He was terrorising a civilian population.

In his speech McCain made reference to Michael Moore, who is attending the RNC as a columnist for USA TODAY. McCain called Moore a “disingenuous film maker.” This resulted in several minutes of booing and catcalls up at Moore’s skybox.

McCain, the “air-pirate” as he was termed by the North Vietnamese, spoke at great length about the war America now fights. He spoke of the “enemy,” and he spoke of the “war.”

But, like something straight out of 1984, McCain never said who the enemy was, or who America was at war against.

This is a new twilight world. A twilight world lit by the furious fires of hatred and prejudice.

A twilight world where absolute lies and complete falsehoods have replaced anything resembling reality.

In the twilight world of the Republican National Convention the thousands of delegates are shown on the television knowingly nodding. Nodding sheep, self-congratulatory in their certainty of what they are hearing.

Former New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani was billed as the heavy hitter on tonight’s bill.
His apocalyptic ranting drew multitudinous rounds of applause from the near hysterical audience as he launched into stories about terrorist attacks against Israelis.

The shadowy enemy is obviously, though never mentioned, Islam. The shadowy enemy is alluded to as being a “hijacked religion.” Giuliani though extends the umbrella to cover all of the Middle East and Sudan. North Korea is forgotten.

Global terrorism is quite clearly Islam.

Giuliani and McCain both delivered true Tent-Revival speeches which centred on, as McCain said, “Might makes right,” and as Giuliani said, “You’re either with us or against us.”

Watching this magic show, thankfully from Canada, I would honestly say that I was terrified by hearing what amounted to a pile of lies and religious fervour in aid of unleashing upon the world unending devastation and slaughter.

I am, at this precise moment, ready to write America off. Ready to write America off.

When even after the absence of WMD, the non-existence of a link between Al Qa’ida and Saddam, and the refutation of any connection between Iraq and 911; yet both McCain and Giuliani told flat out lie after lie, falsehood after falsehood.

I don’t mean little fibs. I’m talking about straight out lies. Saddam was responsible for 911, Iraq was a major player in Global Terrorism, the Palestinians are terrorists, and so forth.

This is straight up insanity. It’s not an excuse any more to say that “we were misguided on the intelligence.” The truth has been out there for a long period now.

What went on tonight was a frightening descent into a bizarre pro-Israel anti-Islamic Crusade which both these men urged, nay, demanded, that Americans wage with every fibre of their souls.

Like I said, if Bush is re-elected that will be the end of America.

Even if he isn’t re-elected, to have people like McCain and Guliani speak to, and reflect the thinking of, so many Americans is a truly terrifying vision of a horrible darkness made so sinister by the fires of religious fundamentalism which are fanned and stoked by generations of American racism and hatred.


If both these men are to be redeemed in any way, they should declare themselves insane and voluntarily commit themselves to their nearest mental institution.

I’m quite serious. They are quite obviously insane. If you doubt me, please find a copy of their speeches tonight and read them for yourself.
